disaster999 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 "P" mode stands for "Program".When in P mode you are using what ever settings you have set your self, or that are present in stock configuration. "TV" is shutter speed priority. "AV" is aperture priority. "M" is manual focus. M is full manual, not manual focus. you control aperture and shutter speed. Link to comment

The Propagator Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I wouldn't buy a digital camera of this caliber on Craigs list unless they paid me to come and get it. WAAAAAyy to many scammers on their. Link to comment

jpluttme Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I've been very happy with the Nikons I've purchased (d70 and d200.) I second B&H for the camera purchase. D90 is coming out soon with HD video. I'd save for that one. Naturescapes.net has good prices on other equipment-sometimes better than B&H. Link to comment

To bad that video recording on the D90 doesnt have any autofocus and also has a nasty amount of shutter roll when moving the camera around. Link to comment
jeremai Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I wouldn't buy a digital camera of this caliber on Craigs list unless they paid me to come and get it.WAAAAAyy to many scammers on their. Of what caliber? It's a crappy little consumer DSLR, lol. Besides, it's fairly easy to tell if a camera works or not, just take a few photos and scroll through settings. Link to comment
latazyo Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 the idea of video on a DSLR is pretty cool, having a video camera with interchangeable lenses sounds way badass to me and would make for some interesting amateur nature videography (or other situations where the camera is not moving for the D90) that new 5D has some awesome video capabilities and if video was important that would be the current better pick on the other hand, Im not interested in video at all, so that is irrelevant and btw, the D90 has been out for a while now and is in stock at bh http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/5804...tal_Camera.html Link to comment
05XRunner Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 yea the 5D II does 1080p and its shutter roll seems to be controlled ALOT better and not as noticable as in the D90 plus it has autofocus Link to comment

05XRunner Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Is the 5D Mark II already out? no but videos seen taken rom the camera already prove it controls it better Link to comment

summers.enemy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I would certainly hope that the video on the 5D Mark II would be better than the D90! Little different class of camera there... Link to comment
disaster999 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 DUH....its 1080 vs 720. the camera is not even in the same class! the D90 will get A LOT more attention than the 5D mark II because its half the price. Link to comment

Seems to me Nikon rushed it out just to get it in the camera. Anyway its a still camera I cant see the need for this movie feature anyway. Home made porn will go up alot I bet Link to comment
disaster999 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 dont really see anything bending in the sample vids i saw. not sure what you were referring to. got a vid that displays bending? also, you probably dont think vid in a dslr is a good idea, the general consumer population will find the feature a nice touch. they have a dslr AND a near professional video recorder feature where it shoots in HD and interchangeable lens. killing 2 bird with one stone, who wouldnt want one Link to comment

disaster999 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 ah..i guess i overlooked that...probaby not enough buffer. Link to comment
phases Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 and only shoots for 5min though. 5 min at a time at the highest resolution, 20 minutes for medium and low resolution. You can start another movie right after if you have the space. I just picked up my D90 today. The video is cool but its the other things like super low noise, ultra adjustable white balance and active D-lighing that have me the most excited. Link to comment

You gotta love that screen on the back of the D90, it is GORGEOUS, with ONE TO ONE pixel to sensor when you zoom in!! Also gotta love that you can use a lot of cheap oldies but goodies (lenses) on the Nikons! Link to comment
SaltWaterNewb Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I am not overly impressed with the D90 video nor would I buy a DSLR because it had video. However I think the idea is not terrible. There have been a number of times when I was shooting my little one when he started doing goofy things that would have been cool to push a button and video what he was doing without having to grab a camcorder. I have a FujiFilm P&S that has video that I use more than the camcorder. It is small and does a really good job. I just picked up my D90 today. The video is cool but its the other things like super low noise, ultra adjustable white balance and active D-lighing that have me the most excited. Congrats. Post some pics from that thing. I have not really read anything bad about the camera. Everyone really seems impressed with it. And the pictures I have seen on the net have been really nice. Link to comment
