Unless there are very specific reasons not to do so. While I understand that someone starting from the ground may look at the options from the Mirrorless systems available, someone that has been using DSLRs all their life may well want to keep using them.

For a photographer transitioning into video but still keeping a foot in each area, it probably makes sense to find solutions within the brand used, as they are usually available. This means a huge investment in lenses and other accessories, that can’t simply be thrown out every time a new camera from another brand comes to the market. When I absolutely need it, I will carry one or more extra bodies.īuying into a system is something photographers have done for years, and although some do change from one brand to another, many stay within the same system all their life. My own experience as led me to search for such a solution, so I can just wander around with a single camera that will do both things.

Finally, as is my case, although we can carry multiple cameras, many times the ideal solution is to have one camera that does both things, so you have to carry less gear round. Because of that dual function, it also makes sense, when writing about DSLRs, to refer their functionalities both for photography and video, as usually those using them – a lot of people, and a growing segment of the market, it seems – use the cameras both for stills and video. For many photographers, video became an extension of their work, and if they keep doing both, it probably makes sense to use a DSLR. Investing in systems that go nowhere means throwing money out of the windowĪlthough some people suggest that DSLRs as video cameras are going to be a thing of the past, the truth is that DSLRs are here to stay, as many photographers still prefer to use them in their photography, and by extension in their video. I am glad it is so! The market is filled with multiple promises that never turn into something real and viable. Not to speak about all those who bought Lytro cameras, following the excitement of magazines and websites that wrote the days of classical photography were gone and we did not need to focus any longer. Another example, although not video related, is the modular system from Ricoh. Customers that bought into the system are now left without a forward path and need to start looking in a new direction. Then they were going to be number one in a segment of photography, then another, and another again, and more recently, they simply quit the market. A good recent example is Samsung, that entered the market some years ago, first in photography and in association with Pentax, declaring they were going to be number one in a couple of years. That’s something that is still found under some brand names coming from the photographic market and missing in others. Consistency may be a good reason for that choice.

The continuous update of models suggests they may be wrong…īefore we go ahead, though, its maybe a good idea to correct some misunderstandings and, from my point of view, wrong ideas people have about DSLRs in general and the reasons why people by one system instead of another. But this new listing points to some of the newest models and choices available for those who are searching for options in a market segment some consider is a dying breed.

This new list continues a first one I did for Pro Video Coalition in 2014, and which can still be used if you’re looking for a second-hand DSLR for video. While the market offers nowadays multiple other options, for many users DSLRs are still the way to go, so it makes sense to compile a listing of the REAL DSLRS available in the market. Here is a compilation of some of the best. In 2016, the list of DSLRs able to shoot video continues to grow. The launch of the EOS 5D MK II, in 2008, changed the landscape and allowed more and more people to start exploring with moving images. Some say it was by mistake, but the truth is that Canon created the trend of using DSLRs for video.
