Most disadvantages of DSLRs due to hybrid nature of cameras at DVinfo.net

I've written up a new blog in which I am pondering about the fact that most real issues (aliasing, line-skipping) we have with video on DSLRs is purely because of the fact that they are hybrid cameras that should stills along with video.

HD video with DSLRs – The good, the bad and the ugly.Part 1: the bad & the ugly | Nino Film - Blog - Nino Leitner

Would love to get your thoughts on that!

I'll be writing up a follow-up on that shortly, dealing with the potential benefits this hybrid nature of the cameras could give us ...

Is it just me or with the exception of the sentences at the end of the article on the Panasonic, is to quote my teenage daughter . . . so last year?

Personally, rather than a re-hash of the weaknesses of video on DSLR, which have been well covered and were covered as far back as the famous posts on the Red forum (re: moiré). How about a positive slant and talk about the fact that these cameras have caused the manufacturers to think in new ways leading to the development of some exciting hybrids on the horizon. Or did the Red camera do that?

Let's get on with the future and look forward to talking about the hybrids. Hope they cost the same as the EOS range ;-)

With regards

Jeff

Thank you for bringing some sanity to the dSLR world. There are many, many filmmakers - new and not so new who have mistakenly thought these cameras to be their holy grail. Spot on.

I Watch the results of real world uses of the cameras, rather than listen to nay sayers and those that say "you can't".

On May 17, 2010, the final episode of "House" will air. It was shot entirely with the Canon 5D, according to the director. It should be a definitive day..
