"Ever since the introduction of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II three years ago Canon has remained the top choice for event and indie filmmakers due to the overall video quality, high bit rate, 1080p recording, and manual controls while in video mode."
Canon took the success they had with the Mark II and introduced that same technology in their other models - the Rebel T3i, EOS 60D, and EOS 7D - giving
Canon a big edge in this niche but fast growing market.
Nikon has tried to play catch up in the video department, but until now just didn't seem to "get it." Their models lacked a thoughtful layout for video, manual controls in video mode, and lack luster HD video performance.
That is until today, as Nikon has just introduced the Nikon D4 - a 16-megapixel FX-Format (Full-Frame) Digital SLR - designed for both very high-end portraiture and sports photography as well as 1080p HD video capture.
