NIKON D-5000 Video Example (HD 1280X720)

I just purchased a Nikon D-5000. I paid Just under $700 for the body, 18mm-55mm lens, and camera bag. After I got home from the store and as soon as the battery charged I ran out to try to catch golden hour. The video here are the very first video shots I took with the camera. I will admit it could have been worse but you can see the jerkiness and wobble on the fast panning shots. Also, some noise is visible on a couple of shots. I had not yet got past many of the automated features in 'movie' mode so stuff looks a little wonky. Still though this is a pretty good value because the camera is a good DSLR with an intervelometer. I read several reviews about the mono audio signal not being great but for amateur cinema it is perfect as a scratch sync track. Good audio should be recorded separate anyway.

Please note that the video was not exposure or color enhanced. The image is raw from the camera.

This song is awesome! is it an original?

[nathanielscott]

@dannyefernandez

Thanks. Yes, the tune is original. I am playing all the instruments except of course the drums. My drum machine is doing that.

What are your setting on?

- I mean, I don't think the quality of my videos becomes so good (I got a Nikon d5000 to)

I recall that for this video I had it set to manual settings but the exposure was automatic. So the iris would have been around f5,6, and shutter speed would have been 1/60th a second, and I think I was shooting mostly on the long end of the kit lens so around 55mm. Oh and the white balance would have been set for overcast.

What settings did you chose to export from final cut? I'm having trouble exporting. If you check out my last video you can see what I mean. PLEASE HELP!!

@Nogert "wobble" effect is called "rolling shutter"

I think it happens with pretty much any digital video camera, but dedicated video camers do things to correct it? I may be wrong.

[Nogert]

I wouldn't recommend this camera for shooting video, there is a horrible wobble effect created when filming in artificial light, and if it's low light it ruins the picture quality.

Is it possible to shoot video of this quality with a like a Sony Cybershot kind of camera? It might sound like a stupid question but I really don't know much about cameras. Thanks!
