It's about time a DSLR supports video recording, and Nikon D90 will go down in history to be the first to implement that. And with the rage about high ISO, D90 will fit even better to the mass market. Definitely an undeniable plus point for existing compact digicam owners to upgrade to DSLR, the only small issue is the mono-audio recording. That also means more room for improvement. In time, you'll see Full HD recording capability, or even supports external microphone for professional-grade recording. Sounds like a convergence with the camcorder. Only problem against compact digicams: size. Twice, Nikon beats Canon to the DSLR race. In 20 Aug 2007, Canon announced the 40D. 3 days later, Nikon hit Canon with D3 FX and D300. This year, Canon announced 50D on 26 Aug. 1 day later, Nikon threw out the D90. In any case, there is nothing to gloat about. Technology replacement is getting so fast that any technological lead is easily overtaken in the next cycle. In this case, Nikon beats Canon twice in the consumer market. |
