Just my opinion, if you're going to shoot video a lot, buy a HD Camcorder, it'd be cheaper IMO
Sure thing. Can you point me the way to the nearest HD camcorder with 36x24mm sensor and f/1.4 lenses for control over depth of field and shooting at ISO 6400? The $200,000 Sony cameras and $20,000 RED ONE don't count because they're too small: only 24x15mm.
So far the only alternative I can find is the $300,000 Phantom, but I don't have that kind of money.
Video is the reason why they can't keep the 5D2 on the shelf even 9 months after release: filmmakers are buying too many of them.
