the main camera body i shoot with (nikon d70s) is sadly starting to show major signs of aging. it'll intermittently lock up, and recently it garbled a handful of image files. definitely not acceptable when my business is on the line. while i was hoping i wouldn't have to buy a new camera body any time soon, it does give me an opportunity to look into the new video-capable bodies that have recently come to market.
i've been jonesing to shoot video for a long time now, and while reviews on the interwebs still poo-poo certain shortcomings of the video features on these new dslr's, the following video shot by jerome geoffroy on a nikon d300s absolutely convinces me that this is the way to go.
yes, i know there's no sound (the camera itself captures sound, as well as having an external stereo mic input). and that's not even the high-def version. can you imagine life magical videos? sooooo exciting.
