Which dslr is best for video?
I"m really into shooting movies and i want to know which dslr i should buy. I want the one that's best for video.
Nikon d7000
Nikon d5100
Canon 7d
Canon 60d
Canon t3i
Panasonic gh2
And why?
I also want it to have good image quality in photography
I suggest get a video camera separately if video is a prime concern of yours. Simply put, a camcorder will do video much better than a similarly priced camera.
the 7D costs $1700 for the body only. Once you add a couple of lenses, you are looking at around $2500+ (including tax and everything)
with that money you can look at the 60D or T3i, both of which have the same sensor as the 7D and pretty much the same options. The only big difference is build quality and weather sealing. Then, use the rest of the money on a nice prosumer video camera. Or even go with the Canon Rebel T3, which is $550, and use $2000 to get a panasonic, sony, or canon camcorder with three sensors- even better for video.
From your list easily the Panasonic GH2, video is it's primary function. The D7000 will give you better image quality especially in low light, or you could go for the Pentax K5 which out performs it, but on these last two video is very definitely a secondary function.
Best for the video is Nikon d5100. Digital SLR Camera: It's About Time to Switch from Compact to Digital SLR! Find out Why visit this site http://d5100review.net
