Is there such a thing? I was impressed by the filmic video qualityCanon 7D's and 5Dmk2 and was going to get one. Then the micro four thirds cameras (olympus E-P1, Panasonic GF-1) came out with their 720p video. I never considered camcorders thinking their small sensors incapable of shallow Depth Of Field effects, but i could be wrong. Before i get a dslr or m43, is there such a camcorder that produces good blurred background effect?
camcorder with good bokeh?

Very minimal. 60k camcorders used on TV have a 2/3 inch sensor which is alot bigger than your standard consumer camcorder.
Your best bet would be the 7D, 5D or the m4/3. Or a 200k CineAlta F35
.
buy the 50mm F/1.8,1.4,1.2 and you got the ultimate bokeh-ed video.!

sounds abit extreme, maybe TS can state your budget and purpose for the "camcorder" ?
My budget is around 1.5-2.5k. You will notice this is around the range of either a micro four thirds camera or the Canon 7D. My purpose is general family video and a bit of experimentation in videography. Something to get my feet wet kind of thing. I only ask about camcorders cos I don't know much about them yet they may offer a cheaper alternative while satisfying my 'good bokeh' criteria.

To me, for a camcorder, Canon Legria HF S11 is not bad in 'portrait' mode. Don't compare to DSLR lah, it is an apple and orange situation. :bsmilie:
