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

yeah i agree they don't look like any of the samples on nikons site, also "nikon d90" translated into japanese does not not appear on their sites search results also there is no reference to the d90 on any of these sample pages, therefore i would say that these are not actually d90 videos.
 
Can this really replace a proper camcorder and a 35mm adapter? apart from the fixed framerates and inability to shoot 1080p?

What's going on here?? is it Vimeo that's deleting these files? because now there's ZERO clips on vimeo and the D90. They've all been deleted...

To me.. this is the embryo of what the Scarlet will be... or what it hopes to be. I'll gladly wait for that time, but what I think is most exciting about this camera is that it just shoots video. I shoot video on my pocket digital camera now.. when I'm out and don't have a video camera. That's what this intial model is so badass. It's about as good as the 300D, which I was looking at, it's cheaper, and it shoots video. I think that the line will be blurred over time. One guy will go out.. shoot video and stills all in the same camera... It is a harbinger of the future and the line will blurr. Now, let's see what happens to the market with this... with the scarlett and then the other answers on the horizon

The embryo of the Scarlet? I don't know about that. The D90 is the embryo of what the Scarlet ISN'T. The D90 is already offering things that everybody wishes the Scarlet would: It's a third of the price, it has a bigger sensor and takes 35mm lenses instead of having a fixed zoom. This isn't a baby version of the Scarlet. In these things, it's already surpassed what the Scarlet is offering.

It's the very first of what will be relatively inexpensive cameras that shoot HD video with large sensors and take 35mm lenses. Nikon D100 FTW!

Would someone with an actual D90 in their hands confirm if the overlay can be turned off ? Its possible that its on by default as in the HV20..But I'm sure there is some menu setting - probably obscure to turn it off..
C'mon Nikon, there must be a way to get a 1080p video output on HDMI WITHOUT the UI overlay..

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.

Yep! I knew surprising things where happening. I just did not think Nikon would be the first one to move up to the plate. The still cameras have all the hardware basically in place for this. Smaller still cameras were already shooting video, so the most logical evolution was for the DSLRs to go at it. If you announce a produt at least a year in advance things like this happen. The big camera companies are not sitting around waiting for Scarlet to just come out without a fight. Eventually PRO stills and PRO motion capture footage will be coming out of DSLRs with as much quality as a Red one. Thats technology evolution and competition.
 
you can say that one more time....evolution and competition,that leads to better products and tools to develop our ideas...
 
Hunter, maybe you/forum should put together a faq on the first page...

There is no solid proof, other than what the website dppreview says about exposure lock. So far it's been said it can be locked, but I can't tell if they mean for just still or d-movie or both. Hopefully it's both.

It seems odd to me that so many (or all?) of the D90 video shows the image changing exposure as they shoot. If the exposure can be locked, it seems like somebody wanting to show-off the video aspects of the camera would try to make the footage look as good as possible and not look like an amature was shooting in fully automatic mode.
