the reason i'm looking for this is:
if we can still record on the camera (720p on D90) + initiate recording from a computer - i can use my small sony vaio laptop as a portable field monitor; remote video recording control is also great if camera is jib mounted.

bitrate is way more important than iso and so is shutter. just let this whole control over iso go arleady.

Or... Let's hope for an update for bitrate, shutter, AND iso!

bitrate is number one for me due to the macro blocking. or a different kind of codec. it's annoying when there's not a lot of information going on in the picture and the solid colors or blacks just look like poop. control over shutter would be nice cause then you wouldn't be messing with the iso. for me, control over iso would be a great benefit, but it just doesn't seem remotely possible without it messing something else, so keeping that at a constant iso rating would be just fine.

I'm basically just repeating what has been said, but I'd just love for somebody to tap into the power of D90, see if they can stream out 40-50 megabyte per second videos (computer required, but who cares that'd be awesome), control ISO/Shutter, make magic happen.

I can't see any reason it couldn't. The API has methods for calling images off the CMOS, so if a script were coded to pull at equal intervals of 24fps... there you go.
The D90 "movie mode" is fuzzy. I'm thinking more along the lines of accessing the still photo API to capture 24 images per second at a higher resolution than 720p.

That would be amazing.
How would this affect the life of the sensor? Would this be really hardware intensive for the camera?

controlling the shutter to 1/48 would be excellent for static scenes and dialogue, where a 1/100 1/125 would make for a nice action sequences. why else would you not want to have control over shutter? if the iso was at a constant 200/400 would be great, i agree, but what more than that is needed?

yeah, why don't we all just email this guy tell em, if he creates a working app for the d90, with all or some of our requirements, we'll send him a check for the price of the camera+ some.

i wish someone would create/run smth like http://canonhack.com/ for d90
even if the reqs are to accomplish tasks via sdk controlled from a computer

If your friend can hack it so that at least:
1) ISO gets locked somewhere between 200&400
2)total aperture control.

c'mon
aperture is on the lenses...
shutter/iso/rate are the things we're after

I guess you're right... partially anyway, 'cause I'm thinking about my Nikkor 24-70mm with no aperture ring...but f@#%k it, I can use only manual lenses if shutter/iso control are a feasible thing.

oops, nevermind...

It's all speculation for now.
I know if we're locked in to just capturing what LiveView feeds out of the HDMI, there isn't much available to us. We need a way to force sequential still photos and bypass the bottlenecks in the camera. Theoretically possible, but no promises.
