@rifat2u yeah, those cameras have even bettter video quality, but if you want to frequently use the steadicam, the A55 is the only one that can shoot decent videos without the need to actually touch the camera, which is very important.
@daxrx7 well you are right... I think you are talking about continuous AF of sony dslrs in video and they've done it more perfect and quickly than any other dslrs, if it is any other camera I must put my one hand over the focus ring which may cause shaky videos... but still I am planning to get a dslr with video capability... which one do you actually recommend for current period (Canon 600d VS Nikon d7000 VS Panasonic GH2 VS Sony A65)
@rifat2u the best dslr for video is the GH2. period. It has a great bitrate, great controls, great sensitivity, and customizable firmware, but you have to use it like a real movie camera to get good results.
If perhaps you want to use the camera exactly like a camcorder, go with Sony. The others, nikon and canon, have slightly better bitrate and compression, but overall they are not that different from the sony.
@eherrera92020 the camera takes a 25p video, then converts it to 50i(because of the avchd codec). It's easy then to de interlace it and make it 25p again. the american version is 30p/60i
you should have stayed at 25fps i can see some 'jumps' in the video :/

@daxrx7 Thnx so much for your constructive criticism and helpful suggestion... I think I will choose between GH2 or A77

thank you! I also have some lights, but in these videos I'm only testing the lenses.
BTW "professional videos" is exactly what I'm willing to do in future.

Very smooth "steadycam"-like system!
Adding some lightings you can make very professional videos with this equipment...
Congratulations!
