Flash Player Supports H.264 & Nikon Has 2 New Cameras

So I’ve spent the better part of the morning trying to decide which one of these news stories was more interesting to me:

On one hand we have Nikon releasing two new cameras – the D3 and the D300.
While the sizes are not in line with Canon’s release of the EOS-1DSs Mark III which comes in at a whopping 21 Megapixels – who really needs that kind of size.. I mean, honestly (I’m just jealous). 3” Viewscreens, good frame per seconds, high ISO… it’s going to be great.. [Links are going to DPReview, thanks guys.. great site)

Now, on the other hand, we have Adobe ramping up their Flash Player 9 to have H 264 Standard video support - code named Moviestar.
This is great because it opens up High Definition delivery of content through the Flash Player - something that we can take advantage of from the entire Adobe suite [hopefully].

Just imagine: Chocolate Rain and The Evolution of Dance – in HD…

Have a great day everybody!
