Well if (and hopefully when!) I buy a new camera which happens to have a video feature I am sure I would try it out just for fun and to see what it can do and there might be the odd occasion when it would be useful especially grabbing single frames from a sequence. That point about such cameras at major sporting venues is an interesting one. I believe that in the States "professional" cameras like a DSLR are already often banned especially if it has a big lens but what happens in the UK? I would be interested to know. One thing is for certain, the feature is set to stay and rapidly improve, just hope it is never detrimental to us still photographers.
