Re: t2i video advice

My 2 cents. If you're only concerned about keeping things in focus I'd say go with the video camera route. I have an HV 40 and love shooting with it.

It had autofocus which is great for quick shooting. And when you want to get fancy you need an irv wheel ($50) to make focusing easier.

This camera uses tape which is great if you're out on the rave track you just have to pop in a tape instead of download footage. You just need extra batteries.

The camera doesn't overheat.

And you'll want a wide angle lens Raynox 6600 is one people love. I have the WD43 which I like.

Of you use a wide angle lens you'll need a lens hood. You can order the xa-1 lens hood and be ready to go.

I love this video camera. But now Im doing less run & gun stuff and had to get a Dslr.

But you can't go wrong with an HV40.
