our dear Singapore Fireworks Festival. We need 15mins plz. :bsmilie:Hi, to what I know, when I watch movies, I seldom see a single scene last longer than 5 mins...do you have many of such long footage from your S5?
But I was reminded that if 1 wants to record a Musical/concert than may be yes...

Yah, its like concert loh. But then you can use lower resolution to shoot 20mins...comon, its 1 price for 2 quality function leh.
BTW, really hope some1 will hack the firmware to allow unlimited HD shooting.:bsmilie:

Cannot lah, the FOV is different, how to merge?
Actually if you watch how they broadcast fireworks in the News, its never a continuous scene/take, they are different takes at different bloom.
By the way for concert and musical, I would use another external audio recorder to record the music and then do PP to sync the music to the 5min footage together. In between video footage, add some transition to make up the time lost during the stop and start of the next 5min recording.

Buy one more D90 for standby...And link them up in a video editor!

don't get your hopes up - i think they are just guessing! also just their way of making sure you come back next week when they will say the same thing if it is still not in yet. right now, even the Nikon distributor doesn't know when it will come in. like you, i hope it will be sooner rather than later
I guess many vendors knows that Singaporean is extremely good in adapting to siutation and environment. Looking at what our Government did to us .... increase taxi fare, bus fare, ERP etc and we only complaint in the begining and soon forgotten. Taxi queue form as before, pay ERP as before... etc. Therefore, vendor try to do follow.
If we start to compare, Tax in US, be it income tax, VAT or employee salary is higher than us. Shop rental and salary in HKG is higher than us in sgp... so why should price of our comsumer products be higher !? Worst is that we are not talking abt a few percents difference but 20%-30% !
The world is getting smaller with info from internet and people well traveled these days. I will have no doubt but to get it anywhere in the world where it makes sense !

Yea, cost is only one factor, but if its high, the bottom line, which is the HQ line of defence for pricing strategy, will be high too. Brand competition for NIKON should be similar in SG as with the rest of the world. Market spending power, as of yesterday's news on the paper, SG Manager has lower spending index than HK, but their pricing is still lower than SG...Thats why I am think that the bottom line plays an important part for SG cam's pricing...but then again, pricing can take on the 薄利多销 strategy...really depends on the Marketing guys from Nikon SG lah...
You can record HD movie in 4mins, stop, record 4 mins, stop, record 4 mins, stop, record 4 mins stop....
Later just edit and join the video footage into one 16mins ... No?

But if audio is important, like musical and concert, you will need an external recorder to make sure you get the entire audio clip.

Its the era of HD, anything below 1/2-HD(1280x720) = no good. :devil:Yah, its like concert loh.
BTW, really hope some1 will hack the firmware to allow unlimited HD shooting.:bsmilie:
but i will miss out the in-between 2-3sec for the stop. :sticktongYou can record HD movie in 4mins, stop, record 4 mins, stop, record 4 mins, stop, record 4 mins stop....

But it's full frame (Super35mm).

I think if you keep the cam there for 15mins without changing the FOV and angle of view, viewers will get bored. What do you think? Fireworks is not that critical in my opinion, its a concert that is more critical...
Yah, the full frame + the range of lens selection is really unmatchable...the movie quality difference will be just like the difference between a DSLR from a PNS still cam. But may be if you are happy with the PNS type of video, then its ok.

I think it has lens distortion correction also. Just hoping they put in in-camera defish in the next firmware. ;p

This is good news! Thanks for sharing!
I know there is in-cam PP, one of them is artificial Fisheye. Defish is possible if only for the Nikkor 10.5, if for every other fisheye lens, it will be a challenge...
