Originally posted by erikro I don't quite understand all this fuss abut video.
I have K-5, K-5IIs and K-3II and I bought them for taking pictures, non of them has ever been i videomode.
If I wanted to take video, then I had bought a videocamera!
But that's just my opinion.
I have a videocamera. A Panasonic HC-x900 which is/was a pretty good (FullHD) camera in consumer market.
It has a great 5 axis video stabilization, good picture quality and it offers some form of manual controls. It's great but compared to DSLR/mirrorless it lags a lot behind for DOF, picture quality in low light condition (it has 3 small sensors with (IMHO) too much resolution), freedom to chose lenses based on what I like to use...
So yep, you may not need/want to shot videos with a DSLR but... Others may want to and there're some reasons behind their preferenceses

But that's just my opinion!
