Hey Darrell,
I really want to learn more about shooting with the DSLR and I’m curious about a comment that you made.
When you said that you use DSLR’s because they are sometimes better than the EX1’s, what exactly did you mean? We shoot with EX3’s at Red Rocks Amphitheater and they seem to be very nice cameras. I think that the EX3 has better dynamic range and of course way less aliasing than a DSLR. So, in what ways and in what situations would the DSLR be the better choice?
Obviously the DSLR can give you more control over your depth of field and they seem to work pretty well in low light. Are there more advantages to shooting with the DSLR that I am missing here?

Hey Darrell,
I didn’t mean to offend you at all and I apologize profusely for doing so. I actually bought a 7D about three months ago and I’ve played around with video on it, but it’s disappointing me to no end. Don’t get me wrong, the stills are unbelievably awesome, but the video is killing me. I guess I just don’t know what I’m doing.
And thank you so much for the kind words. I’m still learning every day. That’s what makes this profession fun!

With all due respect, the client was nervous (and rightly so) because of all the known problems associated with shooting video on a still camera.
Who’s going to be taken more seriously, the guy who shows up to a “high end” shoot with a high end camera (even without a matte box) or the guy with his DSLR and a fancy new matte box (or even two matte boxes!)?
