yeah you got some great colors in your shots. was all of that natural or some post production? also, what do you use to edit?

Wonderful! Natural or post production?

These sequences where shot late afternoon when the sun was low, some CC, just played with contrast and saturation. I used Premiere CS3 for editing.

Your shots so far are Amazing....

Looks like the Family can pull off a great Short Drama.

:)

Dido, great filming Roland. I want a steady cam for my D90:(

wow. nice video.

please read about picture controls and custom curves for d90. it'll improve your skills.

Very nice!

Awesome! I am going to buy d90 this weekend. I am speechless when I see this!

I really like your adapter/FX7 stuff. How does it compare to the D90 in your opinion now? It looks like the D90 is harder to focus. Do you think it will replace your FX7? Thnx for posting the tests!

I just got d90 and play with it. I'm so happy!

Very nice.
What settings do you generally use for F stops and exposure?

Hi Roland congrats for u're new D90,the pictures are film like,love a lot,,,definitely the industry will change with these capable cameras,I can't believe seeing this, apart from the in camera compression it's using,the images are clean and very nice shallow dof same like 35mm movie cameras

24p is fictional ,that's the great beauty of it compared to 60i or 50i which is like soap TV shows , that's a time long ago i've been fiddling with 50i to get that fictional look of 24P,,now I will embrace this new D90...wow can't believe it......

I've seen the Canon 5D markII footage,but to my taste it's too videoish here is the link blog.vincentlaforet.com/2008/09/20/something-very-interesting-is-comingboth-to-this-blog-and-to-our-industry/

Can you imagine,consumers can now enjoy 35mm movie feel ,not that gimmick simulated look found on HandyCams ...amazing

Great looking stuff.

And i'm on the same page with the "stealth mode" - that might be enough to make me get one.

The converse problem to this is that while this image blows my DVX100 out of the water, I don't know if I could show up to a shoot with just a D90 and some sound gear and take myself seriously. But the price for that is incredible too. Are you considering doing full video productions with just this camera? What's your workaround for sound?

Nikon has made LEAPS in convergence with this camera.

Really nice... shows off how well this camera looks.

Super video, could you tell me how to import the raw video in premiere, you need a motion jpg codec ? What'your choice ? I 've tried an old "morgan MJPeG" but had a bad quality

Impressive. Very nice shots and great colors. Roland, what type of SD card have you used? Is the 15MB/s enough for video with the D90? Thanks!

Nice stuff, Roland. Did you do any sharpening in-camera, or in Premiere?

Thanks, no I didn't do any sharpening in-camera or in Premiere.

at :06, your littlest one has an adorable walk that would probably be front page worthy.

:33 is a super cute scene of your daughter (not in a creepy way, but how she laughs after she takes a picture.)

great video of demonstrating the d90's ability. i

Hey Roland, thank you for the clip! It looks very good. Quick question - I think I noticed some wobble of the images in couple of shots. Do you notice it as well? Is it an overwhelming problem in D90? Does it happen when you pan? Thanks

i cant wait to get the D90 tommorow , the quality here rocks , i have the fx7 too and im selling it now hahah and when u said they stare at you like u have a shotgun in your hand you are right , they stare too much it annoys me when they stare

what is the music?

I think i will sell my FX7 and my 35mm adapter now... It's just amazing !!! I want my D90 !

Don't you have problems to edit mjpg in PremiereCS3 ?

has some really nice shots, love it

Hi Roland,
Un Super job!!
Did you do any conversion to 25p, and if not,
how does it show on a DVD?
Thx - Piet

WOW!!! this is very impressive, this video really shows the true potential of this camera. I have been trying to get my hands on a D90 for a while now but sadly i don't have the money :( :(.

Fantastic Video!!! more please!

That looks just great. I hope you are on commision as on the back of these images I have ordered a D90 with 18-105 lens, Sigma 10-20mm and a set of Zeiss ZF 28mm, 50mm and 100mm lenses. Can't wait to get them and have a play!

Great stuff Roland. This is the very first D90 video I've seen and thanks to you I'm already convinced to go get one. Your other videos are great as well. By the way, I was curious if you've been having any problems with it lately. Like from what I heard, if you record video for a long period time, it starts to shut down. Has that happened to you?

For the price of the HV20 this rocks... DOF included! (well after you by lense) but still cheaper than a DOF adapter and with a 24 frame rate:)

Good job Roland, I think I'm going to start saving up for a D90 as the only reason I haven't purchased a DSLR is because I like to take video as well as photos. Now there's no excuse... :P Are you able to use zoom while filming? I don't think i've seen a video of the D90 zooming in and out yet.

As for your comment about wanting a steady cam, my friend and I made one using "Johnny Lee's Poor Man Steady Cam" instructions. I posted a test comparison video with a link to the instructions to make your own on the info section. It cost me about $20 and an hour to make. :)

so great & emotional video! you make that camera shine!!
I´m thinking of buying the D90 or the 5D mark II, that is much more expensive but... i don´t know...

What is the song? I heard it before and i love it but don´t remember the name...

bye!

Wow. This is some neat stuff. Beautiful.
Vraiment incroyable la qualité qu'une camera 1000$ peux offrir. J'hesite entre ce D90 et la Canon HV30, mais il y a l'équipement (rail, adapter,..) qui complique les choses. J'aimerais bien voir ton systeme (photos?)
Une chose qui m'inquiete : le video du D90. J'ai lu beaucoup de negatifs (shutter, jello-effect,..) .Mais d'un autre coté, j'aimerais faire la photographie autant que des vidéos. Conseils?

Thanks!

Roland, c'est toi qui m'as inspire a finalement prendre une D90. Je suis suppose la recevoir apres demain. je me demande si t'as des piches secretes quand tu filme, tes videos sont les meilleures ici. Mon seul doute c'etait apropos du 'Rolling Shutter' et de la duree d'une batterie chargee a plein.
STP fais moi savoir c'que tu penses ok?

Merci bien

Thanks Mister...
Wow... full of info... will start the reading tonight. i just hope to shoot like you one day :)
I have the kit, 18-105... why do people bother buying for example a 50mmm f1.8? since the kit covers all those focal ranges?

Ben dis donc, j'ai oublie de t'addresser en Francais. Desole. j'aimerai continuer en Francais, je prefere de toutes facons :)

Roland, je pense qu'avec ce footage et d'autres photos prises par un ami avec un D80 m'a convaincu d'opter pour le D90. Mais j'aimerais savoir si cette camera est efficace pour faire du timelapse et si elle possede le 'auto-bracketing' pour faire du HDR. Comment tu le trouve en 'low-light conditions' ? Aussi, ou l'as-tu acheté; je n'ai pas encore fait le tour des magasins a montreal pour comparer les prix avec ceux offerts sur le net
Juste quelques questions rapides, je n'ai pas encore eu le temps de lire la liste des specs au complet :)
Thanks & Happy new year to you and your family!

Salut ZhiC, concernant l' "Auto Bracketing" j'ai trouvé cette information sur le net:

"I don't know if Nikon engineers wanted to, but they fixed this problem. Now you can have an "auto bracketing" in self timer mode. In menu C3 choose self timer and in same menu select the number of shoots you want to take with self timer. This feature (number of shoots) does the trick. Set it to 3 shoots and (to make bracketing easier) set self timer to 2 seconds. "Engage" bracketing. Press shutter relese button and Nikon D90 takes 3 shoots automaticaly. Each exposed differently, as you set it in bracketing option. Nice, ha? "

Avec une lentille plus rapide je trouve la D90 en condition "low light" très bien. Avec un peu de "twiking" tu peux arriver à d'excellent résultat.

Elle ne possède pas de fonction pour le timelapse, par contre tu peux te procurer cette accesoire qui permet le timelapse sur une D90 (Continuous Shooting with set interval function (1 second-100 hours))...

amazon.com/Timer-Vertical-Battery-Remote-Control/dp/B00192NV0Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1222253292&sr=1-3

J'ai acheté la mienne chez vistek.ca en Ontario avant qu'elle ne soit disponible au Québec...(3 semaines avant) j'étais trop pressé de l'avoir :)

Your video was instrumental in me making a decision to buy this camera and I have shot 2 music videos on it now. It is now my camera of choice :-)
Watch my video here vhprecords.com/vhprecords or no my profile. Not sure how to link it from here.

Thanks Roland and thanks for the link as well. Now I would bookmark it. I've added your feed to my rss reader now :-)

Good Stuff man, I'm going to use this with my Panny HMC 150 and Letus kit since i rarely shoot 1080p,60p,30p,24p.

Would love to see this in slow motion ... would add some "drama" to match the music! :)

Great work...r u planning to sell ur Dof adapter?

thinking of getting this camera but have heard and scene a lot of jellowing and flickering, but on some vids, yours included have none of that. I have also heard you can not lock the ap or exposure but from your vid looks like you have, could you explane? main purpose for the camera? video or pics. any info will be much appreciated.. The wife wants a new camera and I want a new HD camera without breaking the bank.

You can lock the exposure by setting: AE-L on hold when you press it: Menu > Custom Settings (Pencil Icon) > f (controls) >> Assign AE-L/AF-L Button > Ae lock (hold) > Ok, if you are careful while handling the D90 you can achieve footage without wooble.

I sold my FX7, now I use the D90 for both videos and photos. For me it was a good decision, I don't regret it.

Hi Roland. Few weeks ago i bought Canon SX1, but now i'm changing my minds. When i see at this video, i'm not sure if i don't know how to use my Canon, which btw shoots 1080i HD video, or just D90 is that better as i can see here. Tell me please, did you use some light, or some post production, or it can be recorded just like that? Soo film like, blur background(open aperture), incredible colors...how can it be done? Do i just have to buy Nikon D90 and i will have this, or there is something else. Sorry for long writing, but i'm very surprised. Thank you.

WOW i love that look i want one! Im getting one now.

Great results for hand held. I still need to dabble in the D90 video, have yet to do that. This is motivation to do so!

Roland,
These are some serious master pieces. May I ask you what your settings were.
Did you use any additional Ligt sources ?
Thanks in advance.

i like the colloring...
make me think to buy D90...:)

Roland,
Great footage.
I edit with CS3 also. How do you get the clips into Premiere? MPEG StreamClip?
Thanks for the help,
mike
