Milestone: BBC embraces HD-DSLRs for 100% shoot of individual TV program(me)s [updated]
Update (Fri Sept 3): Thanks to one of our readers for the alert. The original story has been deleted from the aforementioned site and replaced with three new ones that have updates and clarifications. For one thing, BBC contacted them to let them know that HD-DSLRs were not on the approved list, but are evaluated on a case by case basis. At the same time, they write that another series was shot with the 5D Mark II.

According to a new article in HD Magazine {link does not work, check Google Cache for original if interested} (via Philip Bloom), the BBC has given the green light for a 100% HD-DSLR TV program/programme.
It is interesting that DSLRs are expanding their foothold in the HD-video direction, while at the same time they are getting pressured from underneath by mirrorless compact cameras. It will be interesting to see how things play out in the next few years as various technologies compete, converge and diverge in different twisted ways :)
