Sharkbait22 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've seen lots of truly great photos and video on OFC. I’m looking for any advice on which camera/movie camera (camcorder?) for a family Christmas gift. Looking for something no more than $1300. I have a 1998 Rebel SLR with two lenses (28-80 + 75-300) so it would be nice to be able to use these if possible. Also wouldn't mind someting wider e.g., 15-80. We want it for better quality stills and the ability to make some home movies. Any advice would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 My Canon 60D takes some pretty impressive 1080p video... With an external microphone the audio quality is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkbait22 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks for the tips. It seems DSLRs are becoming movie cameras in some ways. Based on my reading they typically cannot autofocus during the shoot and create big files quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
