I never use video on my Camera. I mean already taking a good photo is difficult... But just having a 2-3 minute good movie take hours of post processing time to not be too boring... it also require lot of shooting time too.
The irony... The one time I was thinking that video feature could have been usefull for me was to take some record of some conference we make from time to time... I have the required tripod if needed... I could buy some microphone for the sound... And the APSC sensor would provide good quality even with average lighting level. Didn't need any reframing, moving or refocus so the need was pretty basic.
Turn out that there is 20 minutes hard limit on a movie lengh... So that not good for 2x 50 minutes of recording...
The only time I could have make use of video recording with my camera, I could not use it. And this limitations is apparently here on all camera, not just the Pentax.
