Buy DSLR or not... video conundrum?

airdogspac

I had a SLR camera back in 2003-2005 around that time... it was just a basic one. I took a photography class in college and even developed my own film and so forth. I sold it in 2005 and bought a little more advance point and shoot camera but it still allowed me to control shutter speed and so forth.

its not 2013 and my 5 mpx Camera is just to old. I thought when I got a new cell phone with a 8mpx camera I would need camera really any more. But my Nexus 4 camera, is fine, but not really what you use to take pictures.

The problem is as my camera got older I started to use it less and less.

I thought of buying a new camera. I liked some of the features of the Nikon D5200. But I have a hard time justifying spending that much on a camera I might not use much.

I also wanted the camera to take good video.

I bought a refurbished canon HD Camcorder a couple of years ago. It works fine, bought a bigger battery and so forth. I thought of selling this (for around $200) to justify buying the D5200. I just don't know if the D5200 is going to have as good of video. I know it won't be able to record video for as long... (I don't know if I can by an extended battery for the D5200, I guess just buy two batteries).

What to do?
I guess I can't edit it... the point and shoot camera I bought was a Digital one.

Answer
nikons are horrible for taking professional quality videos, it keep resetting itself to auto and the ISO indicated is always wrong. If you want a great DSLR ill go for the canon D500 or D550 the D600 is also nice but I dont think its totally worth the price it has the exact same video quality as the D550. I am currently in film school and DSLR takes about the same quality videos then the film school's professional camera's that cost ten times as much the only difference the DSLR is a bit more tricky when working depth of veld.

I can't tell you much of the still images, as i am more into the film part then the actual photography. but i am desperately saving up to buy my own DSLR,

How to Transfer to Computer?

Okay, so I'm really new to recording, and I bought a condenser microphone, a phantom power supply, the cord, nice headphones and a music recording program called MAGIX Music Maker 2013, and I was wondering on how do I plug my microphone into my computer? None of the plugs in my computer match that of the three-pin cable that is meant for the microphone. I'm just so confused and any advice on what I should get, what you have that works for you, etc, would be great.

Thanks in advance, Dakota Day Roberts

Answer
You need an adapter, probably like the one "MONO Balanced XLR mic to Stereo Camcorder mic in (1/8 inch mini-phone)" in the source. The 3 pin XLR mic connecter and microphone is usually wired as balanced, while the computer 1/8" jack is unbalanced type input, so you need an adapter. Easier to just buy one, source 2.

help to buy entry level DSLR?

best camcorders to buy 2013 image

Hi Folks,

I am much interested in photography since my childhood. But till I was using Canon A3100 Point and Shoot camera.

I am willing to buy an entry level DSLR as I am an amateur. I googled much but arrived in a confusion. I have shortlisted 2 models. Please suggest the best one.

1) Canon 600 D - heard many positive reviews, but lens cost is more and there is no auto focus in video mode.

2) Sony SLT A58 - heard that lens costs cheaper. But is it rare in market ? I think auto focus in video mode is available.

Answer
Actually Canon has some great value priced lenses. Sony has limited line up of lenses and they are normally expensive.
Here is an article that should help you with your first DSLR purchase:

Also, don't buy a camcorder for video as one answerer suggested unless you don't care much about quality. With a right lens, an SLR will take much better video than any consumer grade camcorder. With SLR you can do selective focusing but a camcorder will give you flat videos- everything always in focus. Here is another read for you:

Whats better the canon gl1 or the canon gl2?

Victor

whats a better camera for filming the gl1 or gl2

Answer
Victor, as with all things in life, there is no such thing as "better" without qualifications.

Neither camera is good for filming since neither camera shoots film.

Neither camera is good for professional video.

Both cameras are adequate for upper end consumer grade video.

The GL1 is better if you're on a budget and can't afford a newer GL2.

Both cameras are pretty much dinosaurs though since they only shoot in Standard Definition and record to tape. All new camcorders worth buying shoot at least High Definition and record to flash memory of some type.

When I was in college from 1999-2003, we got about 10 Canon GL2's when they were brand new and as a one of the people who was in charge of maintaining them, I found that they broke constantly (particularly the plastic mount around the tripod socket and head/tape transport issues) and did poor white balance. On the good side, they performed well in low light and the built-in audio, though not XLR was very clean. Overall though, unless someone is giving you one now, I hardly think they're worth buying as they are going to be on their last legs in 2013.
