                        Haha. Nice one Hal! Sweet promo though. Let me go dust off my nonexistent video editing skillz

                        I’m pretty sure I’ll never win just by watching that promo video.

                        nice contest, too bad I don’t have a good video camera, let’s hope I”ll find one to rent for 140 seconds :p

                        wah. Why does Nikon want to reward people who are already photographically and cinematographically inclined? And what about those of us who prefer still photography (or who don’t have a video camera?). I hope they’ll put up a bunch of also-rans as well. Should be fascinating!

                        Those promo videos were bit too good. I imagine this is to promote the video features that all the latest DSLR’s have?  
And, I love Rainn Wilson…
