    I got a new camera, Canon EOS 500D, even though its a DSLR, but it shoots videos, in HD format, FullHD as well, only in Full HD allows 20fps. But it works very well since it offers a great DOF, since the lens are the same for the professional photography. The only odd is that the sound recording is not that great, only supports mono, no external mic port. I am still looking for an handy recorder for that. But I am happy about this piece I got .. I know Canon EOS 5D mark II is better, but the price is 3 times more than 500D, and both uses same image processor, so as for now is not that bad.
