Why I want a D90
Today Nikon launched D90 As a DSLR it's a D80, same controls similar specs, but, for one crucial difference. It shoots Movies.


Ken Rockwell's review


And no camcorder home movie crap. It shoots almost close to a 35mm movie ... You can project the movie you shoot on this $1000 camera on a theater. This is specially exciting for me because I've always wanted to shoot good quality videos with nice DOF and the camera capable of such tricks and the lenses for cine cameras are all very expensive.

Imagine using your 105mm macro for portrait on video with the background in big fat bokeh. Imagine making movies in semi hd quality with professional lenses.

one two

I can't wait.

There's another crucial difference: your max usable ISO gets doubled from D80 to D90 since it's the same sensor that appears in the D300. That makes a compelling case for consumer DX lenses because, other than limited DoF control with large apertures, their limiting factor is low-light performance.

Sisi. FX is teh r0ck. I'd so like 35mm to work like a *real* wide-angle lens and the 50mm as a standard lens and the 85mm as a portrait lens. Perspective distortion at the wider end in DX ain't very cool.

720p is not true HD. It will crap out on a 32"+ screen.
