Photo World Begins Grappling With Video SLRs

The photography world is beginning to adapt to a new phase in the marriage of cameras and computing technology: the arrival of SLRs that can shoot not just still images but video, too.
The change began with the arrival of image sensors, the light-sensitive microchips that replaced film. Now two new SLRs--Nikon's D90 and Canon's EOS 5D Mark II--are taking another step away from the film paradigm, following in the footsteps of point-and-shoot cameras by recording continuous video and not just still images. Doubtless video will gradually spread to other SLR models and makers.
'This camera is the ultimate 'equalizer'--you no longer need half-million dollars' worth of high definition video cameras and explosion proof camera lenses delivered by a truck with its own driver to shoot a high-definition film in low light--you just need a $2,700 camera and digital concepts camera a few lenses,' gushed professional photographer and consumer reports best digital camera Canon advisor in New York Vincent Laforet in a blog post about a 5D Mark II prototype.
But not everything will be simple for Laforet wannabes excited by the new possibilities. Hardware, software, Web sites,perhaps most of all, technique all must catch up to the new technology.
Though how-to book authors have yet to weigh in, there are signs the adaptation has begun. Take the case of video hosting.
