Can’t get enough image samples of the D90? Anxious to see more video?
and more here at Let’s Go Digital
Some really nice full sized examples, and I can say for certain that the D90 boasts some improved metering, and as I’ve mentioned before, when it comes to higher ISO image quality, there is no comparison.
As for the hi resolution video samples, while painfully short, it’s easy to see the fun (yes fun) you could have shooting video with a DSLR and some good lenses.
But Let’s Go Digital does point out a big potential problem with shooting video with the D90:
Capturing motion pictures with the Nikon D90 cannot be compared to the way you capture these with a camcorder. To begin with; the camcorder is built especially for capturing video and is therefore ergonomically well thought-out. The video function the Nikon D90 offers through the DSLR system is significantly different. First of all, capturing HD video without the use of a tripod is somewhat awkward and the auto focus is not available when filming. This is a real lack and, in my opinion, for a large part of the amateur target group, it means a diminution of the innovation.

It can be hard hand holding a DSLR for a split second, now imagine shooting video with a DSLR while composing your shot on the LCD (no viewfinder in movie mode is my understanding). With the 18-200mm VR, fully extended, I’d bet it’s a real challenge.
