im looking for a great camera that takes great pictures and can record hd video for a good price any help would be appreciated!


Answer
The best brand for video is Panasonic, JVC, Sony and Canon for under $5,000

After that you are looking at 4K cameras, like the Red One and ARRI ALEXA.

What you may be looking for is a dSLR that also happens to have a video feature.

Look at the Canon 60D and Nikon D7000, both cost less than $1,500 but you will have to add some rather expensive accessories to make them work as an actual video camera.

In the P&S arena, cameras made by almost all camera makers have both HD and Full HD video available depending upon your budget.

NONE will auto focus however

Do you think DSLRs are good for filming?

I just want to see what people's opinions are about using DSLRs to shoot films/tv shows. I know House MD did it. And a lot of youtubers/film festival entrants are switching to filming using these: do you think they hold the same quality when compared to camcorders of the same brand?


Answer
Not if you are serious.

NOTE: You cannot shoot film with a digital camera, only video.

There is a temptation to compromise and buy an all in one camera for shooting both video and still shots.

Here is the problem.

When you add the cost of making a dSLR into a viable video camera, you could have purchased a real one, one with gen-lock and time coding among other things.

Yes, some video production companies use Canon and Nikon dSLR's capable of shooting video ("House" shot one episode using a Canon 5D, Mark II and Dexter is shot using a Nikon D series camera). The thing that makes a dSLR a great second video camera is its size. You can get it into tight spots a full video camera cannot. They also can provide the director selective depth of field usually only found on 35 mm motion picture cameras and the new 4K video cameras.

But again, what will it cost you to turn a Canon 5D, Mark III or Nikon D800 into a usable video camera?

The most popular video cameras used by production companies are the Panasonic, JVC, Sony and Red One brands.

When I am asked to shoot video, I rent a proper video camera.

If I am just goofing around, I use my tiny Nikon V1 to shoot Full HD video. It is just fine for a hobbyist or student learning how to shoot from scripts, but have no plans to distribute the resulting video.

If you are shooting serious videos, then you need to look at a 3-CCD video camera or even a 4K video camera
