Nine months ago, I read a short story in Time magazine which extolled the virtues of the new Nikon D90 – a DSLR with the ability to capture HD video. I immediately called Nikon. I wanted to see this for myself.
Later that week, carrying no more than a camera body and a few lenses, my Studio Director, Blaine Deutsch and I set off to shoot a test piece – a look behind the scenes at Corey Rich Photography. After the first take, I quickly realized the amazing potential in this new camera. The image quality is phenomenal. The look of a million dollar production from a camera that costs less than $900.
Since that day, this camera has been used much more as we change the way we approach assignments. It’s amazing to think that we now can now capture the assets of a print campaign and a TV spot with a single camera.
