Canon EOS 5D Mark II vs regular high-definition camcorder videos?
Hello, I want to make this quick and to the point. I have around 3k. I'm purchase of a camera and a camcorder.'m primarily a photographer, but I would be able to take some high quality video and stunning. My question is …. How I can get a Nikon D300 w / lenses to all 2300 and just pick a high-definition camcorder normal of about 700 …. Or is it just me Canon EOS 5D Mark II so you can use for video and photography. It seems that the video capabilities of the Mark II are better than their typical $ 700 camcorders HD … at least from what I've seen samples of scholars, and youtube in high definition.
The video cameras are producing all the commitments and only features to try to help sell more cameras. Trying to compare the results of what you see on YouTube are not giving an excellent HD camcorder just look. If you look at the requirements of video file, you will see that any uploaded image quality has been reduced by whatever the original version and then there is also the question of the powers of these posts shooter videos. It is very important to understand that there are actually some very big differences between a DSLR still adequate and camcorders. They are very different designs and workflow is also very different. While the two DSLR that includes some videos are excellent cameras to take stills and their ability to produce professional quality still images, video capabilities are not the same level as even $ 350 video cameras. Trying to add a video camera is like trying to contain choice of four-wheel drive of a Corvette or other sports cars … and then wait to go off through with it some weekends and race as a production sports car on a track in SCCA in other weekends. You will be much happier with something like a Sony DCR-HC62 mimi-DV (less than $ 300) or even a Sony DCR-SR87 HDD camcorder. The Sony HD camcorders, costs more than $ 750. HDR-XR100. The JVC GZ-MG365B at $ 600 or Panasonic HDC-HS100K $ 700 (this would be my choice) or Canon VIXIA HG10 HD, $ 750 a Nikon D300 in combination with an anterior chamber will serve much better than buying a compromise, no matter what you pay for.
