Should I get a D90?

Yes talent, hard work, having good equipment, working with other people who have talents you might not have and certain amount of luck. I know I need that!! LOL I'll send you some links

Not because of the 7d, because of talent. Talent combined with embracing


technology and having a positive outlook.

You posted links to other people's work, do you have any of your own?

I have a D90 as well as many other cameras. I can safely say the d90 is fun and that's about it. You can get some interesting b-roll. I can't imagine ever using it for an a camera.
 
Get a GH1 and a Nikon adapter.
Way better at video than a D90 or 300s - and has the lowest downside (i.e. far cheaper than a 7D)

(I own a 300s and GH1)
 
Totally hate the GH1 video look... much prefer D90 and D300s.

....it's such a love/hate relationship right now. I LOVE how the base image looks. I HATE that they haven't "kept up" so far. (Manual control, 1080p, other frame rates/slow-mo)....I hope the rumors are true with the d900. I would LOVE to see some progress from them...at a price that I can reasonably justify. 5k is a bit much for 720p...

I'm probably going to be disappointed, but ....I am hopeful.

Rumors sound like they'll finally upgrade to 1080p so let's cross fingers. I think Nikon did make progress since the D90, they just don't communicate it

If this is what IQ will be like on their next APS-C cam in 1080p, I'm there.

That's really nice...wish I had the scratch for the D3s and I would even be happy with the 720p.

hehe, no I think they just focus on positioning they're DSLRs as stills cams and nothing else. Nikon apparently took market shares from Canon last year, so I guess Nikon marketing folks are doing a good job :)

They are thinking about video or they wouldn't be putting them on their DSLRs. Photography is what they do first and I hope that doesn't change. But hopefully the video improves too.
I agree with you that marketing people are doing a good job. The Ashton Kutcher ads are paying off.

Yeah, as I said, I think Nikons video mode already did improve, they just don't promote it on their professional cameras too much, which makes sense to me.
 
It makes no sense at all to me. In what measurable quantitative way did Nikon's video mode improve and where is the URL that reports the data? I'll believe that when I see full manual control...
