My thoughts on using DSLR for movie work are still the same. The quality of movie footage from the D800 is of a very high order but as a publisher of BLuRay and DVDs my Sony NX5 (AVCHD format high def) Camcorder is so much easier to use and image quality is more than I need.
The D800 needs a lot of bolt ons to even compose and focus, also auto focus does not work well for movie and there is no steady-cam for hand holding! Zooming with a DSLR lens is also a no no. On board sound is also poor so you need to plug in a good pro mike through a portable audio mixer.....
