According to specs from Nikon.com.sg, it's video format is .AVI, Mono sound recording.
Not a big issue with sound as most 16mm & 35mm film cameras like Arri & Bolex doesn't record sync sound as well. The traditional clapperboard will be of good use again.

And in fact, the mono sound makes it easier to sync sound form a separate recorder.
The D90 will never replace any video cameras at this moment because of the lack of autofocus in video mode, so most event videographer will not use it.
However, the D90's video mode will have huge potential if you treat the acquisition workflow like traditional film. With the capability to use fast lenses, this video feature may put Nikon up in the league of digital filmmaking like the Red or Scarlet.
I am putting my purchase of the Letus Extreme on hold for now until I get my hands on a D90 to test....
Meanwhile, if a sub $1000 consumer camera like the
Canon TX1 can produce good videos, I don't see why this D90 can't produce high end film-like video quality.
