DSLR vs Camcorder

a still cam i think you will get results of your shots right away. Filming takes a little more skill both are super fun just to take out though. personally id go with the camcorder

both are two completey differnt mediums. film is sick cause you can review shit that you did like you were there. pictures last for ever and are memories that can be easily accessed and appreciated. I have both a dslr and camcorder. i like my video way more. all personal preference

id also go for the camcorder, but if you want a camcorder that is fun and good to film with its going to cost you considerably more than an SLR. it also takes a lot more time to get a product, but with experience in both fields, i would say videography is more fun than photography, but much more time consuming

It really depends what you're more interested in. Do you want to mainly take pictures but sometimes take movies, or vice-versa? Video DSLRS obviously do both, but camcorders often take ok stills as well. Neither does both perfectly.

camcorder. i have both a conon hv30 and a canon dslr, but i like filming alot more. but its really up to you.

IMO!!!!

a low end dslr (say a d40) is for sure much closer to its professional counterpart than a consumer camcorder would be, and therefore you can still get some really great stuff out of it, for not too much cost

film is complicated, and if you want to go high end, go for it, but it is really hard to learn everyhting and toget everything to work

if you want to make money filming, you'll need lots of setup things, you'll need to be renting things, people to help you, lots of time, lots of money, and lots of hard hard work

photography is much more accessible, but, because it is, its getting to be a REALLY over-run medium

nowadays it seems everyone with a dslr thinks they can sell there stuff, and is trying to, way overflowing the demand (at least in some places). film won't usually bring this result as it is far too complicated to learn everything just to be a hobby/ make a few bucks for a year, its more work than learning about still shooting, to an extent

both are very hard to be amazing at, and require work, money, perserverance, lots of reading, and most importantly, talent and skill


good luck and i hope this helps

yeah man very helpful
+k

if your looking to potentially make some money, then photography is the way to go, you can also get a nice dslr for a let less money then a camcorder that will give you ski film quality

Most DSLRs can shoot  pretty good video these days, so save up for a rebel T1i me thinks
