One of a series exploring the feasibility of replacing high end consumer camcorders with the Nikon D7000.
We know the Dslr is great for the Indie Film Maker, but can it fill the bill as a general purpose video camera for everyday use?
In this segment, James River News puts the camera through it's paces while leaving the tripod at home and shooting "consumercam style" with no support whatsoever. The fact that it was pouring rain and the camera was in a bag did not make the job any easier.
