    Hi
    I’m looking to spend as close to $1,500 or under on a solid DSLR camera that can take great photos and will also perform well as a video camera for shooting landscape as well as people interactiion with eachother. I’m looking for a camera that has a good lens included with the camera,
    It should include 60fps as progressive for slo mo post editing. Another question i have is regarding the aparture. In most dslr specs i see it says f/3.4 to f/5.6 but i read a lot from people about them using a stopped down all the way down to f/22??? Is this some special feature or a very high end camera/lens??

    If you go to Canon consider the 5D mark III but, this may be out of your budget, used the Mark II for 6 years with a EF IS (image stabilized)28-135 mm at aperture 3.5 to 5.6 maximum aperture, but is very usefull through the whole range, the video is just stunning.Anything smaller has a sensor smaller than 35mm.

    Good luck
