For quite a few years now, many low-grade non-professional digital cameras have possessed the ability to take not only still frame images but video clips as well. However, for the most part, professional-grade digital SLRs have remained focused on their core competency (still images) without expanding into video.
In 2008 Nikon changed this trend by announcing the D90, the first DLSR with video capabilities. This impressive innovation sprouted from Live View, a technology present on Nikons, Canons and many other models that allows you to preview and take shots using the camera’s LCD screen rather than the viewfinder. Nikon basically took Live View much further with the D90 by recording the images that the screen was taking in at a high frame rate.
Shortly after the D90 was released, Canon responded with the amazing 5D Mark II, the most recent update to Canon’s legendary 5D. So began the battle of the VDSLRs, an entirely new breed of camera (and a mouthful of letters). Today there are quite a few VDSLRs on the market (and several more planned for release) ranging from just over $600 at the base to up above $5,000. I chose five (two Nikons and three Canons) to examine and compare. We’ll begin with the one that started it all: the Nikon D90.
