DSLR or Camcorder for Video

[Suley Suleman]

Thanks Guys, i did consider what you say and thought in the long term i need something reliable in low light hence DSLR, i could get a lamp and the audio system you suggested however eventually im going to get the same issue with the video quality looking poor on certain shots and saying that at times were interviewing celebs i think it would be better if we invested. My plan is to get a DSLR and a decent lens and a microphone for now that would jack in to the cam and in a few months get the actual audio system. As for a jig for the cam at the min im thinking use the tripod we have as most are shots still at an angle. I was looking into the lens you suggested and read some good reviews which is great but it does not have any image stabilisation https://photography.shop.ebay.co.uk/Lenses-Filters-/78997/i.html?LH_BIN=1&_nkw=50mm%201.4&_trkparms=65%253A2%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_catref=1&_sc=1&_sop=2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=4 Any chance you can recommend any other model. Also im presuming a nicon lens wont fit on the canon or would i need to get an adapter?

Thanks

The 12 minute issue has to do with a file size limitation, not overheating

All you need to do is while you are asking a quesion quickly hit stop and start record to initiate a new clip and another 12 minute countdown if you will

Overheating can indeed occur but it is relatively rare

That said, HD DSLRs are not great choices for capturing long speeches since every 12 minutes you have to start a new video clip
