SLR camera shoots high-def movies, too
When I first got my Canon 5D DSLR I was disappointed to discover that it couldn't shoot video. Why could my $750 Panasonic LX1 with Leica lens shoot 640 x 480 video at 30 frames-per-second, but my $2500 Canon can't I wondered.
Enter the Nikon D90
New Nikon SLR camera shoots high-def movies, too
By PETER SVENSSON – 1 hour ago
NEW YORK (AP) — Nikon Corp. on Wednesday launched the first digital still camera with interchangeable lenses that also shoots movies.
The D90 single-lens reflex camera, or SLR, takes 12.3 megapixel stills, but can also shoot movies in the high-definition 720p format. It will be available in September for $1,000 without a lens.
Compared to a consumer digital movie camera, the D90 will provide extra versatility for a videographer, since different lenses have different looks and applications.

Most excellent, but - there will always be a butt.
Wonder if the camera will have a light compensation feature, like most video camera's, wonder what the sound quality is like ?
Too bad, Nikon isn't using the same LCD screen as on the back of the Nikon E8400.
