I read some where (vague on purpose, because it seems to be everywhere) on a more commercialized site that the still photographer in the near future will be required to produce video or face extinction. The message was using fear to further it’s video DSLR product. Is it true though? So change in technology is brought about two ways, either the market shows a need and the need is met. Or, upon developing of one technology another surfaces along the way. This technology does not have a strong need in the market, but can’t be ignored. Can any one say BETA max? This is the case for the HD video in the DSLR. I don’t think either still or video photographers really chomped on the bit for this technology. I think it came from the major players Canon, Sony, and Panasonic R+D departments. But it is already filling a need in photojournalism (It is sticking to the wall!). I know that the San Jose Mercury News and other new agencies have outfitted their photographers with video capable DSLRS. When print is dying and web is rising- why not have the ability to choose still or motion? Here is a video from photojournalist Ami Vitale for Nikon. http://bit.ly/5Jr18 She is an amazing still photographer using video. Her composition of video shows her roots as a still photographer- I think it is so cool.
