Lydia Sludden Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 To all directors, DOP's and industry professionals, I am taking out a study on DSLR's and would like to know: In your opinion and experience are DSLR cameras still being used for TV broadcast production? (Purely TV not for online content) Are you choosing to use them and why/why not? And if possible please include your job role/company in your answer.

CalebJR Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I have been using the canon dslrs for broadcast television. Strictly for local commercials. We mainly use them because they are quick easy to set up can use multiple cameras at once all on a low budget. They give a nice shallow DOF something missing in a lot of local commercials in my area. Our footage continues to stand out and our clients love us because we aren't renting any equipment out. We mainly use the new 5D Mark iii, but have used all of the video equipped canon dslr's and have recently used the panasonic gh2. I see us upgrading to the new Black Magic Cinema Camera, but for now the 5D's are here to stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Gomez Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Agree! We shoot lots of DSLR stuff around here and it works perfectly well. Here to stay! http://www.elsotano.com.co/videos.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachary J Esters Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi Lydia! Why yes, yes they are! Actually you'd be surprised that some popular episodics aired on television use D-SLRs as well, but they are highly popular for use in the realm of Television Advertisements. Zachary J.
