Hi guys. I am looking for a DSLR camera that has 1080p 60fps video recording capability. ISO range is between 100 - 6400 at least. My budget is under $1000. A compact DSLR is fine as well. Thanks!
Answer
There are no DSLRs with 1080p with 60fps. I would definitely recommend the Nikon D7000. Alot of people are suggesting Canon Rebel T3i here but trust me there are alot of reasons why you should consider D7000 instead. I'll list them for you;
--Significantly lower noise at high ISO
--Much better image quality
--Many more focus points
--Much more dynamic range
--Much better color depth
--Much larger viewfinder
--Much longer battery life
--Many more cross-type focus points
--Continuous video focus
--Much less startup delay
--Much better viewfinder coverage
--Video autofocus
--Shoots faster
--Has a pentaprism viewfinder
--Larger sensor
--Less shutter lag
--Weather sealed
--Has more storage slots
--Better boost ISO
--Much faster max shutter speed
--Slightly more lenses available
--Slightly thinner
I believe when one is spending such a huge sum of money all these things must be considered. Both are absolutely great brands but particularly among these two cameras, Nikon wins. I suggest you read this detailed review to get into the details of this camera:

I've looked around and this is the best price i could find for it:

Best of luck. Hope i helped. :)

Which nikon digital camera is better?
Grecia Sal
I really want to get a new (expensive) digital camera. You don't even know how many cheap cameras i've gone through out my life. I want higher quality pictures. I travel (not all the time but frequently). I would luke to capture some memorable memories in HD. Lol i don't really want an over the top expensive director/photographer kind of camera but I want the Nikon J1. I like its physical apearance and buying it won't hurt my wallet that much. But i want to know if its a, not just good but, great camera for what i want. Whats the difference between the J1 and J2? Which one's better? And thanks for your answer, i will appreciate it greatly
Answer
The quality of the Nikon 1 series falls somewhere between a DSLR and Compact camera. It is an intermediate camera I suppose, and the sensor size is also between a DSLR and Compact.
Some people have bad things to say about the Nikon 1, but you will usually find they have never used one, so they are relying on internet lore to base their opinion on. If you look at the DxOMark ratings, this camera is on par with most of the M4/3 cameras, which is quite a feat given the camera's sensor is slightly smaller (but then again, Canon APS DSLRs have smaller sensors than Nikon DSLRs do - an no one complains about that).
I own a Nikon V1, and it is a really good camera for the price I paid for it ($299 last Dec). While I would never have paid the MSRP of $899, which I agree was over priced - $299 was cheap enough for me to try it. And I am glad I did. I own a couple of Nikon DSLRs, and the V1 is a backup for them.
The fast focusing of the Nikon 1 is faster than most, if not all DSLRs. And with the incredible 60fps continuous shutter (notwithstanding whether or not you need such a feature) is not found on any other camera.
The worst performance aspect of the Nikon 1 is the low light capability - but it is average; better than a compact camera, but not as good as a DSLR.
While the V1 is no longer available, the V2 is the current camera.
There is not a lot of difference between the J1 and J2, so I would pick the least expensive of the two - you will not notice any difference. Basically, the J2 was just a minor update to the J1. The J3 however is a different camera, and has a higher megapixel count, and the anti-aliasing filter has been removed - to improve sharpness.
Even then, out of all of the currently available cameras, I like the V2 the best as it has an electronic viewfinder. This means you can hold onto the camera close to your face, and support it better. Having to hold a camera at arm's length just introduces blur due to your inability to hold the camera steady.
I do have to make one thing known though. You are paying a premium for the compact size of the Nikon 1 - as you are with any of it's competitors; M4/3, NEX, etc. That premium is in the form of the convenience of a small package. Once you buy several lenses (they are all interchangeable cameras), they are not any less expensive than a DSLR, and a DSLR is going to be better.
You can easily spend over $1,000 after you buy a few lenses.
If you are looking at buying one of the Nikon 1 cameras, understand they come with a 10-30mm kit lens. Other lenses are available. One of the more popular lenses is the 30-110mm, which combined with the 10-30mm, gives you a respectable 11x of coverage.
However, the 30-110mm lens is $250, and they are in short supply due to high demand. My advice, if you decide to buy a Nikon 1, is to look for the 2 lens kit - which includes both the 10-30mm and the 30-110mm lens. The 2 lens kit is only $100 more - so you end up saving $150 vs. buying the second lens separately.
And if you buy a camera in one of the colors other than White or Black, you can only get a matching color 30-110mm lens in the 2 lens kit. This I think was done so retailers don't have to stock 6 different colors for each lens.
