Digital camera that shoots high-quality stills and HD video at 60fps?

by airgap

I’m looking for a DSLR, SLR, or ISLR-like digital camera that shoots high-quality stills, HD video at 60fps in 720p or 1080p, and does slow motion video playback for under $ 1000.

Something like the Casio EX-F1, which is no longer available in retail.

Most cameras that I see do less than 10fps. And I haven’t found any (Canon, Sony, Nikon, Samsung) that offer slow-motion playback.

Does any manufacturer offer a product like this?

The cheapest DSLR that will shoot at 60fps, would be the Canon 60D for $ 1000: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_60d#Overview

Transfer home video and digital photos to DVD, quickly and easily – Without a PC. Connect effectively any camcorder, VCR, even Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and record video to DVD in real time. Insert a memory card into the DVDirect MC-5 and record digital pictures directly to DVD as a slideshow, or for photo storage.

I’m shopping for a new digital camera and camera (after leaving BOTH in a taxi).

But, my question is in regards to mid-range cameras that also record video. I’m debating whether I will be pleased with just export a nicer camera with video option as opposed to export both the camera and camcorder separately.Like this Nikon below:

It records in HD video. Has anyone used a camera like this for video recording/production as well? I’m not a pro obviously so I don’t need high-end equipment, but I am wondering how a camera like this would work for shooting extended HD video. Would it be just as excellent as having an HD Camcorder?

I previously had a Sony camera that recorded SD video, but once in video mode the lens position was flat; you couldn’t zoom without stopping the recording. Is this still an issue with cameras?

Yes it is an issue with point and shoot and bridge cameras. Everything on these cameras goes to full auto when recording video and the zoom is naturally unavailable.

With an slr camera that is video competent though, zoom is always manual and the auto focus on the lens can be turned off. If you do that you’ll have to focus the camera as you go which is the case with most video production anyhow.

You didn’t mention what you have to spend but you’re doubtless looking at $ 600 – $ 800 for one of these cameras with a basic 18-55 lens.

I do video production with a Fuji 9000. It doesn’t shoot in HD because it’s an grown-up, discontinued model but it works very well for what I need. You may also find that you’ll have to do format conversion on your video or buy separate software to edit your material. I use a program by Roxio called Creator. It retails for around $ 100 or so and is a fine editor.

I am not quite sure how to answer your question but here are two possible cameras to consider.

Canon T2i, body only, about $ 720. You will need to add a lens.

Nikon D7000, body only, about $ 1,200. You will need to add a lens here too. An advantage of this camera is that it has continuous auto-focus in video mode. I don’t know if the Canon has it. When it comes to digital HD video it isn’t cheap but the prices are still a lot lower than they used to be.

If you can afford it get the Canon 5D Mk II for video. It is so excellent it is being used to shoot TV shows. The last episode of last season’s “House” was shot entirely on one.

That is a fantastic camera, what you’re looking for is HD, and yes, it’s even better than some camcorders, look on YouTube for video samples, I saw many, I got this camera and it’s incredible in video.
