ok here it goes, a dslr with HD video recording capabilities. Nikon d90. In my point of view, a dslr wil never, ever have a video recording capabilities, since it is an slr, and only has single lens reflex, which means SLR cameras operate A SHUTTER to allow light onto the CCD to capture the image therefore they can't take video. dSLR purists (finally get the word!-instead of saying enthusiast) may not be too keen, but anyone with even a passing interest in shooting video should be keen on the SLR's big advantage over the camcorder: interchangeable lenses. All sorts of effects, from fisheye to telephoto can be achieved, as well as a greater level of control over factors such as depth of field. pretty awesome eh?

 

The new dslr cameras are not only become more affordable these days, but it really is become better. Now, dslr cameras are entering new age, they are now gps ready, face detection capability, hdmi ready means that you can see your pictures in your HD plasma or lcd screen and trust me my 40d's pictures doesnt look that good viewed with normal video cable in HDtv compared to my dad's d300 with HDcapabilities , furthermore, , as you can see with the nikon d90, dslr with video capture with 720p HD ready. standing ovation to nikon.

 

i was on the phone with my dad last night, and were talking about which is better now, nikon or canon, and he's a nikonians. I used to like this conversation since canon used to be better than nikon. full stop.

 

i think canon should stop following apple by upgrading their product lineup specially dslr with slight change EVERY YEAR, yes, a more megapixel, better built quality (canons made in japan and nikons are made in thai except their few high spec and high price model) and a higher number behind the DiG!C processor mighHt indulge me to upgrade, but a better competitor's goods just wont do. Having a dslr is not like owning a pocket camera, a mobile phone, a car, or a computer, with those goods, you can just easily steer clear and change your gadget to another brand if they have a better value for money. owning a dslr camera is more like a lifetime commitment, since you might have a lens collection with your camera, and many lens costs as much if not more expensive than the camera itself.

 

so yeah please canon. a d5markII or d6. surprise me with a killing specs. enough said.
