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?

Given the expected shutter life of an entry level dslr, you should be
able to make about an hour of stop-animation video before the camera
goes in the trash bin. If it gets popular, then it might increase entry
level dslr sales considerably.

My nephew does this in collage with a D70... I'll have to ask how his shutter is
holding out!

Whats it cost to replace the shutter is the question...
