Hi,
The wife wants to get a camcorder to film our new son for his grand parents to see (we don't live near any family). My question is, does the D-movie mode cut the mustard, or do I want to be looking for a dedicated camcorder. I see this as the perfect chance to upgrade to a D90, but the wife will go nuts if I shell out for one and the movie mode isn't too good. Would like to know peoples experiences with the movie mode and where better than the D90 owners thread.
Thanks,
Dan

@ Daniel.
Had to sell all my sony gear to pay for my wife's medical expenses, her brother who owns his own company said I should'nt have and very kindly reimbursed me. Thus as this was a once in a life time opportunity I researched what I wanted, I wont be buying anything major for quite some time.
I will take my time getting to know the in's & out's of the D90, hopefully having my questions answered by the nice people on this forum when the need arises.
my D90 arrived on friday so im a member of this club now.
A couple of things - can anyone recommend a good guide to buy for this from ebay/amazon etc.
Also, any thoughts on really cheap old manual focus lenses to mess about with?

until my wife gets seriously annoyed with me lol!!!
Finally made the jump to Nikon (from Olympus)
Treated myself to a brand new D90 (with 18-105), 50mm 1.8, battery grip and a sb600.
Going to take a while to get used to it as it's a big change from the Olympus (even the lenses screw on the opposite way! lol) but i can see a massive improvement over my e500 already.
I have seen some battery grips on ebay does it matter what brand of battery grip you use or should it only be nikon?
I dont think it matters, Mieke are a good "budget" brand, i believe thats the one i've got....Can be bought for £40ish if i remember correctly......
The Link Delight one off eBay is good (and cheap)
Just got one of those after being recommended on here and it is very good, nice quality and took 14 days for delivery
Just done a re-set on my D90 a couple of days ago and thought I would have a look if there are any interesting set up guides out there.
I have found the Ken Rockwell guide http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d90/users-guide/ that seems a bit overe the top colour and saturation wise having tried it?
Also found this http://www.outthereimages.com/images/D90_Setup_Guide.pdf which seems interesting.
Has anyone found any more or got any tips on setup?
