[...] Holy shit .... and that comes from a dSLR ? damn .... I suppose that technology has gotten much better since my nikon d40.
Yah I was pretty impressed too. In the market for a dSLR and gonna go with a D3100 and even that @ £400 inc a 18-55mm lens has 1080p HD recording just the autofocus takes a little time on fast moving objects. They have come on alot since the d40!]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14825&post=255826 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 22:19:39 +0100 Reply by Jonathan264 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14825/page-2/?recent=256409#post=255823 Quoted from lolage

[...] why would he want a stills camera ? They are really expensive and have bad video quality. He wants to capture video with a external microphone to get good sound . I would go with the handycam.
Not true. But if you want video I would look into the 7D or 5DmkII.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14825&post=255786 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 19:16:34 +0100 Reply by Jonathan264 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14825/page-1/?recent=256409#post=255783 Quoted from Steve
Canon 500D: http://www.hdtvnieuws.nl/images/Canon-500D.jpg http://www.hdtvnieuws.nl/images/Canon-500D-achterkant.jpg or Canon 550D: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos550d/ Both can record video and take pictures at extremely high quality 'professional' photographers use these type of cameras to take pictures, recently they've added a recording feature with amazing quality (the 500series, like I posted) and cause of the design you'll have more steadiness than a normal 'handycam'

dSLR is the way to go yeah... Canon 7D has external mic support and tbh I think it looks better than even a Sony PWM-EX3 for instance (a semi-pro videocamera costing ~6000 GBP or something). Together with a decent multifunctional lens it will cost you about 1200gbp maybe? Maybe cheaper even, didn't check actual prices. Way pricier than you originally stated, but you'll have something which is quite future proof and beats all video cameras in its price class.
But isn't that a bit overkill for what he wants? He stated it doesn't have to be the best HD out there just good enough for his business, therefore a cheaper dedicated camcorder should be the best route..?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14825&post=255766 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 17:36:49 +0100 Reply by skeej https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14825/page-1/?recent=256409#post=255765 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14825&post=255765 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 17:34:21 +0100
