It's actually somewhat decent from what I heard if that's your concern and seems to be getting positive responses as well :shrug:. Half of this movie was apparently filmed using the D90: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVQX1rC-fRA

Looks good, but they left the autofocus array exactly the same which is a shame. I guess they didnt want to make a middle of the road one between teh D80 and D300. Tis a shame.

Movie mode is neat. There are some times that it would have been nice to have.

At least when P&S users ask if our fancy pants SLRs can shoot movies, we can now say yes :D

The only things our unnecessarily big, loud, expensive cameras have to catch up on now are dem megapickles and 20x zoom :rolleyes:

I guess the movie mode is cool... but when I buy a DSLR, I'm expecting a digital still camera and nothing else...

Kind of like buying a high end motherboard with on board video, you know?

i'm really interested in the kit lense and how it performs and how the camera overall will perform.

As far as I'm concerned, a D90 is a D80 with ADR. Whether or not it's worth the $$$ is up to you.
