and it auto focuses...you can control shutter speed and aperture. hmm too bad its 4/3s.

not bad.

i wish nikon had a microphone for the d90, im always covering the mic w/ my right hand/palm, but the audio still is pretty good i guess??

or even like a light for night time shooting

well, really just an accessory i can spend more money on

Yeah, I've been watching the micro 4/3 stuff, it'll be interesting to see what happens. That this thing shoots video doesn't make it worth $1500 to me, but whatever.

More importantly, if they come out with an even smaller micro 4/3 camera and some interesting primes like the 20/1.7 they're promising I am definitely buying one.

i have a feeling nikon will have an option for a mic in new models. if not...im switching sides haha.

haha i wont lie, ive been searching around on the canon website recently

i don't use video on my 90 as much as i thought i would when i bought it, but if nikon starts putting out some nice accessories, it'll give me a reason to be obsessed with video for a month or so again. haha

The grass is always greener...

but really, micro 4/3 could be really cool if they dont' screw it up. Something like this that they displayed, only in all black/bare metal with an optical viewfinder. Plus that 20/1.7 they're promising and it'd be awesome. I'd carry it every day instead of lugging my D700 everywhere.



The whole video thing is cool, especially that this promises auto focus, but definitely not a game-changer for me.
