That way you can change the aperture (recommended) or shutter speed, and as long as ISO is "AUTO", it will still expose the shot properly for you. If you also select a specific ISO value, then you have to manage the exposure manually. Quote:

This is because virtually all DSLRs use very slow and hunty autofocus mechanism in LiveView mode. This method is called "contrast detection" and involves the focus over-shooting the focus point, and hunting back and forth a bit before locking focus. Not the ideal way to focus on something for viewers. cya R PS - The just-launched Canon 650D uses "phase detection" instead, which lets the camera know exactly to what point it needs to focus the lens, and the STM (stepper) lens focuses right to that point. I've not used this as yet. | |

| Re: DSLR Video Discussion Just the kind of thread I was hoping I would stumble across. I need some advice. Considering how much DSLR video technology has advanced espeically now that quite a few top ends being used as second cams for movies and even as primary for music videos, I am looking to buy a decent budget DSLR with decent but robust video shooting capabilities. I am looking to do some product reviews with the DSLR. Indoor closeup shooting. Since it will involve upclose shooting, quick AF is important. I would need atleast a robust 1080p 30FPS. I wouldn't mind even if it can do 60FPS  It would go a long way if it can offer a mic input.Also, I need some help in getting some budget light screens. Where I can get them and what I can expect in terms of pricing. As a rule of thumb, I am looking for a DSLR that can offer the best bang for the buck. Not necessarily cheap ones but the cheapest robust one ofcourse! Thanks in advance. Last edited by Cyrus_the_virus : 3rd February 2014 at 11:05. |

Next to the full frame options I believe canon 70D stands top of the line in budget models if you are looking for faster AF but the downside it supports only 7fps. Other moderate option would be settling for 7D that goes up to 29.x fps and close to your expectation. Both 7D and 70D are 19AF points system so relatively better performance for video shooting. Since you have mentioned it indoor production and controlled shooting environment you can take Canon 50mm f/1.4 and Rokinon Cine 35mm T/1.5 (manual focus) in a small budget to shoot great videos. If your shooting involves wider angle shots checkout other cine lens range from Rokinon if budget is constraints otherwise go for the huge canon lineup of lenses (L is preferred if you are looking for photo and video purposes, just for video L lenses may not be required as the motion in video will anyway override your image sharpness requirements) I'm not very attracted to the inbuild microphone of 5D MKIII itself, so the only option would be considering a external shotgun mic if pointed polarity or a stereo microphone for ambient noise. You will be also requiring a field recorder like juicedlink or tascam DR60D for recording multiple tracks and headphone monitoring options. I did quite a lot of investigation and checked with pro shooters before dcreating my rig for a upcoming documentary production and settled with Canon 5D MKII and GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition(plus 2 other Canon 5D MKIII on rental basis) Here are some ballpark figures for price tag from US(Please consider India grey market or dealer price with tax for actual pricing of your need): 1. Canon 5D MKIII - $3000 2. Canon 7D - $1500 3. Canon 70D - $1200 4. Juicedlink - $300-$400 5. Tascam DR60-D - $300-350 6. Rode videomic pro -$220 (Camera mounted) 7. Rode stero video mic pro - $300 (Camera mounted) 8. Rode NTG-3 shotgun (requires phantom power and pointed polarity) - $600 9. Canon 50mm f/1.4 - $350 10. Rokinon 35mm T/1.5 - $400 Since your are talking about music video, I believe you will have a rerecording of your audio in the post production and if you only opted to use the in build mic for reference, you can ignore the mic and field recorders. Anish George from Kerala got good deals on the photography products and you can search him in facebook and interact with him for better pricing. Good luck with your project.
