Re: OT: End of Prosumer Camcorders???

[Stu Siegal] "Actually, they addressed the need for high quality stills & web video from one unit a while ago.

http://www.usa.canon.com/app/html/HDV/XHA1/case_study_03.shtml

Granted, still photogs didn't throw away their DSLR's for A1's, and I don't think Canon really expect them to, but I'm sure the Trib wasn't the only one to take advantage of the A1 as a still/video news gatherer.

Forgive me if I'm missing your point, but I said all this in my previous post, didn't I? Photojournalists being pressed into shooting video for the web, still cameras that can take 'good enough' video for thte web and video cameras that can take 'good enough' stills, etc..



Regardless, the genie is out of the bottle with the 5d & 7d, and it's only a matter of time until either a wise strategy, an eye for opportunity, or the demands of the marketplace force them to integrate the best of their video features into a proper camcorder. "
Again, this is why I waiting to see what Red delivers next year because they stated they were building a camera that's equally at home taking both video and stills.
