A Good DSLR for me compared to the D3200?
So I'm looking for a better camera. Right now, I've been using a Canon ELPH 300HS, which has served me well. However, I'm planning on filming more "professionally", in both youtube videos and in my own little projects. From what I seen on Black Friday, the Nikon D3200 would be a great camera for me. The video quality seems to be superb, and overall, the general consensus is that it's the D3100 on steroids. I believe it also has a mic port and the ability to transfer files wirelessly to your computer.
One thing, however, is missing for my tastes. That is, super slow motion video capture. The D3200 seems to be an absolutely fantastic camera, and among the best available, even when going over it's actual price range. However, being able to shoot faster than my Canon 300HS's 240fps at 240p would be a big thing for me. I would like to into 500-600fps at a respectable resolution (360p?).
So, all things being similar, like great video, good pictures, autofocus. And all that good stuff, including wireless file transfer, that's pretty cool… What camera would give me the super slow motion video capture I need, and still compares well to the D3200?
Hope someone can help… Thanks!
If you want video, buy a video camera! You can get a great video camera for the same cost. And most of them can shoot stills as well.
If video is of paramount importance, go with a video camera.

The dSLR was never meant to do video. What you are after are digital camcorder specs. Look at full-featured camcorder models, not just the low-end ones. They would be significantly costlier than a dSLR but you get more video controls in return.
