The popularity of DSLRs as video cameras has risen sharply over the last few years, due in no small part to the fact that the cameras have very large sensors when compared to traditional camcorders, allowing videographers to capture footage with shallow depth of field, and in low‑light conditions, at a relatively low cost. If you're interested in digital video, you'll probably have noticed the rising trend for shooting using DSLR stills cameras, particularly using a few specific Canon models. Is this now the cheapest way to make a high‑quality video? Canon's 550D Rebel T2i promises the same video quality as their acclaimed 7D, for half the price.
