Ha, it does movies (sort of):

"Stop-Motion Movie mode is a D-SLR first that enables users to create
stop-animation movie clips from a series of as many as 100 consecutive
JPEG picture files."

That's only between 3 and 6 seconds of video, depending on the frame rate, not
even enough to do 1 scene...

I wonder why they bothered?

(Standard video is either 24 or 30 frames per sec, cartoons can run as low as
15.)

You can set a program like Pinnacle Studio to load stills, set them to 32
milisecs or whatever, and load in 1000 pics for a scene, and it outputs a movie
clip.

Do they have a size setting of 1920 x 1080?? Or 720 x 480?

What kind of idiot would do this? I suggest to anyone looking at this
feature, go buy a frigging video camera, they cost next to nothing,
and you can cavort with the rest of your "kind."

It's not for taking video, it's for making 'stop action' animations - very
popular these days with DSLRs.

I know 2 people doing this, one uses a D70, the other uses film...
