To me outside of a few true video users, the video features of modern DSLR are more of a spec sheet war.
Hey guys,
I do not want to feed more on this off-topic dialogue but I am sorry to see that respect for what others think or believe has degraded sensibly. I would beg of all here to write with respect to the rest of us. I have been following this thread for months or even over a year and still want to hear of what others have seen locally regarding Pentax gear.
From my view point, and speaking only of my own experience, having video in a DSLR is a plus. My use of my DSLR camera is probably 99% stills with video in the balance.But besides my personal experience with ocasional use of video, I have seen that video on a DSLR is desired by people majoring in college in electronic media. Also DSLRs are extensively used for their video capabilities by profesional videographers in my hometown, specially because they can use glass (primes) of the 1/1.2 or 1/1.4 kind. The bottom line is that there are a lot of us that wouldn't miss video in our DSLRs but that would be the case with a whole bunch of people that work with video. It doesn't matter if it is Canikon or Pentax or a different brand. Video in a DSLR is a plus and not only something for a spec sheet. this is my 2 cents of opinion.
