Nikon D90 Review 1
Nikon D90 Review 2













I have been lucky enough to be able to borrow one of my uncle's friends camera. A Nikon D90 which is a very good digital SLR which also shoots HD video. I have checked out a few review sites for the D90 and I have discovered that it is perfect for shallow depth of field which I think is very effective and I want to use in my video. It is very effective camera for what I need to shoot but it is also not very effective at any sort of moving shots, such as panning etc. What I have read up says it is imperative that you use a tripod with this camera. So I will borrow a tripod to ensure my shots aren't wobbly and that I can get some crisp shots with nice depth of field.

Video Resolutions



I have done some research into video resolutions to ensure I select the resolution I feel is right for me. I think that 720P is a good bet as the camera I have been looking at to use for filming exports at this resolution. I feel that for good quality I would like to film in High Definition and this is a moderate size for HD.
