hi everyone.
i am a pro videographer, and contrary to most peoples thoughts, not all (if any) videographers are also photographers as well. like myself, most use a pro photographer to take the still photos as part of a videography packages for clients, especially filming weddings etc as we with the camcorder dont get time to snap stills as well, and up till now i have had no interest in still photography, now i want to start.
ok, ive been reading all the camera reviews and i wont mess about here with factors like money etc, if im going to do this, i want to get the right gear from scratch.
1. i was thinking digital SLR
2. my decision will not be based on cost alone, i want the best "all round" package for what im about to pay, and in videography, most expensive is def not the best, i run all panasonic dv camcorders xcept my main camcorder is now the new canon XL-2. panasonic lead the field when it comes to best features and value for money in camcorders (sony has absolutely been knocked off thier perch these days, its a race now between canon and panasonic for the top spot, and sony is way over priced for the value u get in my opinion)
i have not seen any panasonic digital slr cameras mentioned in the reviews ive seen, so this is where your thoughts come in to play.
3. i want the camera to use for portrait, weddings, sport and nature (an all rounder i guess)
4. must be able to produce enlarged images up to approx 16"-18"
5. able to shoot in both outdoors and indoors, plus good low light ability too.
heres a few choices (not in order of choice btw) and all have very different pricing, but im open to other suggestions here......thanks in advance everyone....GLEN
1. canon EOS 1Ds $8000
2. canon EOS 1 Ds mark II $7500
3. canon EOS 1 D mark II $4500
4. konica-minalta maxxum 7D $1500
5. nikon D1H $4200
6. sigma SD9 or SD10 $1500+
