Video: D700 video hack

Video Recording with the Nikon D700
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... The feed travels over the wire at 100fps (I measured), within which maybe 30fps’ worth are unique frames. Each frame is basically a NEF embedded thumbnail, each one is a fully-formed high quality JPEG file. The result has the potential to look as good (or bad) as a DVD, roughly. This isn't going to be a replacement for a real video camera, but if Olivier gets around to releasing the software, it should certainly be fun to play around with.

Although not quite HD yet, I’m sure the Nikon hackers will figure it out soon enough. Nikon D700 Video Samples
Record video with Nikon D700 and Canon Liveview EOS
MAKE Magazine —
... Olivier hasn't yet released his code, but the Nikon SDK is available for download and you can take a hack at it yourself while you're waiting.
It seems like it shouldn't be too long before there's a more official convergence between digital camera and digital video technology. It's all roughly the same optical technology. Why do we need two separate devices, with all their separate lenses and add-on equipment to record both still and moving images?
