D90 Wobble Test

Oh my god! That is beyond unbelievable. You guys are a bunch of dare devils to go for a camera like this. For me it just sounds like one limitation after another and a whole lot of compromise. Specially when it's just basic logic that from now on things are just going to get better and better, and the competition is already announcing that what's ahead is going to be way better than this.
 
Yeah, so please show some video you've shot with those announced products. I'm curious. Now is now and then is then.

why not just apply a video filter like deshaker to the wobblier shots?
it works by rotating the skewed frames as necessary and filling-in the gaps using previous/ next frames.

I have been watching this thread with interest. If you want to capture motion... you don't want to have to worry about how you shoot. If you are nervous about how to hold the camera, you have the wrong camera.

Don't buy a RED. That should end the "this is against everything and for RED" complaint.

Buy an HVX. Or a DVX. Or any real camera designed to shoot motion. But don't settle for bubble-gum skew. Do not buy this camera for its video capabilities. Buy it for it's still abilities.

There is no question that the future of still cameras includes video... and visa-versa. But this camera is not it. Software to "fix" jelly bean skew is not the answer. That is like putting a band-aid on a heart attack.

The D90 is a quite capable consumer camera. Really. But this attempt at motion is a disaster. Really. If you have to worry about how you hold a camera when shooting motion, you have the wrong camera. And if you say things like... how about fixing it with this software... good luck.

Sony, Panasonic and others make good motion cameras with no "jelly-bean skew". Use them. But do not expect this camera to give you professional, prosumer, or even consumer results for motion.

My best,

Jim
