USA price at Ritz is$1299Where did you see the pricing Stuart ?
Looking at the specs it seems to be able to exposure bracket up to 2EV, and is not limited to 1EV as the D300 is.
This is of interest to anyone shooting HDR image sets where the 1EV limit is annoying.
Interesting that rumours of a D3x or s announcement or whatever have not come through (yet).

Oh great, now we have a whole new set of problems! Whether we use strobes or videos lights?

I find it very interesting that it is Nikon that has released the first DSLR with video capability; I was sure this would be Canon's thing. A couple of months ago I had a discussion with the Canon rep for the Southeastern US about where manufacturers where going with cameras now that digital quality had achieved or surpassed film quality by just about every measure, and his response was that a big new feature would be high quality video capture utilizing large sensors and ultimately RAW image capture, along the lines of the RED camera. Think about the possibilities of being able to choose exactly the right frame ultimately in a camera the size of the D90. I think this is about to be the hot new thing as the one-upmanship of Canon and Nikon continues, now that the MP thing playing field is evening out.

Craig,For all of you who complain about all the photoshop work, you haven't seen anything until you've tried to cope with editing underwater video. You'll need a vacation from your vacation. Seriously...
Video lighting is a bear. The strongest focus lights we have are toys compared to what videographers need. Plan on getting much more friendly with your magic filters (not that that's a bad thing).
Finally, you'll like your 10-17 much less with video than you do with still, but the 12-24's and 10-22's still work poorly at large apertures. Wide is important with video.
I don't think the HD video guys are too concerned just yet. I think the likely result of HD video on a DSLR underwater will be a renewed appreciation for just how difficult it is to do UW video well. ;-)

There is nothing wrong with the 18-200VR on the D90. This was referring to the fact that the D90 has VR built into the body, so now the cheap 70-300 non VR lense becomes like a VR lense.
Will be interesting to see how the current VR lenses work on the D90. You probably don't want both systems active. One will probably be automatically shut off.

...where did you see VR was built into the D90 body? ....I must have missed that
