www.dslrfilmnoob.com I was wondering around ebay, as i often do, looking for a second field monitor for my Canon t2i. What I came across was this $23 dollar dash mount backing camera. I thought for $23 I would take a chance and see if i could make it work. Well after doing some dremel work and adding a little bit of glue, i managed to make something that is very handy and very cheap. For a grand total of $28 dollars in parts you can have a cell phone size monitor for your camera. It isn’t HD but it works well enough for framing your shots and seeing audio levels (t2i magic lantern hack). Since the t2i, 5d mark II, and 60d don’t output HD when recording this little SD monitor will give you the same view as any other monitor in record mode. There is more info on where to buy this little guy and how to put it together on the site: www.dslrfilmnoob.com Equipment used in this video: Canon t2i Sigma 30mm f1.8 Sennheiser g2 wireless mic

www.learningdslrvideo.com I ran two test comparing the Canon T2i 550D for noise and which one could hold the highlights better. In both tests, the cameras are set to a neutral picture style with the contrast all the way down. No lighting optimizer or high light tone priority turned on. In the first test I exposed for the dolls skin, I was the back and I am about two stops under. Both are set at ISO 1600. The reason why I went 1600 is that is high as the Sony A77 will go in movie mode if you can believe that. I picked this doll from my girls collection because of the blue and green colors and I am holding the somewhat red Sony box for the third channel red to see which channel does worse with the noise. Starting with the Sony I see the blue channel is noisy but not some much noise on the green. When we look at the Canon I would say it is about a tie on the blue channel noise. Next when we look at my face and the box I think the Canon is slightly better. When we look at the digital target and you look at the gray and the black, I would say the clear winner is the Canon with noticeably less noise than the Sony A77. In the next test I wanted to see who could hold the blown out highlights better. For some reason I am having a really hard time getting the exposure right for the Sony. Normally when I fill the frame with gray part of the digital target and set the exposure for the Canon I will get perfect exposure on skin tones, but not so with the Sony. I had so much problems I

www.learningdslrvideo.com I was excited when I got some boxes in the mail, the Nikon D5100 and the Canon T3i/600D. Both are very comparable entry level DSLR’s. Both are about the same price. I know all I talk about on this site is Canon so I wanted to really give Nikon some air time now that is appears they are getting more serious about video on their DSLR’s. I think it would be great to have a bunch of Nikon D5100 tutorials on this site. Both of the cameras are really close in cost and they both have features like 1080p video and flip out screens. The Nikon doesn’t have all the frame rates that the Canon has but Nikon appears to have better low light performance. I was all set to spend a ton of time shooting with both and doing a really thorough review when I learned something shocking about the Nikon. You can’t shoot video in a full manual exposure on the Nikon like you can with the Canon EOS cameras. (You sort of can watch this video) The non manual movie mode is kind of a deal breaker for me, but instead of boxing it back up and sending it back, I wanted to still run a few comparisons first. Tests: Low light Aliasing Rolling shutter Bottom line is if you are serious about getting started with an entry level DSLR for any type of video that is going to require some tweaking, get the Canon T3i over the Nikon D5100.
