Question

Adding video feature to digital camera was for their popular applications, as unprofessional users wanted to have both photography and videography at the same time. Professional cameras were exclusively divided to photography or videography. However, this situation is changing, and videography features are added to DSLR cameras too.The interesting point is that the level professionality of videography on photography cameras are reaching the highest level, as many filmmakers use DSLR camera for professional projects. I understand that technology is advancing with better DSLR cameras, but video cameras were also advanced. Why there is such tendency to use photography camera for filmmaking?What are the technical advantages (or even better pros and cons) of using photography DSLR camera for filmmaking?

Answer 1

A lot of filmmakers use DSLRs today simply because of the flexibility. Sometimes this even allows for better colors than a video camera can.

However, more filmmakers are starting to use mirrorless cameras instead since they are are a lot lighter and allow you to look through the viewfinder rather than the LCD screen.
