canon’s hv20 does that too. and it’s a camcorder

but here’s real usage of d90. looks great.

Could this be caused or accentuated by the use of stabilised (VR) lens?

This should change with shutter speed. Is the D90’s video mode fixed to a shutter speed? A faster one should have less wiggle.

That’s not good! I’ll stick to a regular video camera, thank you.

This is a result of using a electronic rolling shutter rather than a mechanical one. The photosites are scanned sequentially, and movement of the camera causes the next row scanned to be slightly misallined.

Certainly Canon will have a similar one, however, from clips I’ve seen, it appears a little less noticible. Canon has a lot of experience making video cameras, so they may have a slight advantage here.

As long as you learn to use the camera within its limitations, there should be no problem. If you want to wave your camera back and forth, no one would want to see your video in any event.
