No one, can win an argument if they are on the wrong side, and thus I have already one.
Allow me to prove why it is not a gimmick.
You can call an apple a 'blablah' all you want, but if others don't start using the word blablah to refer to the apple, you are just in your own little fantasy world.
The same with the D90. You can call it a gimmick all you want, but if others don't start calling it a gimmick you are just in your own little fantasy world.
I claim that I, among others, have a use for the video feature in the D90. Like I keep saying, you obviously can't see the point in it, but others can. Others would put it to good use!
So, keep calling it a gimmick, but you're in your own little fantasy world.
OK, I'll call it a "Toy" feature instead, since it can't really be seriously used as an HD camcorder replacement. "Toy" feature can be used a lot, but not for anything really serious, other than artsy fun shots, or candid YouTube clips here and there (although YouTube isn't High Def yet.)
And what does Nikon have to do with Apple? Or do you really want to get me started on Apple.

Oh nono, not the company apple, the fruit apple.................
We can use an orange instead.............
Ok, I'm happy with that description. It is a toy feature. For those who can get by with it, it will save them from buying a budget HardDrive video camera. My work required only the most basic short video clips (and lots of them), so it would have been great especially since I would take a picture of it, and would also shoot a short clip of it in action. Instead of setting the camera up, and then setting up the camcorder, I could do it all from the camera.
I don't D-movie is meant to replace HD camcorder. And just because it can not, it doesn't mean it's a gimmick. I would define gimmick as something that doesn't add much value to the product. I think d-movie too useful and versatile to be dismissed as a gimmick.

Yes, I prefer oranges as well. Mmmmmm.
Toys aren't a bad thing, quite the contrary. Toys are FUN.
D-Movie on the D90 is a boon for Macro movies. Fixed focus on a tripod is prefect for not having autofocus. And you can use killer lenses for awesome Macro movies. And more than 5 minutes per clip of tiny things can get pretty boring.
Speaking of Macro, I'm still debating between the 105mm Macro or the 60mm Macro Nikkor lenses. I think I'll play around with my new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 for a bit until I get used to it, and then get a Macro lens when the "new toy feeling" is gone.

Its f/0.95 not 1.0 big difference. lol

My advice to you:
- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.
I wonder how it actually performs wide open..............
With a price like that though, I won't be trying it any time soon. ^_^
If you look at this dude's flickr page, that's pretty much how it performs wide open. But I suggest you not to visit the page though, or else you'd be tempted to get one but realise it's wayyy to expensive to get one and you'll be disappointed instead. Like me.
PS: Not sure if you guys are interested or not, but just letting you guys know that I might get banned or my account deleted from photo.net because I just snapped at the moderator, haha...
Luckily I made backups for all my pics there already.
I'm trying to decide between D90 and D300. I was originally planning to get D90 but looking at the price, D90 is going to run around $1300 (CAD) including tax which is around how much D300 go for used. I really like the video feature on the D90 tho. hmmm
I would be hesitant to buy a used camera that's a new model like that. I'd be afraid someone was just trying to dump a lemon on ebay. I think I'd prefer a D90 under factory warranty myself.
