The latest versions of this compare favorably with some of the best HD video camcorders in terms of resolution and video quality. The Canon 7D, 5D Mark II, and the Canon Rebel T2i all have a 1080p HD video mode capable of 24p and 30p (24 and 30 progressive frames per second).All of these Canon SLRs provide video at a 1080p or 720p video resolution. 1080p will give you full HD 1920×1080 at 30fps (blu-ray quality).720p video is the same as regular HD on cable TV. Nikon SLRs as of this article can only do 720p video, but we expect them to catch up with Canon shortly.
This means less equipment to carry.SLRs usually are held close to your face to see through the viewfinder, while camcorders are held in your hand away from your face and you view the video thru the LCD screen. (Most newer camcorders have done away with viewfinders).
The producers shot the entire episode using Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR.The small size of the Canon camera provided the perfect solution, and its video was superb. The Canon SLRs were also used to film part of an episode of Numb3rs, driving scenes on the show 24, and the tonight show opening shot.
If buying an SLR for video, it is most important to make sure that the SLR has a microphone jack. There are a lot of choices that will give you much better sound than the built in mic that is on the camera body.
All in all the future is bright for these new SLRs and we can be sure that we will see better features in the future, and more use of these cameras to be used in TV show production as well as for home use.
