  New Nikon D90 avi quality

  Posted by Greg Lalonde on August 31, 2008 at 11:29 pm

  I am going to be picking up a Nikon D90 which has an AVI video mode on it. What issues should I expect in using this format on Prem. Also I have read the AVI format looses a ton of quality when used this way, how much will I loose?

  Suggest you not use the video capabilities of your D90 for anything mission critical, like your daughter’s wedding or God forbid a customer. The video from good still cameras is highly compressed to about 1.5 mbps compared to consumer camcorders at 15 to 25 mbps. Editing and recompressing video from any still camera will produce quality much lower than most any consumer camcorder. You can buy a Mini DV camcorder for about $250.
