Are D-SLRs right for video?

Posted on October 15, 2009 by Jeffrey Buras

I’ve seen a few shoots around town using D-SLR cameras for video. UK cinematographer Philip Bloom has a rather thorough examination of Canon’s video-capable D-SLR cameras. The bottom line? D-SLRs aren’t going to replace video cameras just yet, but are useful for some shoots. If you’re aiming for a shallow depth of field, sometimes you’re just better sticking with and HD camera with an adapter. The article has a wealth of information about uses for these new cameras and can (hopefully) guide manufacturers in making the next generation of cameras.
5D or 7D? That is the question… [Philip Bloom]
