Nikon Camera Blurs the Lines

Nikon is releasing the new D90 next month and it is basically being billed as a really awesome camera for non-professional photographers. But in today's world of iReport, blogging, and citizen journalism, I'm not sure if it really matters anymore as long as the content rocks.

Most important: the camera is the first SLR with the ability to record video.

That's an awesome tool to have when your editor wants you to be a one man show. It does make me wonder if it could eventually change how we all take pictures. Remember when there was a time when you couldn't chimp? Maybe people will soon talk longingly of the days when they still took single frames instead of pulling an image out of their video take.
