DSLR camera with HD video capabilities?




bbyA


For my birthday I'd decided I wanted a DSLR camera with video mode, specifically a Canon Rebel T1i. My birthday rolled around and I did not receive my camera. I was disappointed but upon further research I realized the T1i was actually $849, on sale! I'm not sure how I missed that detail, but I was wondering if there were any other DSLR cameras with 'movie' mode preferably from $500-600. Thank you in advance.


Answer
No DSLR's with movie mode for that price!. I will give you some advice though.. Buy a DSLR for it's photo taking qualities, not video. It may surprise you to learn that video in DSLRs is utterly crap!, that's right.. just plain and simple crap.

That money would be far better spent on a quality semi-pro model, or a higher end entry level. The T1i is just an entry level camera, at a semi-pro price. I personally think the price that Canon are charging for it is disgusting.

The Nikon D90 would be a better buy, you have a much better camera than the T1i and your video mode (albeit it is pretty crap!).

Answer
HD camcorders & DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi processor computer with the big Graphics and sound cards that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files a HD camcorder produces.

Consumer level HD camcorders & DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.

MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video.
