From what I can tell, the T2i and T5 aren't as good as the D3300.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Bump.

I was thinking about getting a Nikon D3300 (and a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 lens) for stop-motion and some photography, and I wanted to ask you guys if it's a good choice and if there's anything else I'll need.

I know Canon cameras are better suited for stop motion, but as far as I know they come at a higher price.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Adding to what MarkNelson said (hopefully), Dragonframe can crop to 16:9, as well as a few other aspect ratios, for any camera. 
I believe the original reason behind most DSLR's using 3:2 was so that they would match 35 mm film. 
Also, I would highly recommend taking a look at Canon's refurbished camera shop; you might be able to snag a good deal from there.]]></content>

I am new to this forum, may I ask you a question? I read dragonframe camera configuration guide and it seems confusing - some cameras aspect ratio should be set to 3:2 (like canon 100d, canon 700d). Some cameras shouldn't (like canon 70d).
Why there is such difference? In other words  - will I be able to shoot in 16:9 using dragonframe if I buy canon 700d?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I've had a 60D for a long time, and it's great, though it's getting old. The 70D is a direct upgrade, and a lot of people really like it; I'd say it's a safe bet. The 80D is better, obviously, but also more expensive, I imagine you can get a 70D for a pretty good price these days. For an all purpose camera I think Canon is still a very good choice.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hi all,

I've been working with the Nikon D5100 for the past couple of years and I really like it, but it was never mine to begin with so I'm looking now to get something of my own. Everywhere I've looked has pointed towards Canon so I'm eyeing up the 70D at the moment, and I was wondering if I could get a second opinion. I'll also be using it quite heavily for live action stuff, so I'd like something that's quite multi-purpose in that sense - the shortfall of the D5100 was that it wasn't as great for live video.

Thanks,
-Jacob]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[So something that I just realized with my t2i is its inability to shoot 16:9 photos. I didn't really ever care too much about the 3:2 ratio until I recently began to animate with it, and I'm always forced to crop my image to something less desirable in order to get rid of the side bars. Is this something many brickfilmers have to live with, or is there a possible workaround?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thanks for all of the input guys. I decided to go for a Canon Rebel T5i that I found on my local website for selling used items. Got the camera plus the 18-55mm lens for $375. I have used the camera and lens pretty extensively already for an animation that I am working on right now, and I can safely say I have had absolutely no problems with light-flicker.  Also ordered a Nikkor 35mm f/2.8 from ebay for $90 bucks. I am pumped to work with that lens!]]></content>
