The latest versions of this compare favorably with some of the best HD video camcorders in terms of resolution and video quality. The Canon 7D, 5D Mark II, and the Canon Rebel T2i all have a 1080p HD video mode capable of 24p and 30p (24 and 30 progressive frames per second).24p is the same framerate as motion picture film, so many indie filmmakers like to see this capability in either camcorders or these new digital SLR cameras.720p video is the same as regular HD on cable TV. Nikon SLRs as of this article can only do 720p video, but we expect them to catch up with Canon shortly.

This means less equipment to carry.The disadvantage to an SLR being used as a camcorder is that there are less dedicated buttons for camcorder use, and the ergonomics are different (how you hold a camcorder versus an SLR).

The producers shot the entire episode using Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR.The small size of the Canon camera provided the perfect solution, and its video was superb. The Canon SLRs were also used to film part of an episode of Numb3rs, driving scenes on the show 24, and the tonight show opening shot.

The mic can mount on the flash shoe on the top of the camera which is a perfect spot for better sound quality.

All in all the future is bright for these new SLRs and we can be sure that we will see better features in the future, and more use of these cameras to be used in TV show production as well as for home use.
