Q. I would like to buy a DSLR because they're lighter than standard documentary video cameras like the Sony PD-170 and because I'd also like a camera that can point-and-shoot. I've heard that the Canon EOS Rebel T4i is the top of the line for recording video right now, but I'm wondering how true this is and how the video quality stands up to more traditional video cameras used in field work. Also, the T4i is sort of expensive, so I was wondering if anyone knew of slightly less expensive cameras that were of similar quality (though I realize that to some extent you get what you pay for). I've also heard that the 5D is the real top notch one, but that's way out of my price range. Any insight is greatly appreciated. I do mostly documentary work, half the time with a tripod.
A. instead of DSLR why do not you try any reputed HD camcorder
What kind of camera do i need to make Documentary films?
Q. What kind of camera would i need to buy to make Documentary films and what kind of price range am i looking at? I'm talking about broadcast quality.
I'd prefer to buy an actual camera that shoots HD rather than a video camera.
Thats all folks, thanks in advance :-)

A. This days, even basic camcorder footage is deemed adequate for mainstream features (e.g. the documentary/movie Catfish, which currently plays on HBO). If you don't want a *video* camera but but want a camera that you can get HD from, you must be looking for something along the lines of a 16mm film camera, right? 16mm is used for everything from commercials to blockbusters like Black Swan. Try to find a used Krasnogorsk-3 for around $200. You can have HD telecine done with your footage for about $300 per hour at a lab like Pro8mm. Please invest large amounts of time in research before you take any major steps. The cost of film adds up and therefore may not be appropriate for you.
