In the past DSLR can only take photos, but it can not record the video as well as other normal digital camera. Now it's different. Today I read the news about Nikon D90 and it has the video feature. Besides, other feature is good. This is a big improvement for DSLR. I like camera like this.

Oh yeah... I was looking at the specification of the new D90 and drooling as well.
Sigh... I just bought my D80 a little short of a year ago. And I have yet to maximize the usage of this camera and the D90 is out.
Comes with live view too!
Well, until I can justify buying a new one, I can only drool over the new D90.

Yeah... I think so too.
It all started with the Sony Alphas. Then the Olympus E series. Or was it the other way around. I cannot remember.
Slowly, I am sure the rest will follow suite sooner or later.
But the D90 is released like so fast! The D300 barely even reached a year, and the D700 is released already.
A few months after the D700 was announced, the D90 is ready for the market.
It is almost impossible to catch up with all of these improved models.

I don't think there is a need to have video on DSLR. I don't believe in combining all in one. I take many pictures and I also have video production company.
I rather keep photography separate.

I think it's a great to combine them! I currently sell both stock photographs and stock video clips. It will be great to go out on a shoot and only have to bring one camera for both! Plus the videos look fantastic! The DOF you get with a DSLR really makes a difference compared to video footage you get with a regular camcorder! And the price is pretty good... around $1,000!

My s/o just told me about those, he gave me the Nikon D40 this past Christmas and I love it. I for one don't really care to combine the DSLR and a video camera together. I love taking pictures and would rather do so than a video. I also have a video camera, however, I use my Nikon way more often than the video camera.

I did hear about this! The video clips they have as examples are pretty incredible! I'm thinking about getting one. I have a camcorder, but I'd really like to be able to use my current Nikon mount lenses to shoot video! Plus the DOF is incredible!
