I was looking at some indie short films online, and some of them look great. They achieve shallow depth of fields and consequently look very cinematic.
I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not, but can SLR cameras potentially be used to make feature films? Personally I think it's awkward mounting the single lens reflex camera on a tripod and shooting video, but cameras such as the Canon 500D and the 7D produce great quality clips.
Also, are there some cheaper HD camcorders out there that can achieve the specific look with the SLR cameras (shallow DOF) without the use of a 35mm adapter or other add-ons?
