I thought video to be rather pointless but I've found I use it surprisingly often both above and below water to capture memories or behaviours that I just couldn't get any other way - mating/territorial displays, colour changing octopuses, mantas in water like soup that wouldn't allow flash use. The lack of a video option wouldn't (and didn't) prevent me buying a dslr but it would have swayed me from one manufacturer to another if only one offered it. I think canon will have felt they had to offer this.</p></blockquote><p></p>
