Digital Cameras Nikon D90, $1,300 with 18-105mm lens This is the first single-lens reflex camera _ the kind that lets you exchange lenses _ that also records video. But Canon is hot on its heels with a rival model. Pros: Still shots at 12.3 megapixels are excellent. Movies are shot in 720p high definition, and the shooter can take advantage of lenses and manual controls that aren't available on most video cameras. Cons: Doesn't really replace a video camera. The video quality doesn't measure up to consumer-level high-definition camcorders, and there's no auto-focus in video mode. Audio is mono and of poor quality.
