Whoa! Nikon corporation didn't want D700 to make movies... but somebody (exacly Olivier Giroux) wrote short computer program, NkVid, that downloads Live View from the camera and creates short movie clips. They are not so good as full HD movies captured by Canon's 5DmkII, but it is better than nothing.

Here is the link to our Youtube channel where we will be uploading short movies, mostly with invertebrates.

We also made some layout changes on our www page. Sorry still only in polish... but you can always look at the pictures ;)
