My main body is a D700 which has worked fantastically, namely for the high ISO capability. The D90 has reasonable ISO compared to the D700, but not too close. Why would I buy it then? The video. During the volcano trip I was able to shoot video and shoot photos with no extra wieght; one kit, two completely different tools. While the video that it produces (and the way it produces it) leaves much to be desired, the fact that I can produce video and stills from one package with not weight consequence is amazing, and I will be sure shooting a lot more video now that I have this tool.

Here is a montage of footage from the trip.

Shuksan…will have to wait http://jordanmanley.com/blog/mt-shuksanwill-have-to-wait/ http://jordanmanley.com/blog/mt-shuksanwill-have-to-wait/#comments Sun, 24 May 2009 19:33:17 +0000 Jordan Manley http://jordanmanley.com/blog/?p=227 I have been wanting to climb and ski Shuksan’s North-ish aspect all year. We decided to try for the North West Couloir, a line that seemingly doesn’t get skied often. Not even half way up the face, we realized that it was too icy to go ahead safely, and pulled the plug. The melt freeze cycle at this time of year makes everything a game of timing in order to be safe. Ultimately I think we made the right call, but defeat hangs over my head, and Shuksan calls my name, to which I respond, “we’ll be back!” Until then.
