Scott,
The newer Nikons (such as the D90) have a video mode.
My 5D Mark II has full HD (1920x1080) video, and it is just astounding quality.
However, bear in mind that due to the size of your sensor, you'll need insane focal lengths to get a decent enough sized planet to grab video of. This is why the smaller chip sized web cams are more suited to planetary work. Have a look in the Solar System imaging section to see the kinds of camera and telescopes, people like Mike and Matt are using. To date, I don't know of anyone who's using the video modes in DSLRs for planetary work.
Regards,
Humayun
