I thought I had it all figured out. Buy a Canon HV40, a letus mini and a canon prime lens and boom I'm in business but then my world changed over once again.
Nikon brought out the first DSLR that can shoot HD video and then Canon, Sony and Panasonic. Filmmakers everywhere stood in awe of HD footage shot superbly with these DSLR models. They're not video cams. I was absolutely sceptically at first. I looked for all kinds of reasons why it won't work.
And then I investigated. What about Audio? Surely they would have crappy mono audio from the built in mic. But then the Canon 5D Mark II came with a stereo mic input to hook up an external stereo mic. Wow. So too did the Canon 7D. Damn.
But the memory can only shoot about 12 mins per card. thumbs down. And then the news broke in from the rumour mill on the net the Canon Rebel T2i the Successor of the Canon Rebel T1i is coming with cards capable of shooting up to 29 mins HD 1080p at 30 fames per second. Double damn!
I'm officially converted.
Did I mention the superb control of depth of field? Did I mention I get all that for $900 US for the Canon Rebel T2i?
Damn!
