Okay so when Nikon announced the new D90 I thought it was kind of silly. I mean who buys a reasonable serious DSLR camera and wants to shoot low quality video with it… but then I started to think about the option of shooting video at a consumer level harnessing the power of the readily available catalogue of Nikon lenses.

Seriously, check these videos shot on the D90. Now granted the lenses they used are worth, in most cases, at least as much as the body itself but when have you ever seen that kind of depth of field control, or wide angle shots on a consumer level video camera… I’ll tell you when… never, that’s when.

There may be some real potential here in this gimmick.
