HD Video Quality :DSLR vs Compact Camera?

Zoheb

I want to know which one produces better Video Quality(in stills DSLR wins obviously). Let's say one has a the most advanced Compact camera with Full HD 1080 vs Nikon's or Canon's expensive (Canon D7100, Canon 60D). Sony compact Cameras(infact every Sony DSLR and camcorders) are Equip with AVCHD with 60p/60i Progessive Format Which is apparently Superior than .MOV and Mpg4 formats found on DSLRs. Also they only have frame rates including 24p/25/30p not 60p or 60i.

Rolling shutter Effect. It's true that Both The DSLR and Compact have this Problem, but which has more?
I saw some videos on Youtube DSLRs tend to over saturate colors when shot indoors with lights on.
And i also read that DSLR are not made for Videos and they are recently including Full HD options on them.Whereas Compact Cameras have video options from many years back.

Answer
All cameras that use CMOS sensors have this problem.

This is one of the reasons that professional quality video cameras use CCD sensors, the more advance one use 3-CCD's one for each colour, Red, Green and Blue.

What is a good Coolpix Nikon camera for action shots?

Courtney

I want to get a new camera, and i'd like it to be a nikon, or something similar. No SLR cameras, i need this one to be digital. However, my main goal and concern is i want something that is fast and good at capturing action or movement. Thanks so much for all of your help!

Answer
Why do want to limit yourself to Nikon? I believe that Sony makes great point-and-shoots while Nikon makes the best DSLRs. Take a look at the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V, its a fast camera, great for action shots. Has 16x optical zoom, 16.2 MP "Exmor R" CMOS sensor for superior low-light performance, full HD 1080/60p video, backlight correction; get details in difficult lighting and 3D stills and 3D sweep panorama mode. I highly recommend you read this review to aid in your decision:

Still if you wish to go with Nikon, the one camera i'd suggest is Nikon COOLPIX P500. Take a look for details and price here:

Best Camera Choice for my purposes?

0bviousMan

I'm pretty interested in film, have made a handful of short films myself, and collaborate with a friend on making feature length films.

I've been out of the game myself because I lack a really good camera. For a long time I was set on the Panasonic HMC150, until recently, when my friend (who owns a JVC ay-HD100) recommended getting a DSLR such as the Canon 7D.

But I'm still not sure what the best option for me is. Dedicated HD camcorder like the hmc150, or a DSLR with exceptional HD video.

I need a 60fps camera, any suggestions?

rodanm2004

I have a Nikon D3100 and a JVC everio HD camcorder. As far as i know they only shoot 30fps, I need a good 60 fps camera, any suggestions? or does anyone have suggestions for making proper slow motion shots with the cameras i have?i tried twixtor but it was confusing and apparently only works with 60fps. please help!.

Answer
I personally suggest DSLR because that's the best of one world and better of the other.

In case of SLRs, If you need a Canon 7D to get Full HD at 60 fps. Or, 60D or Rebel T2i/T3i for 60 fps at HD

Nikon D5100 for 60 fps HD

Twixtor is a good way of getting high fps. But it works on any framerate not only 60p!

And if you are really serious about Full HD videos and don't need photo or have another camera for taking pictures, then Look at the Panasonic TM-900. Canon XA10 or Sony NEX VG10 semi pro camcorders.
