Cinematography: To DSLR or not to DSLR, That is the Question

To DSLR or not to DSLR, That is the Question cinematography

I've been reading a lot of articles and watching a lot of DSLR made videos and I must admit...I'm impressed. In weighing the pros and cons of DSLR's vs Prosumer grade camcorders the DSLR's come in as the underdog. For a fraction of the cost of an HD Prosumer grade camera you can produce beautiful footage that's truly comparable. What has been your experiences with DSLR's vs your Prosumer grade cameras? Please be specific.

So I've purchased the Canon 600D and been shooting with it on my short film production ,Roses Out of Concrete and I love it so far. I agree with a lot of what people have been saying and the glass makes the camera. From what I can see, with proper grading dslr's can do the trick for LOW BUDGET...

Hi - Thanks for sharing all of this information about your experiences with DSLR filmmaking. Keith - I am also considering using the T31. Has anyone used the Nikon D7000 for filmmaking? How are you guys handling your audio?
