What is the best dslr (around 500-700) that shoots video?

I want to start shooting my short films with a dslr out of the convenience of being able to take pictures with it as well. Can't beat 2 for the price of one.

So even if I have to get a film only camera, having the dslr will help when on set.

I appreciate the help.

I visited the International Spy Museum for the Parade of Trabants. This was my first time actually seeing one. Very small car and even smaller motor. One of the owners told me that the engine only provides 18HP. Sounds like a snow mobile also. Full set at Flickr.

They made a Berlin wall for everyone to draw on.

I'd get the Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera and DIGIC 4 Imaging (Body Only)

and pair it with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens

(nifty-fifty) for portraiture, low-light shots, and a great shallow depth of field for a good value.

This question is for people that use NIKONS or edit with Aperture 3. What are the swirls on the wall? I find that it gets worse when I use 'devignette' setting while editing. Is this a camera issue or an editing issue. It is a bother and I don't know how to fix it. Would anyone like to fill me in? --NO BRUNO-- Thank you.

Bravo to your second to last shot Dunks R Nice.

I understand the pros and cons of both... Guess my question is does anyone use either of these lens with the 7D?

I ended up buying the 17-40/4.0L because I got it for a fair price. I'll share some photos sometime this weekend. A new year is around the corner any possibility of creating weekly/biweekly assignments in 2012?

word. count me in. too bad the assignment thing didnt go thru this year, i wanted to do that toy wizard thing...

weekly assignments? 52 weeks in a yr right? 52 assignments then. 52 bars come out, 52 cars roll out. if that's too many, then 26 assignments/biweekly.  it'd be ideal to make a list before it even starts to avoid laziness/dropout later on. should prolly make a "photog-weekly assignment" thread to keep it specific and keep this thread for the random image dumps we do. could eventually turn into an official nt photog team type deal, heavy contributors sport the sig. but as with anything, it'll only work if everyone participates...thoughts? discuss.



some abstract, all concrete:   <---- sounds like a team sig

what is the easiest way to fix[or avoid] color banding without degradation to the photo? Aperture 3 is what I use to edit images.

haahahh that lady looking at her ice cream!!
and nice shots of the city

 

[megatron]

I was hoping you guys could recommend me a camera. Or at the very least rank them in which ones you think are the best. Or even recommend something better.
I'm looking at

Canon G12
Leica D-Lux 5
Nikon 1 J1

I'm looking for an easy to use without having to mess with the settings too much.
Also important I want it to be very good with video and audio.
I'll be using the camera mainly at concerts, sporting events and social gatherings. Not much if any true photography.
