I almost got a Canon 60d today, the prices look good but then I stop and was thinking is this the right move? I shoot on the HVX200a and the footage looks pretty good. I have only seen one film that was shot with this camera so it doesn't seem to be a big hit as making movies for the big screen. As long as I keep my footage to the size about 12 inches (watching on the computer) it really looks good the smaller the better of course but when I put the footage on my 62" home theater it looks like major crap.
Now for the DSLR there are feature films being made with these camera and what I have seen I feel looks much better then any HVX but then that could be just me.
Am I right about wanting to change my camera to the 60d or am I making a silly mistake? I figured I would start out with the 60d and when the new mkIII comes out I would be ready for the jump. Any feedback would be helpful.
And NO I don't shoot sports or weddings if anyone is asking the camera won't be used for that. I'm shooting a short film (60 minutes) and will get to show it up on a large theater screen.
