Lenses for Digital SLRs Reviewed for Professional Video Capture
NEW YORK: The use of digital SLR cameras is on the rise
in TV and professional video production. The season finale of the Fox hit
series “House,” which aired May 17, marked the first prime-time network drama
shot entirely on digital SLR cameras. A commercial for the Olympus PEN E-PL1
shows that it’s being shot with the very same camera. (See “HD
Video-shooting Still Cameras Infiltrate TV Production.”)
Digital SLRs are valued in TV production for their small size and shallow depth
of field. Their “rapid ascent in virtually every production mode has spawned
products ranging from camera rigs to matteboxes to audio solutions,” writes Ned
Soltz. “Critical, though, to effective production use of the DSLR is selecting
the proper lens for the given scenario. Those options range from manufacturer’s
optics to high-end precise glass.”
