From: Paul Stenquist
Airborne and on my way home from producing a one-day video shoot in
Atlanta. The shooter I worked with used a Canon T2i DSLR with a
7-inch HD monitor mounted atop. (This was another job where I didn't
get to hire the shooter, but I'm pleased with this guy's work -- so
far.) Most shots were off a jib boom. Footage looked great on a
monitor. I'm anxious to see the final results.

I sort of think the whole DSLR video is going to be a passing fad.
The reason I think that is you don't need the SLR viewfinder, and in
fact can't use the viewfinder, when you're shooting video. So why would
you need the mirror & pentaprism and all the other machinery that puts
the 'R' in single lens reflex? Why wouldn't the manufacturers eliminate
them to lower the cost and beat the competition on price?
I expect we'll see divergence into a slightly more specialized video
equipment; it'll be a modular box with the sensor, lens mount, LCD and
connections to output the video.
The DSLR will for the most part go back to being used for still photography.
