A neat trick, but certainly not an upgrade to me. Unless you like video of planes that are far away, and like others mentioned, with a DSLR soundtrack. And even if you mount a P&S that has video with optical zoom, who would be working it while the stills were being captured?
Eh, video from closer vantage points, such as Costco, would come out much better.
Just what I need...MORE content to go through at the end of the day! ;-)
..or get a Canon 1DX or Nikon D4 to capture full resolution stills while videotaping :P although the stills are limited to 1920x1080 :( which is a real bummer.
This feature was SPECIFICALLY designed for Photojournalists who are more and more being asked for both Video and Stills.
You gonna supply the $$ for it, buddy? :tongue:Quote:

Which is why I'm looking into it myself, though admittedly I don't think it does video any justice whatsoever.Quote:
