Nikon D90 Test Reel

Grandath Films test reel of the Nikon D90

I took @jasonjclement‘s Nikon D90 out for a video test drive yesterday. It performed very well, I must say. The following test reel is shot with a Nikon 18-200mm f1:3.5-5.6, no color correction. While I like it immensely, and believe Nikon is a superior camera for stills, all reviews say that the Canon T2i is a better fit if your sole intent is shooting HD video (which is what I’m doing), so I’ll be purchasing that unit, and likewise plan on reviewing it for you later. But either camera would be a great addition to any arsenal. ch:
