<p>I think what those of you saying "don't like it; don't use it" are failing to realize, is that as video goes into more and more dslrs, places that do not allow video i.e. concert venues, sporting arenas, and others will ban these cameras. <strong>This is why you will never see video on a pro dslr.</strong><br>
<br /> I'm fine with video on d90s and lesser cameras, but I definitely do not want video on my d700. I want the flagship nikon (d3, but d700 is pretty close) to be focused (no pun intended) 100% on still photography. Bloat the entry level cameras all you want with miscellaneous features like video and touchscreens but don't waste R+D on something that is merely a sideline to the actual function of the camera.</p>
