Best Camera To Shoot A Movie

I shoot a lot of home movies and edit them together carefully, so I got this camera to replace all the point and shoots with movie mode that I'd been using over the years. I go for more warm, intimate looking picture. I really love the look of this camera's footage. It's not perfect, but I find it to be vibrant and pleasant. It has some chromatic aberration, especially when zoomed in some, but I actually feel like it gives it a bit of an analog warmth. The CMOS sensor feels more like the movie modes in point and shoots, which is also something I like, but with really decent HD image depth and detail. Great picture! It's not going to give you full frame style depth of field like the 5D (or even of a point and shoot), it's not high end, but it's priced really well and the performance for the price has been close to breathtaking. I didn't care for the touchscreen and menu layouts at first.. and really, I guess I still don't, but I got used to it in a matter of days and find that it's more of a matter of working the way the camera's engineers intended for you to, as opposed to going against the will of the camera. This is a zen exercise, if this doesn't work for you, then you probably need to spend a lot more money for a camera that's a lot more manual. There are ways to lock down and dial in focus, exposure, shutter, aperture, but it's just not laid out in such a way as to be quickly accessible. I shoot fast and plentiful, so that's out for me. I would recommend, as others do, in turning down the auto gain compensation or it can get grainy kind of quick in low light.. and for the love of all that's holy: use one of the progressive modes.. 60i is for football games and bad tv. Finally, learn what the different OIS modes are tweaked for, or you can end up with some twitchy pans. I really love this camera.

Very easy to use with iMac ! Best way to view a movie in a plane !!!

I love my 100s sooo much! Best camera you could ever shoot with! eye detection, fast auto focus and the best quality money can buy! you can crop for days! Feels so smooth in your hand.

Basically doubles the shoot time on my Sony EX1 when compared to the BP30 that came with the camera. Best to have at least two BP 60 for field shoots.

I've tried an off-shoot case or two to a Pelican case, and they never compare. Best cases to protect my camera eqpt.

It looks like a point and shoot camera, but if you take the time it can do a whole lot more. Best features are the instant Bocah effect, high speed filming for capturing action, and the addition of the mini tripod can be used as a remote control within a few feet from the camera. The size makes it great for travel. The on-board mic is decent up close and the fuzzy bunny's foot windjammer is definately a plus!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best TV for movie night. Great for gaming. But best for parties in Ambient mode!! We’re always hosting parties and movie nights since we got it. Be aware friends and families will now visit more often.

Great gadget to shoot a smooth video without shaking it. Looks like a real movie.

Best camera ever!

Best camera for me!
