| Re: Nikon D90 - any thoughts on movie mode?
Monkey,
If you've had/have a chance to have a quick go with one then that will be the best test of all. Play it back on a large screen (i.e TV not the LCD on the camera.) to check the quality of the footage.
Personally I haven't even seen the D90, apart from the odd photo in magazines. I did read a write up about it and that did have a couple of paragraphs about the film function.
The guy was quite impressed with it but did say that if you were trying to film anything moving at speed it started to get a little jerky. He put that down to the way a camera records an image compared to how a camcorder records an image.
A friend of mine was really drawn by this function to record her daughters at horse shows but my advice to her was get a camcorder. She was more interested in recording than the photography side.
Hope this helps a little.
