You obviously failed to read or acknowledge my reply three above yours

You have to be kidding. This statement is more accurate in the reverse; the only advantage inhering in your HF-10 is the higher resolution, and perhaps the AF.
Which is what I said, with the exception of the AF.
In every other respect, the D90 gives you greater quality and control over your image; heck, I can even choose the size of the cards I use.
I can use any size card I want too. Currently, I have 2 x 16 GB SDHC.
The very idea of using dSLR lenses to make movies suddenly makes the idea of video palatable to me. And as one poster has already mentioned, the wonders of the video feature are easily left untapped by those users who, like you, believe in dedicated machines.
Without any substantial evidence, you are assuming that the D90 is going to turn out incredibly stunning, artistic video.
That said, given the seamlessness of the video incorporation, it seems odd to rely on a cheap prosumer DV camera with a tiny sensor/lens, simply because it is a "dedicated" unit.
AVCHD, not DV. A reasonable assumption, but incorrect.
The D90 presents a rare situation where you can actually generate better content using a multi-purpose device. How would one do a fisheye on your HF-10? How about ultra-wide, or an f/1.4 shot? Will the quality of the images captured be as high as what I could capture on a 12-24, or a an 85mmf/1.4?
I dont know, and as I pointed out above, neither do you, unless you have been using a D90 under a NDA.
I think the D90 a technological coup, and a sign of things to come. It may be that real video professionals rely on heavy expensive video equipment, but the D90 represents the first time hobbyist videographers have had access to some of the same artistic choices previously available to big studios or dedicated filmmakers.
Quite possibly, and I have said at the top of this post, as well as three posts above yours, there have been some compelling arguments given here, some not as condescending as yours, and I am seriously re-thinking the inclusion of this feature.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that not the point of any fora; to openly discuss so that one may garner all points of view and related facts so that one can ultimately make an informed decision, or is everyone to be firmly rooted in their original posts, and not allowed to change their point of view?
