What is a good inspirational video?

What is a good video camera that can take good pictures as well. Should I go with the Canon 5D Mark III or 2?

  • I am look for a good camera that can shoot video, full HD and can be hooked up to a mic and supports a/v input.. I also whant it to be able to take good photos I really like yanking macro shots... What would be the best lense for that as well... It doesn't have to be the canon models.. But I am looking for a good video camera so I can make movies and videos and stuff.. And I want one the film at 60i so I can do a video that contains a smooth slow motion... Can I do these with these cams I have in the question or can you guys give me one that can do the same but maybe a bit cheaper, if not I can afford, I have been saving.

  • Answer:

    Yeah, A very annoying trend considering that a good DSLR takes way better video than any camcorder for under $2500. The canon 5D mk II is basically nothing more than a simple camera. What you are paying for with this is the awesome sensor, not performance. The mk III is the performer. The canon 7D and a 24-70 f/2.8L lens is gonna be your best package for video. With the constant 2.8 aperture across the focal length of this lens, the video will not go dark as you zoom in.

For video, you should buy an actual video camera/camcorder instead of a DSLR. This new trend of buying DSLRs for video purposes is annoying.
