Looking on the Nikonrumors.com page this morning to find out that the Nikon’s very own D700 can shoot video aswell?

Looking further into the post finding out that the rez of the video was a tad bit low. 30% smaller than 480. Its a bit small at the moment, but you never know maybe with more development maybe it can reach 720p.
