Being able to shoot HD quality video through Canon lenses is amazing. Normal video cameras have hardly any depth of field and a fixed lens. Being able to use prime lenses with fast apertures for less than$10,000 - $20,000 is a big deal and a big improvement. It sounds like you just do not know how to use it or take adavantage of it, but not having this keeps it from being a true pro camera, as a true pro would know why it is beneficial.

The technology is developed. R&D is done, and the 5D mk II will see that they recoup that. The movie mode is just a firmware thing, it requires nothing more mechanically than what is already inside any live-view equipped camera. So it costs literally NOTHING for Canon to include it. They risk people being annoyed that a 1-series lacks a feature (one that's even useful to some (Photojournalists chiefly, within the 1D target market)) that a lower end model has. It cost's you nothing. You don't get a choice it will be there. (and it will, Canon will not risk being out-speced by other manufacturers, chiefly Nikon, especially regarding an already developed technology) Just leave it turned off in the menu. Bill.

But I don't understand the third question. Do I want my DSLR to become one? No, of course not. Who has ever suggested it should? Why would it? Do I want to have video as an option? Yes. Why not? It might be useful in some circumstances. And if it isn't, well... you don't have to use it. Yes to both the first and second question. But I don’t understand the third question.

Do you really want your DLSR to become that?

Personally, I can't get over the lack of control and cruddy audio. But there's no accounting for taste and those who just want as much functionality as can be thrown in.

It is trivial to add it to future cameras since the technical challenges you mention have been solved and presumably amortized in...what? five DSLRs so far? But it has already been done.

I was afraid of that. Should have researched more before sticking foot in mouth. Obviously I don't shoot w/a 1D but wish I did. : ) Thanks Mark. I was afraid of that.

You cannot use both together at the same time -I work for Tv and a pro snapper - you fire the stills via email to the picture desk and you get your mini dv tape from a mini dv camera picked up by a dispatch rider to be edited they way the production editor wants it to be , Yes I understand there must be some use ,but only for a novice , if you are going to shoot an HD video via your stills camera you need a sturdy tripod and understand how to put a package together , or just use a flip camera , it is low res is possible to send via email, max 5 mins downsized in quicktime , otherwise the tv company will want to send a despatch rider to pick up the SD/CF card , a waste of camera space if you ask me -sorry about the rant !
