Aside from the price and low-light performance, the video capability
and in-camera HDR on my K-x were two of the biggest selling points for
me. In the ten months I've owned her, I've shot approximately 30
seconds of video and exactly one in-camera HDR capture with my K-x. I
wonder how many other buyers went in with the same intentions only to
discover that they're the least appealing features of the camera.

Hello list,
There seems to be quite a number of you folks out there who now have
newer DSLRs with video capabilities. It's been a year or more since
these cameras came online but I don't see any VideoESOs flying past in
the PDML.
Granted, I don't check the list as often as I used to and I don't read
nearly as many of your messages as I once did (I AM still watching you
though...Cotty... and Frank... and Doug) but I figured by now video
submissions would be a common occurrence around here.
Is video a gimmick feature that you just don't use?
Are your videos too racy? (let us judge ;)
Is making decent videos just too hard?
Or are you guys just too much the "old dog" type or even "purists"?
For my part, having at least six video cameras lying around the house
(I'm actually surprised by this number but I'm counting the cell
phones and P&S cameras + 1 "Flip" style camera), I find that the same
problems that have plagued us since the days of film-based home
movies. Just rolling during family events and outings produces lots
of crap footage that nobody really wants to edit into a package that
anyone besides Grandma would want to watch.
So, Why no VESOs, y'all?
