DSLRs are great for film makers because they give them very beautiful results. There are of course some problems. DSLR can only shoot short clips for two reasons: they have been hobbled at the factory so they cannot take more than 30 mins of video in one clip regardless of the size of the memory card, secondly they heat up to the point where they won't function. Traditional video cameras are required for event video, like I do, where I have multiple cameras and I turn them on at the beginning of the event and I don't turn them off until the end. DSLRs can't use their auto focus while shooting video. The files that are recorded on DSLRs don't work well on some editing systems without transcoding them. DSLRs normally don't do audio well. You are going to have to buy one or more mics and perhaps a field recorder. B & H has some great videos on DSLR techniques and gear. Gerry
