Where can I get the best deal on a Canon DSLR camera that shoots HD video ?
I'm on a BUDGET (under 800.00)
Answer
Do your research and buy local. If you're going to shoot video you need to test the camera for "hot" pixels before you buy it. A "hot" pixel is one that will appear white even when there is no light hitting the sensor. In a picture it's easy to correct, but on a video it's impossible, and Canon I believe allows for up to 5 hot pixels in thill DSLR cameras. To test for "hot" pixels that will effect your video footage put the lens cap on and shoot for 30 secs. Then put the footage on a computer with a 1920x1080 screen and see if there are any white dots in the black frame. Test until you find a camera that gives you a pure black frame.
Also, make sure the place you buy from a company has a reputable warranty so if something goes wrong, like the sensor quickly develops dead pixels, you can replace the camera easily.
If you do decide to buy online be aware that if you order in from other countries you can get hit with expensive custom charges.
The other danger of buying a camera online is that you might get a "grey market" product. You can read about what that is here: http://www.dcresource.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-5438.html.
With your budget I'd recommend buying a Canon T2i for HD video. One of my colleague's shot this on the T2i in Peru: http://vimeo.com/18040068

Answer
HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders produce.
DSLR Cameras, all Makes, all Models, all have the same problem when video taping some long videos, all overheat at the 13 to 18 minute mark, depending on the Make and Model. This is unavoidable, it all has to with the fact, video is an afterthought in DSLR camera production.
Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording Consumer Level HD Camcorder and DSLR Cameras, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes â four different times advertised as maximum record time for some Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders and DSLR Cameras or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video
