Why does everyone say DSLR cameras are the absolute worst camera for filming youtube videos? I have found several you tubers plus more that use dlsrs cameras (nikon d5100, canon t3i, nikon d5200, etc) and they use a shotgun mic and the image and sound is pristine. Ive asked about filming with a nikon d5200 and people practically called me "dumb" for buying a dslr and not a camcorder.
I don't have $1600 to drop on a camera and the nikon d5200 ($500) video samples and sound samples seem great. Can someone explain to me why people hate dslrs for filming when plenty of successful you tubers are using them?
