Video/photo: Blurring the limit

With the arrival of new Single Lens Reflex cameras able to capture video sequencs (Canon 5D Mark II & Nikon D90), the limit is blurred between video and photo cameras.

The presentation of some new impresssive accessories (or should I rather speak of hardware fixture or heavy-duty complements, to be more adequate?) is changing the context a little further.

Two companies recently presented such machines to allow video shooting in conditions that could be defined as “reall pro-like” (we have to admit that handling, stability, sound recording, etc. are quite difficult with dSLR cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II and the Nikon D90).
