Agreed, Sonny. I have a Canon 5DII, which can do video. I tried it once.
The quality is great. Problem is, the autofocus DOES NOT WORK in video
mode! So, had to focus manually on the crappy focus screen (virtually
impossible) the 5dII comes with. Why bother. If I ever decide to shoot
video, I'll look into a real video camera.
