Article "Saving History", so I wanted to make it seem like this E21 was leaving the B+W shot (or past), and coming into the present:

Been playing around with my SB600 and pocket wizards, I really want to get some stands, more pocketwizards, and more flashes, to work on my technique. To make due, I've simply been using the one sb600 and taking multiple shots, each area (left front, center, right front) in shots like this to get some more light on dark cars. Then photoshopping them together afterwards. Police car was rolling by at the time I shot one of the exposures, so I thought I'd keep him. I like this shot.

Yes the D7000 is a good camera, but I might go for the D600 if/when its released, that is as long as its not geared toward video the way the D800 and D4s are.
WillOriginally posted by Silverdogz View PostI really like the D7000, it is a great camera. But I HATE trying to take videos on it. I have the extra power pack attached which has a portrait shutter button which I really like. Plus I don't think that a camera should be a camcorder.
Originally posted by BlackbirdM3 View PostI will still always use a real video camera for shooting video, not a DSLR. To shoot video, you need a full tripod so weight has nothing to do with it. Hand held video will always be crappy.
I tried using the D7000 on my camera mount in the car. It was an epic fail. It was no better than my point and shoot that I use for autoX in the car (Yeah it sucks but I don't have to worry about breaking it.)
Yes, I know movies have been shot with Cannon DSLRs, however every review I've read pretty much states that Nikons don't work well for video. I'll use the correct tool for the right task. SLRs for stills, video cameras for video.
Hell, I'd continue to shoot film if it weren't such a pain in the ass. Its still superior to digital when it comes down to image quality.

This guy... hah
You put a dSLR on a 'camera mount' and ran an Auto-X... what do you think would happen? Use a GoPro. It's made for that type of stuff. You say use the right tool for the job... I assume you had a large rig to mount the camera for Auto-X? Right?
This has to be just some trolling.

I mounted a Sony video camera on the same mount and got good sound and great video (except for the fact that it freaked out and shut off after 10 minutes on the track on one of the sessions.) Video cameras are for video, SLRs are for stills. Simple as that. I don't care how much you argue with me, I'm not changing my opinion.

Originally posted by BlackbirdM3 View PostNope, not trolling. I didn't do an autoX with it, I just went down the street. I've got a real camera mount (I/O Port roll bar mount.) I'm not impressed with the Go-Pros either. The sound is always screwed up. The video is fine, but the sound is all wind noise or something. I've tried several different ones and they all have this horrible static, or just white noise/wind noise.

1.) My gopro, with no wind noise and sounding awesome.
$2 ebay microphone
and
AT Pro24/CM
2.) My T2i doing video. Indeed, SLR's are generally terrible for a driving video unless you have the right lens that is really wide (Like a video camera). HOWEVER! Here's my SLR doing great video at some pretty low light even. Obvious ISO grain on lake. But it was some pretty damn low light. It sure beats any video camera I have ever owned in terms of video quality hands down. It also does External microphones, so I can use my AT Pro24/CM on it. Mounted right on my hotshoe.
Y U NO VIMEO EMBED R3V? https://vimeo.com/47984536
AND! Fun fact. The T2i can even do full resolution pictures, while recording video, in 2 seperate files, with a slight 1 second delay in the video if your willing to sacrifice it. I accidentally left the Video AF ability on while doing this, but it gets the point across. Pause it at 0:07
And one of the images that was made while recording that video. At a resolution of 3154px*5186px
Not arguing, just putting those little tidbits out there. Gopro can sound great. DSLR's can do great video.
And some can take pictures, while doing video...Last edited by TurboJake; 08-21-2012, 10:44 PM.
