The heat is on at Nikon, they are finally discussing adding 1080p HD to their DSLR’s. Johan Kling, head of Nikon Sweden was recently interviewed by kamerabild on the topic of adding HD video to their DSLR’s. Here is a translated quote from the interview. Sounds like 1080p HD is still some time away for Nikon.
“Being asked if they have learned anything from the movie function in their cameras so far, he says that there’s an incredible amount of knowledge being obtained in the last couple of years, and that this is fed back to the developers in Tokyo. He cannot comment on the specifics of this, but it’s related to format, stereo microphone, handling of movies in the camera such as retouching abilities in-camera, etc. They have taken their first steps with respect to this and it has been an enormous success with movies in DSLR’s, he says, and we will see even more of this in the future.”  If this info is being fed back to Tokyo, they might want to check the translation.
