    Impressive - does the hand-held approach work better with a fixed lens? I get some shaking with my 18-105 when I hold it.

    This is a great example of the how good the D90 is for making little cameos.

    I think the music is a bit harsh for the subject, though.
  • Roland Cadieux plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Geoff, The hand held is not better with the fixed lens, VR lens are better for it, this shot was made with a monopod, a fluid head built into the base of the monopod makes for smooth panning actions. videomaker.com/article/12672/ Great monopod.

    And you're right about the music... :)

    OK, I'm convinced. The lens does indeed matter.

    Great wide open shots (especially at 0:50).
  • Roland Cadieux plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Martin,

    Yes the lens does matter... I have another Nikon f1.4 an AI manual lens, I will test it next weekend, I'm not fully satisfied with the AF 1.4D so far.

    gret video!!

    how did your test with your 50mm 1.4 ai lens go? was it anything close to the quality of the video above.

    in terms of video quality, what do you think the difference between the 50mm 1.4d vs 50mm 1.4 ai is? i'm trying to find 'tests' on the ai lens, but can't find 'em :(

    I like the focus to be on the eyes. That is harder to hold but looks the sharpest. For that reason I would have used F4. Your kids are major cute though. :o)
  • Roland Cadieux plus 1 year ago
    You're right, it would be easier to hold the focus at f4, at f1.4 its really hard to keep it especially with children, they move all the time :)

    Que de beaux souvenirs vont avoir ces enfants là...
    En effet le focus sur les yeux de Stéphanie est impressionnant. Et à mon avis: sweet child of mine est un bon choix de musique. :)

    Great video to show off the qualities of the D90. With shots like these, who cares about jello anyway? Did you jump through the displacement filter hoops when you edited this video? I didn't see them nasty staircase artifacts.
  • Roland Cadieux plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Matthias, no I didn't use any displacement filter. I did try the method show at DVxuser.com though.

    Great video and very inspiring. I can't wait to get some footage of my family (2 girls and 1 boy) tomorrow (just got the D90 two days ago).
  • Roland Cadieux plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Billy!
    I'm sure you will have great moments with your family and the D90 :)

    Hello, I am delighted the video. I just buy a D90, I am beginning to test the video, but all the videos I see with a lot of grain, I can say it can be?

    Thank you
  • Roland Cadieux plus 11 months ago

    Hello Roland, fist of all, congratulations on all your demo videos, they are all great!
    I was wondering if you`ve already tried the manual 1.4 on your camera, since it sells somewhat cheaper these days, and i prefer its construction, i was thinking of getting for video ude only, since its not AF ...
    cheers :)
  • Roland Cadieux plus 9 months ago
    Thanks, yes I tried some AI lens work great. you can find how to set and use them there: dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=146661

  • Roland,

    I've been studying your HD photographic work for some time now on Vimeo (nice work and thank you for sharing your awesome HD family images with us) I have noticed you have several cameras, adapters and lenses; my question to you is "which HD camera of all the ones you own and have shot with is your favorite (quality and photographic HD image speaking)? We are looking to purchase the Nikon D90 because it seems to me the one that gives you the best HD photography and quality for the price, am I right?
  • Roland Cadieux plus 8 months ago
    Thanks Norton,

    I sold my FX7, I like the D90, DOF in a small package, its perfect for me. If you manage to handle carefully the D90 and avoiding the wobble, you will love the camera.
  •  
  • Roland Thanks,

    I use to own a Panasonic HVX200, but got stolen after shooting a music video a few weeks ago... so I have no other choice than to look for another camera. But thanks to all the video's you've posted on the D90; it has really helped me make the decision of going with the D90. I also like your home made steady cam too :-) Thanks for taking the time to post your awesome videos.

    Hey Roland do you have any photography??
  • Roland Cadieux plus 7 months ago
    No, not for now :)

    Looking at getting a D90. The only thing is the type of video file it captures, I think its Motion JPEG, does this mess with mixing it with any other types of footage or do u just cross convert to another format.

    Btw Great video
  • Roland Cadieux plus 6 months ago
    Thanks! I didn't try mixing it with other types of footage yet.
