I'm interested in hearing feedback from you guys regarding the new T2i and its viability as a video camera replacement for the "typical" video camera.
I've been looking at pulling the trigger on a replacement for my HG10 for a while now but just won't do it because I want a camcorder that controls DOF so I can get a more film-like look.
This camera looks like the magic link. I just can't imagine constantly shooting video with a camera in an SLR form-factor. I just can't imagine that it will "feel" comfortable and right doing so. Thoughts?
Things like this make you wonder why Canon hasn't pulled the trigger on a true pro-sumer camcorder with 35mm lens support. Surely this is right around the corner but I'm tired of waiting yet I hate to piss away another $800 on a camera only to see what I really wanted (a camcorder with camcorder feel with DOF and 35mm lens support) right around the freakin' corner. I feel like I'm waiting on somthing that just ain't ever gonna happen yet I know it "will". I just don't know when.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and insights.
Those of you not familiar, PLEASE take a look at the video posted here and I think you will be AMAZED: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xfEw2P6M10 Be SURE to change it to 1080p full screen and be prepared to be blown slam AWAY.
And the brief review posted here at Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/c...mode-collects/
Simply AMAZING, IMHO. I want one in a camcorder form factor and I Want it NOW. LOL
