Would any of you like a photo only DSLR or DSLM in 35mm for consumers or pros?
Poll would be more meaningful if you asked who would pay extra for a camera without video. Most people who complain about video on cameras aren't willing to pay the premium that a non-video camera would require.
But surely the point of photo-only would be to save on things like manufacturing in that you would not need to heatsink all that processor power for video etc and different internal architecture and in that case it is completely new manufacturing line, tooling, quality checks etc. And those costs would be amortised across fewer cameras sold.
My 40D had liveview, but Video in a DSLR was long from reality, it definitely does not need the same processing or sensor either.Perhaps a secondary question would be "how many people would like a photos only camera without liveview?" Liveview shares much of the processing as video, so if you're ripping out video, then liveview should go too.
