Hey guys I was wondering what camera you would recommend to pair with Twixtor? I know that basically means 60fps video is a must, I was looking at D5000 twixtor footage (my dad's camera, which I'm using at the moment) and going from 24fps means there's a fair bit of blur/artifacts from the twixtor process.

If possible I'd like to go with Nikon, simply because we already have two lenses for that so it'd save me some money, and second hand is fine, but I'm not totally against going with Sony or Canon, if I must.

The still quality is not outstandingly important, as long as it's not too far below the D5000 I'll be happy, and price isn't too much of a factor either, this isn't urgent so if I need to save up I'll just save up for longer.

Thanks for any help :)
 
Sounds like you've answered your own question, from Canon the 550D would be my suggestion but as you already own two nikon lenses then working with that system would work out better for budget.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with :)
 
Ksanti, did you ever get around to this?

I'm struggling to decide whether to get a DSLR to film 60fps video or just buy a video camera. We've got Nikon in the house already, so I'm in a similar boat to you. It doesn't seem like Nikon are on the video bandwagon.
 
Nope, I ended up deciding still images were more my thing and that if I was going to swap it would have to be a more substantial change than just having good slow-mo video. Sorry to not be any more help :(
 
No problem. Thanks for replying.

Anyone else have any advice on 'cheap' super slow mo? Best to just get a HD 60fps video camera?
 
Thread revival!

I'm going on holiday soon, cold and high up. I want to put a video together of basically everything. I'm not too worried about audio as it will be a music montage. Everyone loves a montage. I'm looking at the Kodak Zi8 for 720p 60fps, that I can post with Twixtor for some super slow mo.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Any advice?
 
If you're after video then I'd imagine one of the new Canons with the articulated screens and running Magic Lantern would be hard to beat.
 
A bit out of my budget for this really. I need something pocket sized, light, rugged-ish, and cheap with 720p 60fps and decent video quality.
