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 shooting a typical suburban touch football game as might be faced by any soccer mom across America. Camera was hand held.
(note, I was experimenting with the shutter looking for a combination that could enhance slo-mo in a future video but that has nothing to do with the ability of the camera to capture the action). Action provided by River City Football, 2011
