Video Camera - Lateral-g Forums

**GregWeld** · #1 01-08-2015, 08:18 AM

I have a Nikon D7000 that does video.... and I've used it for video. Here's my personal issue with a DSLR camera and shooting video. I can't remember the settings to make it shoot video because I don't use it often enough. It's not a one click pony. So if I was buying a new camera -- I'd be looking at it's operation function buttons to see if they're simple to switch modes.

If I just wanted to shoot video -- the GoPro TYPE cameras work great - EXCEPT there's no zoom... they're a one trick pony.

I have a Nikon D5000 that has video but the limitations are that videos are limited to 5 minutes in length or a maximum film size of 2 GB and you can not use auto focus. I would have to manually focus the video. At the moment I have no smart phone so I can not go that route.

I am going to try and get out this weekend to see what's out there. Something simply that has decent zoom, battery life, low light shooting, and quality would be nice.

My Nikon D7100 has a record button on top that when pressed, immediately goes into video recording mode. The movie length is only limited to your memory card sizes (it has dual memory card slots).
