I have my D200 still (and it is fantastic) but I'd love to be able to check out that video mode. I'm getting my wife a D90 for Christmas to replace her D40.

Canon and Nikon both make such great products and the competition between the 2 just keeps giving us consumers and pros better equipment to work with.

My friends that are Canon based are going to flip out to get this camera and rightfully so. It's a beautiful piece of kit.]]>Sep 18th 2008 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/

I would love to have one of these to complement my 1dmkIII... just so damn nice looking, just not the greatest for sports (though I shoot single frames most of the time anyway) and not good in the rain, but neither is the d700 (in any of these categories).]]>Sep 17th 2008 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/Sep 17th 2008 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/
The sensor is amazing, but the D700 has 51-AF points and does 8fps(with grip). Atop that only the center AF point for the 5DII can really utilize fast primes (2.8 and below) that Canon is so well known for (the rest of the AF points can't), not to mention that the spot meter isn't even linked to the focusing point (only the center).]]>Sep 17th 2008 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/Sep 17th 2008 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/17/21-1-megapixel-canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-with-full-frame-hd-video-ann/"...speed are barely better then the Rebel."

On the upside you have a high quality sensor and expensive lenses not seen on consumer video cameras. I think we will see some awesome new video clips with macro lenses and fisheye lenses. It will let you experiment more without more stuff to lug around.
