fireframe said:Probably more than one reason, but to me it's because the recording sensor is normally blocked by the mechanical shutter and reflex mirror.
wildstallion said:Yup, and when its up you cannot see anything, so you do not really know what you are going to record if this feature was available of course.

y not? olympus e330 is one... just that it got additional sensor. my guess is they might even modify the sensor to capture movie instead of purely a live-preview sensor. but i doubt the video quality will be anywhere good.anglim said:If I remember the fundamental concept of single-lens reflex correctly, you view through the same lens (via a mirror) as the film or the CCD/CMOS. Based on this concept, how can you view through the lens when mirror is lock up for video taking.
Maybe you can view from the LCD for DSLR. But then, can you still call it single-lens refex per se?

Terence said:An innovative use of DSLR in filmmaking is a movie like Corpse Bride by Tim Burton. Nikon lenses mated to 24 Canon 1DmkII cameras were used to film the entire movie.
