Ready to join the video revolution and shoot Hi-Resolution Videos with a DSLR? Here’s a look at key cameras in this fast-growing and rapidly-evolving category.
Point-and-shoots with HD video recording have been around, with Kodak kickstarting this trend back in late 2007. The history of DSLRs with high-def movie capture, however, is a slightly shorter one, with the Nikon D90 taking the lead in 2008. Its thunder was soon stolen by the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, which boasts a 35mm full-frame sensor and 1080p-quality video recording.
HD Video is the buzzword of the day. Nearly every DSLR introduced over the past two years has it, but the image quality, resolution, compression scheme and other factors vary greatly from brand to brand, and even from camera to camera within a brand. Let’s take a look at top models as well as up-and-coming new HD-enabled cameras and see which ones make sense for you.
 |
| HD is usually used to indicate 720p where the frame resolution measures 1,280 x 720 pixels. Full-HD refers to 1080p and the frame resolution is 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. |
The fact that DSLRs employ much larger image sensors than compacts gives the former a huge advantage when it comes to video capture. Videographers are able to achieve more cinematic effects with shallow depth-of-field. The multitude of lenses available for each system also means that filmmakers have more flexibility when it comes to framing shots. Film studios have since explored using DSLRs for recording shows.
Why go with a DSLR rather than a smaller camera? First, you get access to the vast array of lenses available for each brand's system and if you already own a stills-only DSLR, upgrading to a video-capable model makes sense. Most MILCs are not compatible with DSLR lenses without an adapter.
Popular DSLR Cameras for HD Filmmaking:
1.Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Around 1.20 lac
The Skinny: If the Nikon D90 was the pioneer of HD Video, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II is the refinement that brought DSLR Video recognition as a serious tool for pro video production work. The first DSLR to offer full 1080p resolution, the 5DMII has been embraced by more videographers than any other DSLR. And with a 21.1MP CMOS full-frame sensor, it’s not too shabby when it comes to incredibly high-resolution still photography.

14. Panasonic Lumix GH1
The Skinny: The GH1 is actually a Micro Four Thirds camera, not a DSLR, and uses an electronic viewfinder rather than an internal mirror/prism assembly. Consequently video is much easier to implement and this shows in the superior video specifications of the GH1.Video Specs
Recording full 1080p HD at 24fps, or 720p at 60fps in AVCHD mode, it can also shoot in the Motion JPEG format at 30fps if you prefer, in a range of sizes up to 720p. The built-in mic is Dolby Stereo, and there's a 2.5mm port for an external mic, such as Panasonic's own hotshoe mic, or a third-party model (for which you'll need a 2.5-3.5mm adaptor).
