sure there is some nice shorts on there, but for real pro use an slr is not the tool. How many memory cards would you need for a start, my partner recently shot around 2 and a half hours of vid for a 30 second advert.
3 8gb cards are enough. Portable storage is where it's at. There's limitations, but there are also huge pros to using a dslr.
What about things like overall stability, xlr audio inputs/outputs ?
also sounds silly but wielding a large camcorder, mic and boom and saying channel4 will get you an awful lot. Not sure an slr would have the same effect
shoulder camera rigs, tripods, and stabilizer systems with loupes, follow focus, and screens made for dslrs. When audio is needed I have an excess of mics and other recording devices, including on camera soutions.
I'm looking more at doing music photography and shorts, not journalism.
Also in response to your original question. Considering this BBC News - Most of the UK missing out on HD how much is the diff between 720 and 1080 gonna make ?
I don't think I'm going to have anything on tv anytime soon. Evryone has said shoot in HD and down convert when needed. Beside having a full HD file, converting from the better format leaves you with a Breyer overall iq. Like shooting a 21 mp file with noise and shrinking it for less apparent noise and better sharpness.
