Canon Camcorders Full Hd
Do the Canon SLRs provide better HD movie recording than the Canon Vixia HD camcorders?
I’m having a toss-up between the Canon EOS Rebel T2i, Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon Vixia HV40, or the Canon XL-2.
I am aware that the XL-2 only offers standard definition recording, and that I’m mixing a cropped sensor, a full-frame sensor, a 1/2 inch sensor, and 3 1/3 inch sensors.
My problem is this: I want to get into cinematography as well as photography, but I have a limited budget. I am a stickler for quality, so they have to perform well to meet my expectations…But that’s just me. 
Any help would be great, as this is something I cannot really figure out. :/
I guess the answer may be obvious, but I can’t decide.
THAT’S MY PROBLEM!!!!! 
I have done very little video with the Mark II–but it really does look very nice. http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/4613943606/
The problem is without all the extra gears, it doesn’t work too well as a “camcorder” unless it sits on a tripod.
I think something like this costs as much as the camera itself. http://hdslrmovie.com/2010/03/15/a-review-of-cinevates-dslr-rig-and-medusa-sneak-peek/
Since you said your budget is limited, it is probably best that you get a camcorder instead.
