Using your DSLR for video vs. a standard camcorder pros and cons. DSLR ADVANTAGES - Larger image sensor for better low light performance and shallow depth of field control - The 24fps for the "film" look - Use of interchangeable lenses DISADVANTAGE of DSLR - Rolling shutter effect due to CMOS sensor - Non user friendly interface not designed for video - Slower zooming and focus in video mode compared to camcorders - Inferior mics and audio recording compared to camcorders CAMCORDER ADVANTAGES - Smaller and lighter than DSLR - No rolling shutter in CCD camcorders - Faster auto focus and zooming than DSLR - Better designed ergonomics suited for video recording - Better audio and mics than DSLR - Longer wide to telephoto zoom range built in DISADVANTAGES of CAMCORDERS compared to DSLR - No "film" look in consumer grade camcorders - Smaller sensor which yields very little depth of field control - Low light performance not as good a DSLR Both formats are great choices, but for everyday recording requiring very little setup or gear goes to the camcorder. For the "film" look and low light performance and shallow depth of field control and bokeh goes to the DSLR. Ideal for the aspiring independent film maker on a budget. Low light and other bokeh and "film" look video clips shot with Nikon D7000 with 105mm F2.8 VR Macro lens.
