Even a fairly tacky piece done on video has far more potential (internet and tv) than a photo. It saves the hassle of carrying around both, and due to the large sensor on the d90 (1.5x crop) you'd get good low light performance, nice DOF which adds to a professional look, and probably higher perceived resolution. The only problem with my argument here is that the d90 is not a professional camera...consumers will like video, and it'll only be a matter of time before pro cameras have it. Consider it testing the market.

I doubt it though; it probably refers to the photography element...

The Casio EX-F1 is a good example of this kind of convergence. I was seriously considering buying one, but if the Nikon D90 will shoot HD video, even only 720 format HD, I will not bother. Right now I am in wait and see mode, especially since I am very happy with my compact Samsung NV24HD which shoots 720 format HD video as 30fps. It sure is nice to have an ultra-compact HD videocam with a 24mm equivalent wide-angle on it that just happens to be able to shoot 10 megapixel still photos. ;-) Many people would prefer to carry one piece of equipment capable of shooting both video and high quality still photos.

It's wonderful to use with manual exposure setting. It makes it very fast to adjust exposue, I use it all the time with my G9. No need to look for the brightest spot and spotmeter it to avoid blown highlights. Just go for the correct white point placing.

Does anyone bother to ask if compact digital cameras are still photo cameras or video cameras? I think not. No one will be asking, "Is it a video camera or an SLR?" next year. The built in microphone can be seen in the photo of the left front side of the D90 elsewhere on this blog or on mine. It would be a nice extra touch if Nikon also provided a stereo microphone input too. ;-) It appears that it will be a DSLR with some video capability.
