And that's the problem with these new crops "HDSLRs" They are basically still cameras photo "happens to have a" video image sumptuously future if used right. But the problem is that everything else about these cameras is totally different from what professionals are used for a proper camcorder such as the EX3. You must therefore "Pimp it up" with a bit of gear to transform into a beast of burden actually usable video.If you're completely new to digital cameras and film in general, you should definitely invest in:
lenses, batteries, memory cards, craft sound recording, a tripod / monopod, a magnifying tool to allow you to judge really focus on the screen, a variable ND filter and a platform for the shoulder pocket.For me, it is the chronological order in which I recommend to get these accessories with the most important summit.They are really important but you do not need to buy both. If you're serious about your movies with digital cameras, you will quickly realize that you need, and I bet most of it is on this list.
