[QUOTE=Xera;30163492]85mm 1.2 :v:[/QUOTE] Hm... perhaps. Noted.
50 1.2 if you are already getting a 100-400.
[QUOTE=cueballv2themax;30160531]lolnope [editline]31st May 2011[/editline] or get a canon eos 1000D, 400D, 450D, 30D[/QUOTE] if indymogul is bad, then what do you suggest?
[QUOTE=plazzydan;30166650]if indymogul is bad, then what do you suggest?[/QUOTE] He's only going to suggest Canons. Some people are like that, and should be ignored. DSLR's are great (And Canons have superb video), but they can't beat a dedicated camcorder. They'd have a pretty good idea if you ask on the forums.

[QUOTE=plazzydan;30167603]200 bucks.[/QUOTE] Yeah, you'll have a lot of trouble finding something like that for anything less than a thousand because of it's depth of field. Spend a little bit more and you could probably find something with similar clarity, though. edit You might be able to pick up something a little more 'pro' if you don't mind using tape or film cameras. I think there are a few good quality models that sell for almost nothing. editttyyy But, to be honest, it's probably best you buy something just under what you can afford (Say, 150) and practice heavily. Then save up, if you can.
[QUOTE=MrEndangered;30168357]Spend a little bit more and you could probably find something with similar clarity, though.[/QUOTE] How much more are we talking? I just want something that looks nice and clear. Like... something that has that "HD" look. If that makes any sense. I'm pretty inexperienced, so I don't really know correct camera terminology.
shallow depth of field in video?
I think it's impossible to find a camera for under 200 that shoots in HD, has a shallow depth of field and manual controls. As suggested earlier, getting a camera that shoots tape is probably the only option you have if you want to go near 'pro' level cameras.

But the pure image quality is amazing

[QUOTE=cueballv2themax;30180693]yes, due to nikon video being underdeveloped.[/QUOTE] This became a conversation about Nikon... when? But I do agree, Canon has great quality, but it's no replacement for a good quality camcorder in turns of features, as pointed out. Actually, Canon do a nice line of camcorders for about 200. Nothing special, but if you're only practicing, they might be worth a look.
Cueball always turns the conversation into canon v. nikon.
