best dslr camera for video recording image
Vanessa
I'm looking for a DSLR camera that has video, I was looking into the Nikon D3100 or the Canon T3i BUT I like how the T3i Has the flip part of the camera so you can see your self while recording. (from my research I saw that the D3100 doesn't have that) I'm not sure if anyone knows of any that are better, that won't cost an arm and a leg. My budget is approx $800
As of right now I have the Nikon D3000 but.... I decided on selling it so I can upgrade, I want a camera that is good for photography and videos..... Help please?

By keeping in view your requirements and your mentioned budget, i would recommend you the Nikon D5100. It has advanced features then the Canon T3i. The D5100 has a slight edge
(0.6 f-stops) in low noise, high ISO performance (1183 ISO). D5100 has Significantly better image quality (80.0) and has a 13 EV dynamic range. D5100 also Distinguishes 1.4 more bits of color
D5100's movies are look great, with smooth motion and impressively low noise in dim light. It has In camera HDR which Combines multiple exposures to capture high dynamic range. D5100 has APS-C 23.6x15.6mm sensor, which is much larger than T3i. It has 3x less delay when turning on. It has contrast detection video autofocus which automatically focuses video shooting. The D5100's boost ISO is 1 f-stop better (25600 ISO) and has 11 focus points which Set focus accurately within the frame. the following link will help you to decide about this camera.

What DSLR camera that have good video recording result?

I was going to buy iPhone for its good video quality (of course with all iOS glory), and then I considered for handycam. Then my friend told me that DSLR, especially Nikon D5100 is a good choice since I may be interested in photography as well. Then I read this article saying that Canon is better at video recording than Nikon. Any suggestion of what camera I should buy? Preferably in the same cost range with Nikon D5100? Or Nikon D5100 is good enough? Considering I'm really new in this photography and filming thing (actually only for family purposed filming).
Answer
If video is important, then a camcorder is preferred. It is designed to capture video. And audio. capturing still images is a secondary "convenience feature".
If stills are important, than use a still image capture device. Like a dSLR. Capturing video (and audio) is a secondary "convenience feature". For example, if you read the documentation available for download from the dSLR manufacturer's web sites, you will find they will overheat when capturing video "for prolonged periods" (about 15-25 minutes maximum) and stop video capture until it cools down (takes a long time)... or... check their built-in (mono) mic and no (or extremely limited) manual audio control. This means no stereo without an external mic and adding something like a XLR adapter (~$350) to plug into the stereo audio input + use the audio gain controls... or... use an external audio recording device like a Zoom H2, H2n, H4n and take the extra steps to import and sync the audio when editing...
Basically you end up spending more money and time you would not spend if you use the tool designed for the task.
I am not saying dSLRs can't capture good video - they can - but they cannot be treated like a camcorder and they cannot replace a camcorder. There are workarounds for lots of things that you normally don't need to worry about when using a camcorder...
Don't forget the tripod or other steadying device, and shotgun mic (Audio Technica), stereo mic, wireless mic and maybe a video light... you'll need these no matter which video capture device you get. Even a dSLR.
Camcorders in the price range you are looking at include the Canon HF M series.
