With the ability to record 1080p video at 30 frames per second and output uncompressed HDMI, the Nikon D800 is a camera made for videographers. And to prove it, Nikon has teamed up with photographer and videographer Sandro Miller to create the short film Joy Ride, an impressive looking six-minute video complete with fast motorcycles and a potentially graphic pregnancy scene. There's also a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the film, which includes a number of Nikkor lenses and, of course, the D800 itself. The 36.3-megapixel camera is slated for release this March for $2,999.95. And be sure to check out our early hands-on time with the D800.
