Cutter
Looking to get into making short films and various videos. I'd like to have a camera with a decent lens with lots of options and adjustments that can be made. As well, I'd like to have the option to shoot still images.
Something modular would be excellent.
Budget: Around >$800
Answer
Short film is correct, with the issue DSLR cameras have with overheating in under 20 minutes and shutting down till they cool down, several hours or a day later. And that issue applies to all DSLR cameras, shooting video.
HD camcorders & DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder or DSLR Camera inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders & DSLR Cameras produce.
Consumer level HD camcorders & DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by Consumer Level HD camcorders & DSLR Cameras . 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording Consumer Level HD camcorder & DSLR Cameras , results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer Level HD camcorders & DSLR Cameras all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some Consumer Level HD camcorders & DSLR Cameras . No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders & DSLR Cameras or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video.

DSLR cameras.?
Kay A
I am a 15 year old amateur want-to-be photographer. After 3 years of using point-and-click cameras to take photographs, and after several months of consideration and days of research, I've decided I want a DSLR camera.
Money is one factor, of course, but I don't want to sacrifice too much quality for it. Definitly looking under $900, though. Some things I definitely want, prioritized from most important to not as important, include:
Good color (!)
Low noise at high ISO settings (!)
High image quality (!)
Image stabilization (!)
High maximum shutter speed
Fast autofocus
Large buffer
Quick startup time
I've already researched a few cameras, including:
Canon xTi (pretty good for the price)
Olympus E-510 (wasn't really impressed)
Sony DSLR-A100 (this was okay)
Canon EOS 40D (really impressed, but pretty expensive)
Basically, what are the best DSLR cameras with the most features- for the price?
BTW: I'm not interested in becoming PRO soon, I just want a great camera to capture life's arts (:

For some reason, you did not check out the other pro camera makers entry level DSLR, Nikon (Canon is the other)
Look at the Nikon D60 with 18-55mm VR lens and the Canon XSi (450D) with 18-55mm lens. Hold them both in your hands and see which is the easiest for you to use and navigate through the menus.
