Best wedding video lens options for Canon t3i?

"What is the best option for making a wedding video?" Use a camcorder - not a an entry-level dSLR. Regardless of the video capture device, you probably want some sort of digital audio recorder or wireless lav to clip on for audio. Chances are pretty good you won't be able to get decent audio without at least one (preferably both) of them. Suggest Zoom H4n and Sennheiser G3 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/61... With these multiple shoe systems you can mount the flash, video light, wireless mic base station and other stuff to the camera. Monopod is fine for stills. Tripod is better for video. And since you admit to being a beginner, it might help to read through your camera's manual http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0/0300004720... Video capture starts on page 141. Be prepared for overheating and automatic shutdown until cooled (page 163) file segmentation and file length limitations (page 151) and internal noise recorded by the built-in mics if you choose to not use an external mic (page 163). There's more, but these are the potential show stoppers that you want prepared workarounds for... This does not say anything about the quality of the video a dSLR can get - dSLRs can do a great job, but a dSLR is not a camcorder - it is designed for still image capture and video and audio capture are "convenience features" until you get to the EOS C100 level and above - which are dSLRs designed to capture video... Of course, if all you are doing is capturing stills to make the wedding video, all of the above is moot. Too bad your "friend" does not want you to enjoy sharing the day... href='https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140725083654AAYJ5qg' - https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140725083654AAYJ5qg -
