OT: End of Prosumer Camcorders???
by Brian Pitt on Oct 30, 2009 at 3:21:02 pm

I work as a videographer/editor for a mid-sized corporation. I produce multiple training/marketing videos primarily shot with Sony HDV V1U camcorders.

The photographers in my department recently let me play around with their Canon 5d Mark ii. I had no idea that the camera shot 30fps Full HD video. I was still skeptical until I actually tried it out. The image quality BLEW what I have been producing out of the water. I took some of the footage I shot into Color and was able to get so much more out of the footage because of how much more color I was working with.

The most intriguing part of the footage was the shallow depth of field I was able to get. Canon just released the 7d that is supposed to be able to shoot 60fps Full HD on it's next firmware release.

Granted, these cameras have their limitations, but a big plus is that they have an audio in jack. with a small mixer or an H4 recorder...you can work around this.

Do Canon/Panasonic/Sony prosumer camera even stand a chance with the advancements in SLR technology?

Brian
