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

This is the start of a new era in video cameras. This particular product is not the end-all, but just wait what happens once the full-ripple of this is felt by nikon (and canoy/sony/ect).

This is just testing the waters, what comes later is the professional end-all version.

I agree; this and the EX-F1 are only a taste of what's to come. It would be cool if one could get professional-quality stills and professional-quality video in the same package. But that's a little while off.
As for right now, personally, I'm excited to see what the big manufacturers like Sony and Canon are going to unveil at NAB 2009 in response to this and Scarlet.
 
The hvx200 in 720p (960x720 anamorphic) 24pn is 40/mbs = around 5MB/s (even though dvcproHD is a 100Mb/s codec, in 24p mode, only 40Mb/s is actually used)

This is just based on preliminary specs:

The d90 in 720p 24p (full-raster) is about 16Mb/s = 2MB/s

It will be interesting how the codecs compare visually, as they are totally different compression schemes.
 
That looks great- I bet that looks better than what the d90 will actually record, but its a great sample showing what the codec can do with high motion/detailed scenes. MJPEG is also extremely easy to edit.
 
If I am shooting a film just for the web, I might use this instead of my Red. Im dreaming about 5 camera set-up 1-shot wonders, cutting instantly and uploading the film- dvxuserfests maybe?
 
Yeah, this is perfect for small web-based stuff! And let's not forget this is still a full functioning 12mega pixel still photography camera. lol

That website is a joke!:

i can't think of one reason for me why I wouldn't use this to shoot films on. short or feature. if the quality and resolution is there with manual controls, it's going to be fine for myself. the ease of editing footage is another added bonus.
 
Ha! That website cracks me up! read this:

"
In an effort to avoid such distasteful events this time around, and ensure everybody can enjoy a D90, Nikon now supports the following storage formats...

  • SD
  • CF
  • XD
  • Memory Stick
  • 3.5 inch floppy
  • 5.25 inch floppy
  • 8 inch floppy (in MB-D90b only)
  • CD/DVD (in MB-D90b only)
  • High-speed paper tape to maintain compatibility with Colossus
  • Punch cards
"
 
This is so funny: Macworld just resealed some info on their website about the new d90. Look at these responses from a few people:

Re: Nikon’s D90 SLR shoots Hi-Def movie clips

I'm sure the Nikon D90 is a fine camera, but I can't imagine the demand for video is very high on a dSLR camera, much less manual focus video. If they are going to implement a feature, they should do it right or not do it at all.

Re: Nikon’s D90 SLR shoots Hi-Def movie clips

Great to see Nikon cameras just gets better and better.
I don't think anyone will buy a D90 for video. But it's great and convenient for those who love quality still images and just need video in some rear situations.
Shooting video with any Nikon lenses may just open up a new dimension for anyone. Wow!
Great works of Nikon.

I think a lot of consumers have no idea what this feature means for the video & motion-picture industries- I wonder if nikon even really knows what they have done by adding this feature?
