I just received some information about a sweet DSLR put out by Canon. The new Canon 7D DSLR has some nice HD video capabilities at a price that is semi-affordable. One of the leading proponents of DSLRs for video shoots is Vincent Laforet. Check out his video short featuring Jamie O’Brien.

The 7D shoots 1080p video in 24 or 30 frames per second…making it a surf video making machine! That’s right, video on a DSLR. Hey, all you rich surfer kids, make sure to put this one at the top of your x-mas list.
