Following hot on the heels of Canon's announcement of the 50D, Nikon yesterday announcement yet another new DSLR model, the D90.
What makes this one special is it's ability to capture video, the first DSLR to have the ability, at 24fps HD with sound using any Nikkor lens attached to the camera.
It will be interesting to see how it performs up against the Canons especially for astro work but it does seem that Nikon is giving Canon a run for it's money lately.
Good !
Competition is a healthy thing and the consumer will benefit.
Movie mode will make it handy for those astro situations where one wants to capture footage of an event not just photos.
