Nikon D90 announced, also 18-105 DX lens
"C J Campbell" wrote in message news:2008082621454350073-christophercampbell@hotmailcom... Hands-on preview is on DPReview. Numerous improvements over the D80 it replaces. 12.2 megapixels, self cleaning sensor, faster frame rate, movie mode, Live View, better autofocus, scene recognition, etc. In fact, this camera compares more closely to the D300 than it does the D90. -- I can see it now, a D90 with a Lowel Omni QH lamp on top, with a Sennheiser ME66 - K6 Shotgun Mic hanging off the side. A Petroff matte box on the lens, and the entire rig perched on a Steady-Cam Junior... shooting a YouTube video... |

I don't think VR, hand held will match the smooth moves of S-C, but VR lenses should be an additional asset for the D90 movie shooter. S-C is about moving the camera smoothly, not making stills sharp. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

And in fact there are optical stabilisers for movie cameras ... but they are of the flexible (filled) prisma type, instead of the 'usual' shifting lens type. -Wolfgang |

Now, here is something to think about: a DX sensor is close to "full-frame" in the movie industry. Now, if you had an anamorphic lens... Full frame in the movie industry has little meaning in this context as there is a plethora of formats, perforations/frame and associated lenses. And within film stocks, various frame sizes are used. I recall reading recently that 1970/80's movies filmed in half frame (2 sprocket holes high) to keep the film budget down, and digitized (recently) gave fabulous results. (American Graffiti, IIRC). Movies today are shot in 35mm (usually anamorphic but some spherical) and 65mm (spherical and some anamorphic). It's an engineers wet dream as the industry seems to love changing and playing... -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

With all the bazillions of people involved on the set, lighting, sound, marketing, etc, etc, is the cost of film itself really a significant contribution to the total cost of producing a movie? |

In simpler times and low budget efforts and constrained budgets (American Graffiti was expected to fail, but to help develop Lucas) it certainly is. Low budget movie making will go entirely digital to eliminate film and especially all of the handling that goes with it. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |
