Thats pretty neat Steve. Looked pretty clean. I was using my video function for my girls bday and notice how it adjusts for light. If I could just train my eye for the focusing on the fly I would be set. Do you know if they fixed the sensor heat issue to allow it to play for longer than 5 minutes?

As far as I know, no. At least not with mine, the instructions advise a maximum of 5 minutes. Personally I think that's more of a blessing, since most video a lot of people shoot gets pretty dull after a few minutes. When I was a kid, my Dad had an 8mm film movie camera that had no sound and was played back on a projector. The film rolls were 50' so the duration of a single film was only a few minutes. The trick was to make every movie shot count, so you only triggered the shutter when everyone was "ready". Now with video, people shoot hours and hours of footage that mostly gets fast-forwarded through anyway.  |

Yeah from what I know about videography, which is not much, 2-3 minutes for a scene is usually more than enough. If you had a way to splice 5-6 sequences together that would be cool. Wonder if you can do that with elements premeir. have not tried but I have a thing called movie maker that i think could splice. I hear that some Canons shoot for as long as 29 minutes but a 4gb card can only hold 12 minutes of video so....

Yep, there's tons of programs that would work. I use Sony Screenblast, which is the cheap watered-down version of Sony Vegas but it works. It would be interesting to see someone shoot a feature film using a DSLR.  |

after some reading about the issues that would arrive with a DSLR it may be a while before we see it used. one thing I never realized was the size of a pro video sensor Vs. one out of a DSLR cropped or full. huge difference. I do like the ability to have stereo sound with the D300s. I suppose thats one nice improvement, video wise from a D90

I suppose thats one nice improvement, video wise from a D90 Actually, I wasn't referring to mainstream movie cameras being replaced by DSLR's. The difference between a DSLR's movie capabilities and modern broadcast quality video cameras is vast. The chips in high-end video cameras are different design, plus they have three chips, just to name a couple differences. I was really suggesting it would be an interesting pet project for maybe an amateur or independant filmmaker. In fact, I wouldn't be suprized if somebody hasn't already done it.

Chase Jarvis made a video documenting the D90 capabilities. His team was given D90's before they were released to the general public to test and "play" with. It is pretty interesting really but yeah it would be cool to see someone make a staged video from one.
I think the second gen Nikon video will be "all that and a bag of chips" The big fault with the Nikons that Canon jumped on was the 24fts and the 720p res. I bet nikon changes both those to 30fps and 1080p in the next gen.
Wow it is hard to believe that that was taken with a DSLR, thanks for the shared link
DPReview had a great article on the video in DSLR. Pretty good reading
