andrew parrish Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I have an hv30, and a some Nikon lens (including a 50m 1.4). I was wondering what would be better- get a good dof adaptor and rails, or just get a like priced dslr? I was thinking around $1k. I film mostly MOS, and would be using the equipment for outdoor mood shots in snowboarding, surfing and sailing projects, and maybe telephoto work. I shoot super 8, so the manual focus thing ain't so big a problem for me. (I did have a problem with Nikon, however. My D70 was a reliablity disaster, a shook my confidence in nikon. This fact is a big reason why I am having trouble with this question)) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Mast Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi Andrew, The DSLR will be sharper, but you'll get significant jellocam in high-motion content. Neither setup is ideal for shooting high-motion, because they're both CMOS-based cameras, but the HV30 will be a little better. Considering the environment you're working in, I'd recommend getting an decent, inexpensive DOF adapter (like the Jag35) that's easier to fix on your own and wouldn't be a huge loss if it got destroyed.
