[QUOTE="ScottinPollock, post: 480481, member: 40111"] Yes and no. They certainly handle better, with much better image stabilization. The auto-focus still overshoots (even in pro level camcorders), but to no where near the level seen in DSLRs. Using a DSLR for vid is all about quality. You'd have to dump several grand on a camcorder to approach the same video quality of even a D3300. I am not talking about resolution; but the look, the cleanliness, the depth, color range, exposure range. Oh it does, but it often lies in modes other than M (which was the main reason for the OP). For instance, if lighting situations require a shutter speed of less than 1/25 for proper exposure, less than 1/25 is displayed (which is false). Same is true for ISO if auto ISO is off. Camera is clearly adjusting it, but there is no indication of that on the display. Also in A mode (and here is where your D800 differs), where you can adjust the aperture with the command dial and see the display change values, but any changed values will not be used in movie recording until you exit from LV and return. Nikon has had many years to get this right, and I find it inexplicable that the user experience is still so poor. However my experience over the years with their software offerings and (now highly marketed) WiFi capabilities don't fall far from this tree. They are either incompetent or they simply don't care (unfortunately, I suspect it is the latter). [/QUOTE]
