Nikon's soon to be released D90 is going to have a video mode. It will record at 1280x720p at 24fps. Does this seem like decent planetary pictures will be possible with this DSLR? What are your thoughts?

Kerry, While the D90 may give excellent resolution at that frame rate, the actual recorded image size will most likey be too small to matter. I have a D70 and it is approximately the same as a 27mm eyepiece, which is around 1/7th the size of a Toucam image at f10 prime focus.

Regards,
Steve
