there's no camera shake in that so it's hard to say, i never had a problem with jello on the d90 either while on a steadicam type of rig. but it sure looks better judging from the couple of panning shots. i love how it looks exactly like d90 footage only crisper. just what i was hoping for.
 
ok, watched it again, there's actually one shakey shot and it looks great. one thing i'm wondering is what's up with the crushed shadows. same problem as the 5d had with zero black in h.264 perhaps? or did they crush them in post to get rid of noise?
 
The rolling shutter will still be there, waiting for you.
Wait until other tests are done to push it to the same breaking point of all the other VDSLRs. That's just the way it is.
You can't expect a promo video to exhibit any serious flaws like rolling shutter or aliasing. In fact, a promo video is practically designed to cover up any of those flaws.
I do like seeing the improvements from 720p to 1080p, and there might actually be a slight reduction in rolling shutter artifacts, but overall, it's still the same as it ever was.
All things considered, it's still a very nice camera.

And what does that tell? That in the hands of a pro the camera could do very very well, doesn't it? Also on the BTS there was a lot of sudden movements, rs effect there?
 
John, it can be debated later when people who are independent of any manufacturer do additional tests. For a moment though, let's just be honest here, do you honestly think Nikon figured out how to remove rolling shutter artifacts and implemented it on the D7000? Because we hear the same thing with every new VDSLR announced accompanied by a promo blessed by the manufacturer. For now I will remain skeptical.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be possible for a manufacturer to better the RS performance as time and technology progresses? Isn't that what we want? A better performing sensor that actually produces better images? All we need from Nikon is that the skew, RS and jello is a tad better than say the GH1 and voila, 1080p24, 720p24, hopepefully a decent enough bitrate and all the image enhancement on the many menus will give us pretty good looking footage. And on top of that, pro looking stills.

My thoughts exactly.
Also overall image quality looks better on the "behind-the-scenes" feature mostly the sunny parts. Why? The short film looks kind of muddy or how you would describe it. Is it beacuse it was shot in low light?
 
I think it can be youtube's compression that is creating that mud

and I think rolling shutter is not a problem on the 7000D, it looks better than anything else I've seen, and definitely a whole different world entirely from the D90/D3100

look at the windmill shots: those rotating things are keeping a straight shape; it's not the fastest-moving object you can think of, but it surely would be enough to challenge current canon offerings (I don't have the link now, but look on vimeo for philip bloom's "very silly 1Dmk4 low light test" or something like that)

edit: still, with all that, I think I won't get one: line-skipping is still there, so this will not be my definitive body, I want full-frame without aliasing/moire and controlled rolling shutter with equal or better codec than current canons, and I can wait one or two years for that to come; I'm getting a simpler body to play with in the meantime, but from what I've seen it looks like it's going to be a 550D/t2i (I've got some very nice vintage M42 glass that works on canon but not on nikon); if D7000 sold for D90's price, that might change things, but right now it's much more expensive and not a whole world better
 
For only $300 more the D7000 looks like a lot better camera. Of course like all cameras you have to wait till they come out. But the video look pretty good to me. Full manual controls I think, 20 minute record time etc. They said on Twitter a lot of the shots were hand held.

a lot of the shots in this clip have been stabilized in post ... just look at the lens flares as they jump around which is a dead giveaway of smoothcam/mercalli or other smoothing methods. I do think the footage looks pretty darned nice but don't be fooled into thinking it was that smooth out of the camera.

Can't wait to see some DVX users show us what the camera is really like... who's first????:laugh:
 
when is it coming out? I'm replacing my old DSLRs as my budget allows so I might get it later in the year.
