What were the top DSLR Cameras?

Thanks guys! I will say though, I definitely noticed a number of image issues. Luckily though, you'd have to be looking pretty closely to catch them. And for it's price, the K-X is a great deal.

Did you have any difficulties with the lack of full manual control?
 
We shot Dead Drop on a GH1. I don't think I'd recommend it for anyone who's not a one-man-band type of operation – we ran into some unforeseen problems that I covered in my thread.

But, considering the whole movie is shot handheld with a fair number of tracking and panning shots, I was pretty impressed with how the image held up overall.

Not good for a one-man-band huh?

Curious to know why.

I would imagine becuase of the need to do a two system setup for audio, and as such, needs someone to man said audio...
But then isn't that a problem for almost any project, where sound is important, and having a mic off camera is 'strongly', 'almost exclusively' recommended?
 
No, I said the opposite – only good for a one-man band. That may be exaggerating a bit, but the lack of monitoring capability would be a huge problem for a lot of people. You need to really be able to trust your shooter. Fortunately I was able to do that, but it still gave me a little bit of stress.
 
Ah got it, makes sense :) Funny... I usually ask to see framing, but rarely look at the camera while we're actually shooting.
