Nikon Dark Forces with Nikon D90 -- Yoda's Training

2008-09-15
What did Yoda say to Luke Skywalker when he switched from Nikon to Pentax?

"Your VR lenses, you will need them not."

"Don't be too tempted by the Dark Side, may the Pentax SR forces be with you"

With the continued tempatations. Luke SkyWalker tried to borrow the stick from Master Yoda and made a monopod out of the good old stick from Master Yod. And he asks Master Yoda to teach him to shoot with steady hand without VR. And Luke compromises on his 1/4th second hand holding shutter limit capability and intend to stay strong with the Nikon dark forces of marketing.

Temptation still runs strong and Luke comes to Master Yoda for better advice. Master Yoda snaps him on the face and quickly grab back his stick. He then pads on Luke and say, "Luke, are you nuts! I need my stick for the movie. I look old and I can't do without my stick. The hell with your Nikon dark forces." And Luke replied, "my Master Yoda, you look younger without the stick, you may find girlfriend easier. No need to hide in a movie." And Master Yoda thinks for a moment and kicked Luke from the bottom, "What girlfriend, there isn't any of my kind." Luke pointed to Wall-E and Master Yoda is furious and hit Luke harder and completely whack him from top to bottom. His Nikon thoughts vanishes in a sub-zero second rate but the misery remains.

Luke disappeared into the dark journey with a fainted heart but a good lesson from Master Yoda. He keeps thinking what he should have done with the mess he has created with his master. Stick no more! His hands now shakes faster than his Nikon can burst in 4.5 shots per second. His head and butt hurts with the physical pain inflicted by the encounter with Master Yoda. His spirit is up though as Master Yoda asks him to clear his mind and conscience with Wall-E to get his thoughts straight. Wall-E follows the honorable request and keeps company with Luke and cheers him up with lots of movie on demand from Wall-E collection. And Luke recovers gradually with his vision, thoughts and senses.

Luke finds peace with Master Yoda walking with a stick like before, and they are coming for a reunion to plan for the Nikon dark forces attack with D90. Luke is with Yoda and stays strong against the Nikon dark forces. He trains himself up with Wall-E who helps him with video and movies in supersonic definition in the latest camyoda format not found in D90. And Wall-E always have great movie capture from 8mm, hi-def to supersonic definition on demand and on-archive.

Life seems not as bad as we thought but the questions remain with others tempted by the latest Nikon dark forces with Nikon D90.

Nikon D90 is tempting

2008-09-10
I am frequently tempted with new cameras and gear. I am proud Pentaxian who loves Pentax gear but I have got to admit the excitement when I see the news about the upcoming release of Nikon D90. And I saw this video that tempted me even more.



I am especially impressed with the following:
  • Movie in dSLR
    The first of a kind in integration of movie into a dSLR system. And it is hi-def video with 720p. This is something that as a point & shoot enthusiasts who uses digiial camera with a dual purpose of occasional movie , this newly added capability from Nikon is a welcome feature for me

  • 4.5 FPS, Nikon D3 heritage
    Though it is not as fast as Canon 40D or the Nikon D300, 4.5 is good enough for me. With the fast auto focus from Nikon, I envision a very capable system

  • Price, Weight, Design for Serious Enthusiast
    Nikon gear tend to be more expensive than others, but the listing price closer to 1K seems appealing to me when I compare that with Pentax K20D. I for one don't want to go for Nikon D300 and D700 as they are meant for professional and I personally prefer lighter body with design and features geared towards enthusiast who shy from higher end models due to price. The D90 seems a perfect fit for the complicated mind who loves photography.

And Ben had a lot of fun playing with the flying ball that is blown out on air in San Jose Discovery Museum

With a point & shoot, I got some crazy idea one morning with an early bike ride. Video-taping the ride. Yes, why not! How can I bring along my camcorder? Here is my first attempt with my digital camera Casio ex-z750 in normal movie mode without post processing.

While taping, I have little idea how it goes. But the thought that we will never fail in trying is with me. Life should be fun and it should be recorded and shared as such.
If the gear helps in a different way with a dual purpose, that is a great idea. We should embrace for a different thinking.

Nikon is so smart as a company in getting video in Nikon D90 as the first dSLR with movie capability. Is Nikon a camcorder company? Hello, anyone in Canon camp thought about this? The elitist would always pull in the direction that they don't care about video. Sure you care! Ask your beloved spouse and see if a dSLR is worth the upgrade which allows you to take babies' birthday and weekend hiking video besides the main stuff that we all photographers care. Guess what the wife and husband satisfaction factor can add to the purchase decision. Canon and Sony both have the technologies but they are surely behind in the smart thinking of Nikon D90 with the new direction that is non traditional. It is a refreshing and welcoming change from Nikon to embrace the integration of technology.

My friend has it pre-ordered from Amazon and I should have a first hand review about Nikon D90 come October. Please stay tuned from a report of Nikon D90 from a Pentaxian.
