On today's Tech, No Babel, "Should your church use a DSLR or a camcorder?"  There are plenty of reasons for each.  On the DSLR side, you have interchangeable lenses, 1080p video, shallow depth of field, and value.  On the camcorder side, you have longer record times, better audio, and features built with videographers in mind.  There are no universal answers, but depending on your needs, one might be better than the other.
