Now do skin-tones

I think Nikon does incredible work on the photography side of the house but they just cannot seem to get their video to look good

Exactly!

I normally hate photography product promo's but Nikon has impressed in the past and this may be my favorite one they've done

I always appreciate the thoughts and intentions of "people tell stories, not cameras" pieces, but they've become incredibly trite; Of course it's true! But that's not why ANYONE gets gear envy.

The truth is, while I COULD tell a good story with nothing but the camera on my phone, I simply do not have the control over the image I see in my head using my phone as I would with a DSLR or a pro-level camera, and that's just as much part of the storytelling as anything else.

I can hack away at a t2i to get the kind of DOF I want in an image by getting long lenses and a focal reducer, but I simply won't get the richness of color that I wanted or the frame rate I wanted, or the format I wanted by using the t2i. Nothing wrong with it and it shouldn't keep you from making movies or telling stories, but this line about gear not mattering is simply untrue.

I wonder when they'll release some footage - kinda unlike them to not release some sample films with it
