The first DSLR with movie mode. I had one, sold it about a year ago as it was very disappointing. I only ever shot one thing with it&#8230;this below..It actually put me off getting the Canon 5DmkII for 7 months due to that too not having manual controls! I can&#8217;t shoot without manual controls!!!.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1740085?color=ffffff\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/1740085\">Nikon D90 test<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/philipbloom\">Philip Bloom<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The lack of manual controls, 720p mode, motion jpeg&#8230;.the D300s&#8230;no good either. The D3s though&#8230;lots of issues still, BUT had the most amazing low light ability I have ever seen. Clean video at 25,000 ISO due to a noise reduction chip so I bought one.<\/p>\n<p>You see I was a Nikon guy way before I became a Canon user (actually Pentax was my first SLR!) and I have stacks of Nikon lenses due to my 35mm adaptor days too. I have been wanting Nikon to rise to the challenge ever since the 5DmkII came out and they simply have failed to do so at every opportunity. Now the D7000 is the start of a shift in this. It&#8217;s a crop sensor and it finally has full HD, we have H264 recording (not ideal still but better than MJPEG), clips up to 20 minutes, true 24p&#8230;but unfortunately 25p is only available in 720p mode. As a European shooter that&#8217;s a real bummer. We NEED FULL HD 25P please!! That is out broadcast standard. Bit rate worries me if it can do 20 minutes of H264 on the FAT32 card&#8230;The Canon can only do 12 minutes which means it must be around half the Canon bit rate? Also no in camera slow motion like the T2i\/550D, 7D or 1Dmkiv as there is no 50p and 60p, a big omission&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Now I have heard but not been confirmed that aperture can only be set before you hit record&#8230;I hope this is not true! ALTHOUGH..not an issue for me as all my lenses have manual apertures! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t even touch on the stills aspect of this camera as I am sure it&#8217;s just superb, every Nikon I have shot with has been&#8230;but it&#8217;s the video part that I have been waiting for&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s impossible for me to review this camera right now as I have never seen one and never shot with one. I don&#8217;t really want to buy one for just a review as that would be silly and I don&#8217;t know what it offers over my Canons as yet. I have yet to read reports on the rolling shutter, the moire, the aliasing or any of the other issues I have with the Canons&#8230;but if anyone at Nikon or a retailer wants to loan me one I am keen to take a look at it as I am sure many people would like my thoughts on it. I already have the lenses, a full set of Zeiss ZFs, great zooms too&#8230;just no decent Nikon DSLR video capable camera&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It really is about time Nikon stepped up their game and this is the start. Now we need a full frame variant WITH that D3s noise reduction chip. Now THAT would get me frothing at the mouth!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chasejarvis.com\/blog\/2010\/09\/nikon-d7000\/\">Here is a cool little film that the very talented Nikon photographer Chase Jarvis has shot&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"640\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/rMbBKukJzBk?fs=1&#038;hl=en_US&#038;hd=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/rMbBKukJzBk?fs=1&#038;hl=en_US&#038;hd=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"640\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/UNKtFkX29IE?fs=1&#038;hl=en_US&#038;hd=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/UNKtFkX29IE?fs=1&#038;hl=en_US&#038;hd=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dslr-gear","category-dslrs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10920\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
