Update,
Thanks again for all your input. I decided to go with the Canon t4i instead of upgrading the Nikon d5100. Video of the show will be posted on my website at AlabamaGolfReview.com shortly. Thanks again,

Thanks again for all the information shared here, sorry for the delayed update. Here is a bit more information on what I’m doing. I will be shooting a local golf show with the main focus on the landscape(the golf holes), with a couple of interviews and a few shots of actual play (teeing off etc…)Not much continuos shooting over 10 mins or so. The video will show on tv and online. With that being said Let me ask you all this.. 🙂 I purchased a Nikon d5100 for wife a year ago with the kit lens. If that was all you had and wanted to use that for video “to get me started” what other equipment would you recommend purchasing using as little money as possible; lens options, audio equip etc. I believe earlier Steve offered a pretty good run down of equip for the canon. By the way that was a good video you posted a link to, the Callaway commercials are a little ways down the line. Thanks again for all your information

First Thanks to everyone for your replies,

Mike I’m especially about your reply. I’m not exactly new to video I’ve shot weddings and a few corporate events a few years back, at that time I was using a Canon XL1 video camera. Now, I’m looking to get back into video and my concerns are that most of the new hd prosumer video cameras don’t shoot as good of video as you would get with some of the new dslrs unless you climb the price ladder. I’ve recently had someone suggest the Sony Nex VG-900 which doesn’t look back accept for the current price. I am more comfortable with a “regular video camera” so do you have any suggestions on them. As my previous post stated I’m shooting for tv and web. Once again, any information would be appreciated,
