I was surprised to read from Wikipedia that the season finale of “House” titled “Help Me” was shot using a Digital SLR camera specifically the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Episode director Greg Yaintanes has quote saying that this particular camera is “the future” of digital photography as well as videography and it allowed the production team to work in very tight spaces, using minimal lighting, while also offering a very shallow depth of field. My curiosity was aroused as I quickly search the detailed specification of the EOS 5D Mark II.
According to the the Wikipedia entry “The 5D Mark II is the first camera in the EOS line to provide video recording functions. Still photography during video recording is possible, but the camera suspends recording video until the final still frame is captured.”

I wrote this because my Sony DSC-S40 is getting those “white blank LCD screen” problems every now and then and the remedy of “tapping the front of the camera” might not be a good solution for long.
So I have decided that I need to get a new point and shoot camera (buying a dSLR is still one of plans but that can wait for now). From what I have read so far the Canon PowerShot A620 and Canon PowerShot SD850 are the ones that I’m intereste.
