So I have a Cannon Vixia HF R600 and I do YouTube reviews of board games. I also do interviews, game play, etc. I recently got a Cannon E05 Rebel T6i because of how much a friend of mine was raving about a DSLR but the 30 min record time is a major turn off. granted I rarely record for longer then 30 mins at a time, but still why is a DSLR the standard? Everything I research online says that the recommended under $800 camera is a DSLR camera for what I do. I mean I still have my Vixia I can record gameplay with and stuff, was just hoping to be able to do dual shots with the DSLR. Now I have the option to pay for shipping and return it getting my $600 something back. it came with the body, battery, strap and lens (18 - 55 I think) I need some advise... should I keep the camera or get a better video camera, or is this best for the price? Sorry if this isn't in the right place

Handheld video cameras sorta fell out of fashion a few years ago. Now they just put the sensors in dslrs and that gives you the added benifit of changing lenses, something the hf r600 doesnt do well. Even the movie industry has started moving towards more dslr use. Elysium, Avengers and Mad Max were shot on the 5D mkii
really? Even with the 30 min cutoff?
Are there remotes that can stop and start the recording on a DSLR, namely the one I have?
They have that app to remote take pictures, but that wont remote record. that way between cuts I dont have to get up and hit the button I can remote do it (Like Rahdo, if you know who he is)
Also I just recorded a video, but another problem I have with it is I can plug it in and charge the battery while I record.
