Toys: Nikon D90

Toronto - The camera world is abuzz this week, as Nikon has announced their new D90. Now seeing how Nikon releases a new body every few months, what is the big deal here?
It has a bloody movie function.
That’s right, now you can take your slick SLR’s and record up to 5 minutes of super clear video with it. No more grainy videos of you and your friends doing something stupid, now you will be able to see with crisp details of exploits. That is pretty sick. Check out the video here:

I watched some of the sample videos on the Nikon site. They look pretty flashy, but if you look at the bottom of the page you will see:
Note: The videos shown here were taken using D-Movie function, then converted to Flash Video format for ease of handling. Image quality varies from the original.
Most people would watch these videos and assume that this is what the camera spits out. These videos have undergone some serious post processing, as the above statement eludes to. Sure, you can get this quality with the camera, but you are going to have to know your shit and have the software to do it.
