Annie, hello!
Please check the Nikonians org site for many of your questions. In particular there's a D7k video section and also quite a few D7k BIF threads that will interest you.
Cheers!

I second these gentlemen.

I traded in my kit 18-105 for an 18-200 and for stills and grab shot video it's fine.

But I...

David, hi!
I'd be interested to find out as well. Also what kind of HDMI to HD-SDI box would be suitable for this application, since I believe the NanoFlash is HD-SDI in only.

Mikael, hello!
Just FYI (and I go into way too much detail on the Nik site) the standard shutter speed for 1080p60 is around 1/100sec and not 1/25. 1080p at 24fps is 1/50th of a second. This has to...

I have one.
The D7k footage is H264 1080p24 only (in 1080), no 60i. That's about the only shortcoming I can see thus far. Like you I have a slew of Nikon lenses. Only the non-AI lenses won't work -...
