The D90:
- can change lenses
- has a shallow DOF
The HD camcorder:
- has a deep DOF (like a digicam)
- has a powerful bright zoom (10x zoom, constant F1.8 or F1.6!)
- has much more controls for recording video
- has motorized zoom (if you try to turn a zoom lens ring, you will introduce wobble)
If I was a filmmaker, I would love the shallow DOF of the D90, but hate the rolling shutter wobbly jelly image. My friend skipped the D90:

There ARE, of course, motorized zoom lenses for SLRs - the Minolta xi series was such. It was slow and funny to use for SLRs... but put the same lens on a camcorder, and it will make sense!
Dslr video is virtually a half realized concept,it's nice to have but not practical as video cam replacement.- can change lenses

Pros:
01. Resolution is on par with a hd handycam based on d90 sample.
02. Giving you a pseudo film look because of shallow DOF.
03. You can achieve the nikon colour on your video.
Cons:
01. Fast handheld shot is a goner.
02. Limited recording duration.
03. Focusing nightmare for tracking/moving shot.
04. Eventhough can change lens,making it impossible to use long zoom due to camera shake unless static on tripod.
05. Mono audio.
06. Body ergonomics and handling is not suitable for video.It's a case not small enough and not solid.
In order to fully unleash the full potential of SLR lenses,you need a follow focus systems which you effectively control the focussing manually.But the body is just too unstable to implement such system and hampered by the wobbly jelly effect.
I think the only DSLR at the moment that can double up as video cam is the RED Scarlett which is targeted at the professional filmmakers.
