Know of a camera like the canon rebel xt but with the ability to record videos?

Ok.
So I really like the canon rebel xt, but I also want to be able to record videos.
Do you know of any other cameras like the canon rebel xt but with the ability to record?

There are [only] two Digital SLRs at the moment that possess video recording capabilities: The Nikon D90, and Canon 5D Mark II.

EDIT [6:14pm PST]: I must point out that Vicseo’s post is a bit misleading. The DMC-FZ28 is NOT a dSLR. It’s a "superzoom", or point and shoot camera with a long zoom. What it lacks compared to the XT (or any other dSLR) is a big sensor, optical viewfinder, and ability to interchange lenses.


AWriter is right

The D90 is under $1,000.
The 5D, Mark III is under $2,700.

Both prices are for the bodies only, lenses extra.


If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:

http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_reviews/panasonic_fz28.html

It just came out on November 4, 2008.

It’s an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel DSLR camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HDTV quality video [Quicktime]; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] "Leica" lense for nature photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a "burst speed" of 13 fps; and sells new for $270 at amazon.com.

Here’s an actual handheld picture of the moon:

Good luck!


Here (are) sample videos shot with Canon 5D MII. http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetProductArticlesAct&productID=249&articleTypeID=225

p.s. Please don’t take this wrongly, although that Panasonic camera is a fine camera, but it’s hardly a Leitz / Leica.
