wasn't sure how to do it at the time

I'm a fairly novice user of the camera, mostly using it for stills because the video portion is such a hassle if you're not using a tripod, you're following someone at multiple distances, and/or you demand good sound. Yes, the sensor does overheat after about 5 minutes (they even put a 'countdown' at the top of the screen for you). As far as I've gotten with the camera, the video is compressed to .AVI at the highest setting of 720p HDMI. It's impressive video, but it's not very versatile.

zeiss wont work!

thats a real shame , i hoped it deed , since you can use the d80 with them , well thanks a lot philip

Zeiss is doing lenses for nikon mount ....
is this D90 use the sensor frame (almost 35mm film format sensor size) so similar to the RED (taking the compression factor of course ...) looking for it , or maybe the D5 canon ....

always!

yeah. don't know why i even bothered to ask... I think think its because its a new camera and some shots have more more pronounced vignetting.

Good for you, Jacob!

But I am a part-time pro that plans to learn the ins and outs of the D90 as a great SLR for 12Mp stills, and also allows me to use my Nikkor glass to task for some video work. You can afford a Red? Great! But I can't, so I am among those (call me a "prosumer if you like) lauding the video functionality.

Ouch. Hurting me with the sarcasm Mr. Barry...

I am led to believe that you did not read the article. RED's DSMC (Digital Still and Motion Capture) will compete within the same market that Nikon's D90 and Canon's 5D are in; yes, even in price. However, I do not believe it will be much competition. I have a feeling this "DSMC" is going to blow us away. Seriously, read the article. Whereas the D90 shoots 720p [and the 5D at 1080p], RED's DSMC will [most likely] shoot 2k or 3k! Not to mention the amazing RAWCODE RED codec that will be utilized: RAW editing, for video. Simply amazing.

I, also, cannot afford the RED ONE... which is why I am looking forward to this!

I hope RED lets us know something fast.
I'm halfway into getting a D90.. but I'm affraid I'll regret it.
I have a D60 now, and shoot time-lapse and 3fps clips with it... It's obvious to me that I like the picture look... but to have it in motion. Lenses, control and HD. thats what camcorders can't and Nikon and RED can.

awesome shoes you mean

if u can get them to send me one for demo...

dont worry. you still have a great combo

of course. let me know when

Fantastic! Where should I send the questions?

Thanks. Your work inspires me and I'm hoping it will inspire and improve the videos of the members of my forum.

Did you get my questions, Philip?

Hollywood has been doing it forever. Only analogue.
The cams and lenses, dollys and seperate sound equipment is simply too expensive for semi-pro or home users.
When getting into photography, I think a lot of people get to know cinematography.
Nikon D90, Canon 5Dmk2 are the first steps to make it all possible in 1 device (except the audio part maybe).

...a lot of people are waiting for RED's answer to this.

i think buy a proper camera to be honest!

Perfect reply :-))

LOL. I think Philip Bloom is a more than established cinematographer already. See his kit: http:/philipbloom.co.uk/about/kit/#more-94 and his imdb profile: imdb.com/name/nm2423275/
and of course the tag line on his blog "I've been making films for the past 20 years."
I apologize in advance if I misconstrued your post :-).

that did make me chuckle!
