HDSLR market overview: March 2010

DigitalPhotoPro gives us an overview of the HDSLR market place today: while one year ago, there was only the Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D Mk II, they now talk about 10 cameras in the market. If you allow for cameras that have HD recording, but are not technically SLR cameras (they don’t have the ‘reflex’ part, the optical viewfinder with mirror), we now count 14 digital photo cameras that support HD video capture:

  • Canon EOS: 1D Mk IV, 5D Mk II, 7D, 550D, 500D
  • Nikon: D3s, D300S, D90, D5000
  • Panasonic Lumix: DMC-GH1, DMC-G2, DMC-GF1 (not SLR)
  • Pentax: K-7
  • Samsung: NX10 (not SLR)

If you only want Full HD (1080p), these are the options:

  • Canon EOS 1D Mk IV (24, 25, 30 fps)
  • Canon EOS 5D Mk II (24, 25, 30 fps – with new firmware)
  • Canon EOS 7D (24, 25, 30 fps)
  • Canon EOS 550D (24, 25, 30 fps)
  • Canon EOS 500D (30 fps)
  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 (24fps)

with prices between $6200 (Canon 1D MkII) and $650 (Canon 500D). Not counting decent lenses :-)
