DSLR cameras these days are pretty good at recording videos at pretty good quality. One of the episodes of the television series, House, was actually shot entirely using the Canon EOS 5D MK II, so we guess having good video capture features and specs for high-end DSLR cameras is almost to be expected these days. That being said, Chinese website Xirumo has posted some details of the video specs for the rumored Sony A99 DSLT camera, and based on what we’ve seen, they are pretty impressive if true!
