@Go Wild - really like your trailer! Antarctica and all the penguins and seals, very nice! Is that big solitary seal towards the end a sea leopard (
Hydrurga leptonyx)?
grats & all power to you and whatever gear works for you.
Nevertheless I still think only a minority of "regular" (non-video centric) camera buyers ever uses video capture "seriously". I am still convinced that a choice of some "pure stills" cameras would be good and they'd sell very well.
Thank you so much! Yes it is a Leopard seal!
Yes, you are right, probably around 60% of camera buyers, don´t use video, or don´t use it very often....But in the same way, most of the buyers, will not buy a camera that hasn´t video features...even if they don´t intent to use it.
However, the fact that there is video on it, open´s you more possibilities...And now, people will consider a "downgrade" if a camera don´t have video features.
I understand your point, I remember when I bought my first Canon 5D mkII, the first "real DSLR" with video features, i almost never use the vídeo... At that time I felt like you, "Why do i need this?" But then i started to realize that video could be an interesting thing to business.
Then, in 2015 i started to work more seriously in vídeo and in 2016 I have made a complete wildlife documentary in North Pole with the 5D mkIII and the 7D mkII...(well, also with a DJI Osmo)...Also at the same time I have made a Book. and that´s the magic of these cameras....you can have both!! After I realize the potencial of this, never look back, and I always purchase now a camera that gives me the best of the 2 worlds, that´s why I am a little bit angry with Canon...
I hope Canon give us soon a great pro camera. Well, and hope they can give you a cheaper one that can fill your wishes and needs!
