better glass

So, you are saying a CANON DSLR has better glass that a CANON video camera? (same goes for everybrand really.) and yeah maybe DSLR lenses have better glass that a raynox or a Kenko, no way it is better quality that a century optics lens. DSLR's can have shitty glass quality too buddy, sorry to burst your bubble.

a solid 5d mark ii setup for filming is probably cheaper than cams that tv shows use, but then again house is shot on 5d mark ii's

Yes, it was used to film one episode, not all of them, also, a VX1K is probably a lot cheaper than a camera used to film a tv show, but they used one to film shots in entourage last year.

Basically the argument you just brought up was pointless. I can assure you that's that was no stock 5D they used to film House. Pretty much a Dslr has worse censors, manual control, battery life, audio, comfort and they have no steady shot. Sure, they have good quality, but they have the jello effect from CMOS chips and a slew of other problems, so for video, a video camera is always going to be a better choice.

well obvi a dedicated anything is going to better for that than something that can be both, but for being able to do both they do it damn well.

Yes, for both, they do a fantastic job, but I don't understand why people would buy them specifically for filming, makes no sense.

It's a Samsung SC-MX20, they're probably really cheap now. They really aren't that nice, and are terrible in low light.
and a Kenko .43x fisheye. Those are like 30-40 bucks.

alright thanks bro
do you know of a camera that is kinda cheap that is decent in low light?
