Nikon D300s Sample Video
We’ve just discovered two fantastic Nikon D300s sample videos courtesy of Ami Vitale and Robert Bösch, recorded whilst reviewing the D300s for Nikon. Both D300s videos appear to be exceptionally high quality – even after web optimisation.
Update 06/10/2009: Read our Nikon D300S Review!
The D300s may only record 720p resolution video, but if the clarity is this impressive straight out the box then it’s going to be a real winner. Video quality aside, just a quick re-cap why the Nikon D300s is superior to the D90 & D5000 for video: Contrast-detect autofocus while recording and the external microphone terminal. You can learn more in our Nikon D300s blog post.

These look really bad. I am hoping to get this camera but will not if this is all it can do in video mode. Looks like about 8fps a la Super 8 video, and the image quality is very disappointing compared to 5D II samples.
Live MHi Live M,
In my opinion the quality looks good, compared to the D5000 & D90, and considering the D300s samples have been web optimised / compressed to H.264 FLV.
Guess we’ll all have to wait to see 5D II vs D300s sample videos using the original uncompressed output.
Oliver (author)I found this amazing clip. The video and stills were captured using a Nikon D3S! http://vimeo.com/9337388
James HuntThe D3S is sooooo awesome. This video highlights just how good the camera is http://vimeo.com/9337388
