Video takes a lot of work to do well and generally requires a lot more

new set of software to edit (and good video involves a LOT more
editing than stills work).
Frankly unless you're a PJ, event shooter or somebody shooting clips
for personal use (video snapshots of kids/family/friends) Video on
DSLR's is mostly useless and requires skills that most still shooters
don't have and aren't interested in developing.
Personally I've shot a bit with both the K-x and now the A33. But the
results were shit, much as I expected. I don't feel like spending the
time necessary learning to get good at it, even though I've actually
got a reasonable amount of experience (I've been doing bits of video
on and off for 20 years now)

agree with all the above about the work and the quality not often being
worth it.
... but I did find it useful to sell a music box on ebay - because I could
give the potential buyers a link to youtube and they could hear the
music play and see it rotate and
prove to some doubting friends just how very smart my cat is :-)

but I did mine with the Canon p&s Sx120
