DSLR Techniques--Strengths and Limitations (#5)


DSLR Techniques: Strengths and Limitations

Strengths:
1.     Great cinematic look of video
2.     Have ability to use zoom and prime lenses
3.     Lightweight and easy to hold compared to cameras like the JVC, EX3, and Sony HDV
4.     Has a Manual mode
5.     Small enough to fit on many different things like a fig rig, dolly, etc.

Limitations:
1.     Not the fastest lens in the world—less light comes in
2.     Camera is made for photographs first, so you must study the camera to know what the camera can do with video.
3.     Only the 5D shoots in full frame, the 7D and T2i are not.
4.     Doesn’t have audio options like an XLR outlet
5.     Sometimes racks focus because something is too close to fully focus on.
