Re: First DSLR below 325$, Eos 600D or Lumix GH2

I haven't taken video pictures on my Canon T3i (600D) camera, so I can't give you the best answer. But I would think that it would not be an hindrance, if the focal length was short, you manually focused, and kept the focal length the same so that everything was in focus continually. You or I would not know precisely until we tried it out. Focusing becomes more of an issue when you zoom in and out with longer focal lengths.

Do cell phones have problems taking video pictures without an autofocus? I would think it would be the same with the Canon T3i (600D) camera. You would have to live with any limitations that come with an older camera that has about seven (7) year old technology, if you chose to do that.

Have you tried seeing if this could be answered on the Digital Video Talk forum?
