Q. I know i want a Nikon or a Canon, but i just dont know which ones are the best. I want to be able to do some really good quality photography and i want to be able to use the same camera to make short films. Price really isnt a problem, but id probably like to stay under $600. But im kinda stuck on researching cause i dont know what cameras to look at. Thanks!
thanks! and yah i meant video, actual film is too expensive and confusing haha. but a camera that can take stills and shoot video with really nice quality is what i need. and ill be willing to spend more if its worth it.

A. When you say "Price really isn't a problem" and tell us you want to spend under $600, you put yourself in a corner.
First of all shooting video using a dDLR is NOT the best choice.

If you want to shoot video, you need to use a video camera. They are designed around producing video. A good 3-CCD video camera will cost about $5,000 or more
The two dSLR's that are known for being decent at shooting both stills and video are the Canon 5D, Mark III ($3,500 - no lens) or Nikon D800 ($3,000 - no lens) The D800 can capture uncompressed video if that is important to you.
As you can see, $600 is a tiny budget. My might be able to find a prosumer 3MOS video camera tht is close to your budget, but you will still need some kind of still camera.
Look at the Nikon D3200 and Canon T4i. They are entry level dSLR's and they have a video feature, but you still have to buy the necessary accessories to make it perform as a video camera.
Can we assume that you have a fast computer (at least a third generation Intel i5 CPU (i7 is better), 16 gb RAM and a handful of 2 tb drives and a good editing program? If not, you need to add another $3,000 to your budget

Best Film camera for beginner film maker?
Q. I'm a novice filmmaker and I need to buy a camera that shoots with a film-like quality for an independent film. Which is the best camera for me to buy?
A. Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes – four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video. Consumer level HD camcorders interpolate the video. This means they take one frame, make up the next 4 or 5 frames, take a frame and repeat this, over and over, for the remainder of the video, every video it takes is like this.With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.
You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You will need a firewire (IEEE1394) card ($25 to 30) for the computer and a firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.
