I don't get putting video on a camera like that. Is it just because the electronics to do so are already in the camera, so they might as well do it? I can get behind GPS and auto time setting. - Robert W. Anderson

I don't understand the 1080p either. I'd use 720p video but only occasionally. It's too high resolution for the web and I really don't see DSLRs being widely used for broadcast TV or DVD production. Even for capturing a bit of video for wedding DVDs it's a bit much. It's mostly marketing hype. - Steve Mermelstein

Yeah, marketing hype, they can do it so they do. - Robert W. Anderson
