Nikon D5000 HD Video

[ReefMP]

Personally I prefer a real video camera, however I found a great deal on a D5000 body and since I have a D80 with a few different lenses I'm considering it. What do you guys think of the D5000 HD video capabilities for taking vids of your tanks?

Not sure if the D5000's have the same issues, but I know several of the Nikons have the "jelly" effect when moving around and filming. If the camera is stationary/moving slowly, I don't see it being an issue however.

Thanks for the input, sorry for the late reply. I ended up picking up a small P&S that I can carry in my pocket when the DSLR is not practical. I got a Kodak SLICE, the HD video feature on it is not too bad for a small camera.
