Canon does it once again. With the recent release of Nikon’s D600, a Prosumer full-frame DSLR for around $2300 for the body, Canon releases their own version of an entry-level full-frame DSLR camera, and it packs all the tools a DSLR filmmaker will need. Starting with a 20.3-megapixel 35mm sensor, Digic 5+ image processor and an 11-point autofocus system and 4.5 fps max continuous shooting speed. Most interesting to me is the HD video capabilities of the new 6D which are identical to the shooting modes found in the new 5D Mark III. Full HD 1920 x 1080 (30 fps/25fps/24fps)

Getting into shooting stills and video kind of came out of necessity. In 2007 I started an online magazine as a way to help pay for my hobby. I bought a cheap Canon Rebel XT DSLR and used it to cover the races my audience would interested in. This was actually the stepping stone I used to also get into videography.
