you can have 720p or 1080i live view output through hdmi in Nikon DSLR

with its full scensor and its interchangable lenses its gonna give you the deep of field that many film maker are looking for.

look under :HDMI output / High Definition display

Wouldn't capturing HDMI out with Blackmagic Intesity from a DSLR blow away most prosumer video cameras?

If a newer Intesity card could capture at higher resolution, a DSLR sensor could really capture 2K, right?

Of course by the time you buy new DSLR and nice lenses, you're already up to $3-5,000 anyways which is where the better HD prosumer video cameras are selling.

Too bad I can't add HDMI out to my old DSLR!!!

you didn't read the fine print.

"My only disappointment would be that there didn't seem to be a way to display the image without any shooting information (except when magnifying), this means that the default display (top image below) is only using 74% of screen width (theoretically, given aspect ratio differences this could be 84% without the status lines at the bottom)."

Great for studio photography but not for video.

Also, I can't find any reference anywhere to the frame rate of Live View - I'd be surprised if it was a full 24-30 frames a second, since that would be overkill for it's intended use.
