It’s a daunting task. Figuring out what gear you need to shoot video on a DSLR isn’t terribly simple. There is soooo much stuff out there for shooting with HDSLRs these days.

If you are feeling a little bewildered don’t worry, I have written this list with you in mind. So take a deep breath and read on.

The age of full frame sensors is upon us. Just this week Canon announced the 6D. Thats the 5th full frame camera announcement in the past week kids… Only a little while ago there was really only one solid, full frame camera that could be used for video use (the Canon 5D mark II). As of today there are now TEN (check out the lineup below). And half of them are around $3k.

Here is where I want to hear from you, now that full frame has becoming available to all, whats next? And please for the love of pete don’t say 4k…

Things are getting ridiculous… First it was the Canon 5DmkII, then everyone made an HDSLR, then we had the awkward AF100, Sony’s FS100, and from there it just got out of control. To add to the madness, Sony and Nikon have announced new cameras. There are easily 5 stellar cameras in every price range now its a good time to be alive.

So here a breakdown of whats new.

Nikon D600

  • Now the cheapest full frame, video enabled camera.
  • Clean HDMI out.
  • Mic AND headphone input/outputs.
  • $2,100.
