Digital SLRs have been gaining a huge following in the last few years for their ability to record video. The capabilities of these cameras is now outstanding with some even having 24P capability and nice audio. The beauty of these is that they have interchangeable lenses so they have a great range of lenses and full control of depth of field.
Don’t forget if you do want to shoot audio with these that on-board microphones are sub optimal and stability can be an issue.
