One good thing about when you own a DSLR which can record video is that you can use all your lenses also for recording videos. It would possibly be very expensive to buy similar lenses for an HD video camera. Here is a very nice example of what you can do with it when you own a macro lens, or extention tubes mentioned in a past post. The video is spiced up very nicely in After Effects!
