Hey everyone,
I've been filming in HD using a simple HD Flip and found that the results for me at that time were great. I've been getting into filming short web series lately and have been meaning to upgrade all my equipment. I understand that shooting on DSLRs are the new craze it seems due to the interchangable lenses which for me, would be a huge bonus. I've read the forums and everyone seems to be shooting on the Canon 5D Mark 2, 7D and T2i. I've looked at all those cameras and the only thing holding me back from buying one is the fact that all the lenses I have access to are all Nikon. So my question to you guys is this. Outside of the fact that i'm going to have to record audio separately with this camera since it has no external mic import, will the overall image quality of the videos be in the same league as the Canons mentioned above? And are any of you guys planning on using the D3100 for any of your shoots?
