I have always had a thing for photographs! Maybe it has something to do with my mother's longtime boyfriend of 8 years who was a professional photographer. Therefore, because the DSLR can double as photo taking machine and a video capturing machine, I've developed a new love for it. I aspire to use it in my scene assignment!
I've learned that it has the ability to rack focus, which I really wanna use for my intense moments! It gives a quality cinematic look that I adore. The DSLR uses interchangeable lenses (which reminds me of the Sony's filters) and a sensor that is larger that gives it that higher quality. I also like how it tolerate low-light levels better. My film is dark and eery so I think it would work well with my film.
Here are some Pros and Cons of the DSLR, that I've reviewed from Cnet.com"
Pros:
1. Greater lens versatility.
2. Almost always better image quality
3. Better performance.
4. Usually a more functional "shooter's" design.
5. Greater flexibility.
Cons:
1. Generally bigger and heavier.
2. Increased complexity
3. Higher prices.
4. Generally inconvenient to use the LCD for framing. ( I plan on using an adapter to connect the camera to my laptop so my DP and I can monitor our shots.)
