Videography:
DSLR are not merely for photography but they are also appropriate for videography. There are many corporate film makers who use DSLR for videos instead of video cameras.

If you want to make videos or films with DSLR cameras then you have to understand there are two important things about any video:

a) Resolution of video:
Resolution of video defines the size of any video, if the resolution is higher the video would be more clearer but if the resolution is lower the video would be less clearer. This difference you might not catch in conventional television however you will notice this in the any LCD or LED television. There are following resolutions of any video for DSLR

480p (720 × 480 progressive scan)
720p (1,280 × 720 progressive scan)
1080i (1,920 × 1,080 split into two interlaced fields of 540 lines)

These are basic resolution modes given in any DSLR while there might be more depending on the kind of DSLR. The point is, higher the resolution, better the quality of videos. Today 1080i is the optimum output given by a DSLR. This output resolution is also known as HD (high definition) video

b) Frames:
Frames may not matter for you much, as we can always change them during video editing yet it is important and required feature given by any DSLR
Frames explain the speed of any video, if the frames are higher the video would be slower but if frames are lower the video would be faster you may understand it by understanding slow motion effect.
Here is an interesting fact for you professional movies which we watch in theatres are made on 24fps(frames per second). There are a lot of DSLR cameras giving 24 cinematic fps, so choose wisely.

ISO:
International standard organization( Iso) is another important feature for any DSLR. Photographers face a situation where we are required to click a photo, but the result may not seem satisfactory. This may be because of the light conditions not being so good. One of the most common problems with every DSLR user or photographers is how to get a good photo in low light condition. ISO helps to give more exposure in low light condition to result in a better photograph. ISO is indeed an important feature to be checked before purchasing a camera.

These are main factors to understand before buying any DSLR camera. If you have some specified brand or camera model in your mind you can always check reviews and videos about that DSLR it may help you to decide. We wish you learn and enjoy with your photography…
