Interesting read at Ted's
Well I was in Ted's on the weekend having some shots developed. Which turned out quite good I might add. Although I need to do some tweaking with my monitor. However this is off topic.
While I was there waiting I decided to have a read of the Ted's Magazine/Catalogue to see what they had in there. They had all their APS cameras, printers and then I came to the section DSLRs. I had a look for the D70 to see what they had to say. Features: 6.1MP Blah Blah Movie Mode ???? (is this a new firmware update?  )
Geez you gotta love the guys at Ted's eh!
Re: Interesting read at Ted's
Yes, kipper! it's real! it will have new firmware, and only applied for the new batch of D70s and it's able to recording 8 hrs movie on one single 16Mb CF card, trade-ins your D70 now to get that D70 Birddog114

Kipper,
Yep. It's the Coolpix D70. Switch it into large size, jpg, medium quality. Drop in a 1GB card or larger, and away you go. Just hold down the shutter button and you'll have 2.5fps movies. g.

Yup, it's just not really a movie mode.
I'm editing a movie I've been working on shot solely on the D70 at the moment... it should be done in a month or so. Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Leigh I've seen you mention this a few times. Are you doing this to show off your prowess to some future employer or are you just being particularly perverse  Peter

I'm actually going to post it online, if I can...

Is it a stop frame animation involving lots of plasticene or pipecleaners? or something more creative??? Silly question I suppose... Cheers, John

Nup, I'm using humans... but obviously at a lower frame rate. I'm speeding it up to compensate though. I'm drawing cartoons over some of the people, too. It'll only be a short movie, around 3-5 minutes, but I've never had to write a script around footage I've already shot, so it's an interesting lesson for me as well as being an interesting idea to shoot a movie entirely on a D70.
It definetly leaves me with the ability to make a Superbit version (lol) seeing as the default size of the images in comparison to the default size of a DVD (pixels). Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Wow... they must have a lot of patience... Certainly sounds interesting... Cheers, John

Patience?
God no. I'm shooting the whole 144 frames that the D70 lets you pull, it's just a lot of Velocity filtered editing during the post-processing. Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

yeah ... ok ... huh? my karma just ran over your dogma
It means I'm shooting at the fastest the D70 will allow me to and then speeding the "film" up during editing.
It essentially ends up as laggy as phone video cameras do. Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

I would think it would be suitable grounds upon which to return one's 300D, were one to have one. Obviously everything else about the camera is so superior. g.

I watched a La Jetee (1962) last year at uni (for photography). It was still shots put together to make a story - I thought the idea was was pretty cool.
