Last week we showed you the nuttily high-level video quality you can now shoot with DSLR cameras, saving yourself a bundle; even at $2,800, Canon's 5D Mark II is still thousands cheaper than what a Pro HD camcorder would run you.

But you can easily piss those savings away with accessories--a company called Zacuto makes baseplate adapters you can attach your DSLR to, making it compatible with film-industry-standard tripods, steadicam rigs, dollies, shoulder mounts, et cetera.

Speaking of pissing away savings, Nikon has just released their D3X DSLR, which'll run you about eight large, before the government and UPS takes their cut. Gearlog's write-up on the camera is strictly by the numbers, but we love the new term they've used to coin the camera, which so handily encompasses most photography accoutrements: "Fexpensive."
