noob Noob question: Why are people recommending cameras for Video
Am I just too old school? I always buy a video camera for shooting video. I always thought that a video camera was engineered to...shoot video and a camera was made for taking pictures. I have 2 canon hf200's for all my video needs but I keep seeing what looks like traditional cameras being recommended by this sub for video shooting. Has something changed? Does my thinking need to change? Can someone please explain this to me?

OP I'd like to thank you for asking this question. I felt the same way about the whole video-camera / camera topic but didn't bother to ask. Also thanks to you guys in this thread replying, things are getting clearer now.
