What is the norm today for the independent film maker?

By far, most people are still using Canon and Nikon DSLRs. The Black Magic cameras are another affordable option that people with a little more of a budget are using, and the image yield is quite nice. But prosumer digital video cameras are also becoming more and more affordable, and I think will eventually be edging out the DSLR trend. That was such a fluke in the first place, companies are beginning to see the demand for affordable, high-quality video cameras and things like the 2.5K Black Magic and the Canon C100 and so on will be changing the independent scene trends, I think.
