Contrast detection vs phase detection for movies?
I'm looking at buying a DSLR camera, and I'm mostly looking at the Nikon D5100 and the Canon EOS 650D (or Canon Rebel T4i in USA). I will mostly be using it for movies, but also for photos as well. I see that the Nikon camera has contrast detection, whereas the Canon camera has phase detection. I have heard that phase detection is better, but I really don't know much about cameras yet.
Could someone please explain the difference between contrast detection and phase detection for movies, and which one would be better, to someone who is an amateur with cameras?
