[QUOTE="Tobrew, post: 56960, member: 9362"] I found that using your DSLR instead of a camcorder is good in theory but it is difficult in practice. I have trouble focusing, especially while looking at the LCD outdoors. You will find many viewfinders on the market to solve this problem. The auto focus on these sucks so you have to manually focus which is difficult to do while holding the camera. There are focus pullers on the market to aide in this task. Stability is a problem, a stabilizer would definitely make it easier but now you are carrying around a stabilizer. You end up adding so much crap on the camera it is just easier to use a camcorder. Especially for everyday and family stuff. However, if you are filmaking in a controlled environment and want a great DOF then a DSLR is the way to go. Just my 2 cents. You end up looking like this guy. [ATTACH=CONFIG]11241._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
