The end of 35mm adapers and hv20s....

Horse link again!?

First of all, I don't think that footage was shot in HD mode. Just because I've seen it on the nikon website, and it looked low res.

Second, if you are referring to 'better' as meaning no signs of wobble. That horse video really didn't have the type of camera work (pans with straight adjacent elements) to judge from.

no, I just added &fmt=18 onto the end of the url. It just bumps the quality up a bit.

Is this really a full res original straight out of the D90? To be honest I didn't find the quality that great.

I agree... there's quite a bit of blocking artifacts going on. Honestly, watching that clip took a hit on my hopes. I guess we really can't judge until someone gets their hands on one of these, and posts the raw footage for us to play with on our own.
 
<<<I bet DVXusers will blow that footy out of the water after 1 day with the camera.>>>>


For sure. As soon the N90 is in capable hands we are going to see some amazing stuff. With its low-light ability and no compromise in use of lenses it will be nice to see the work people produce...

Im so looking forward to seeing 3200asa stuff. Imagine a F1.2 at high ASA in a dark moody club scene with strong contrasted light. Maybe even B&W too.......Gritty B&W & shallow DOF...

Nikon if they don't already know, they are about to see a whole new user base community grow and following them coming from unlikely places 1 months ago like DVXuser and other boards. Good things to come.....

I don't think the D90 can output over HDMI at a constant 24fps and with the UI overlay turned off. However, it does support 720p and 1080i output over HDMI, just with the UI overlay as well.

It won't have anything to do with MJPEG unless you're playing back an MJPEG clip. The pure live view will not be compressed except for whatever compression occurs for transmission over HDMI but you still can't get rid of the overlay.

What's UI?

What is the signal that comes from the HDMI?

Parting shot.

I do feel this is the beginning of the end for alot of things. All it takes is a still maker who has no pro-camcorder market to protect. Once there's a better way to record to a decent codec, I'm in. Until then I'll sit this one out and watch.

Anyone know if the Casio EX F1 can do 24fps and for how long? I know it'll do 60fps at full rez raw for ten seconds. Maybe this might still be a better option.

UI is user interface, referring to the camera data overlaid on the LCD screen.
Also, the F1 can't do 24p--but it does have some cool slo-mo modes.

Totaly agree. Below are some company names that come to mind... To bad for Canon, if they choose their typical Modus Operandi tactic, then they'll not be in this game. Which would suck since I shoot with both Nikon can Canon gear. Love both systems.

Nikon
Olympus
Fuji
Pentax
Sigma
Kodak

Where is a good place to buy?
I have 0 still lenses, so is it better to get the camera in some kind of kit? If so, what lens is recommended?

The starter lens, a DX series I believe that will come with the camera ( depending on the package you buy of-course ) is not a bad start out lens. However over on reduser.com there is one of the best ever extensive lens tests section with volumes of info to learn and see which might work for you.

What's great with this, is you don't have to worry about buying a f2.8 lens cause there is not the low-light BS to deal with like on 35mm adapters with the loss of stops to focus on a GG.

Best yet you can now invest into a wide array of super wide to the very long telephotos like 1000mm+ lenses with no compromise in getting hotspots or vignetting that come with 35mm adapters.

Another thing, DSLR often will get firmware fixes unlike the video world where this is almost nearly 100% alien to them to do so....

What we need is to get a Nikon contact or representative/sales team person to interact with us on this board. They can learn a lot from this community and it's a good way for them to get to know their future user base like DVXuser etc.

Good cheap Nikon mount lenses:

All purpose: Tamron 18-270 with OIS, not out yet, probably ~$500
Fast normal DX: Tamron 17-50/2.8
Fast Tele: Tamron 70-200/2.8

Sure you could get the more expensive AF-S VR Nikkors if you can afford them but for a fraction of the price, you can get the Tammy's which perform just as well optically if not better in some circumstances.
 
Also, it seems that the Nikon is using 4:2:0 color subsampling during the MJPEG encoding phase. If you look at the chroma channels in bike source video, you'll see it. I haven't checked personally but Graeme over at Scarletuser has.
 
Liked the second and third one...you should put on a tripod and get some steady shoots...otherwise the third one with the 50mm f1.4 looks very nice.

Is that a Nikon store?

Is the camera already available in Japan for sale?
 
Wow...lots and lots of skew from even the tiniest movement and there's some really funky flicker from the auto-exposure in the lens cap clip. If that's as good as it gets, I guess I'd have to say my interest in it is pretty limited.
 
I think that first clip is really jittery, but in all fairness those waves we see traveling around, may be a reflection of a television or computer monitor off the glass counter. No?

You sure this is the D-90! Looks really skewy on that last one!!!

Do you think the shutter is causing that? Perhaps longer exposure times = more skew? I am unfamiliar with how cmos skew controlled.
 
Yeah... those clips suck. I don't think that's what we're going to get though - The clips on the website didn't have any of the issue's those do. This one could go either way, but I'm definitely not judging from the clips just posted.

I didn't realize there was a mic, though.

A guy from RED checked the file that was from Vimeo, that wasn't the original file to begin with. so, there's no actual telling what the color sampling actually is. did he also mention Scarlet is the better camera too?
