IMHO video doesn't hold a candle to motion picture film (even super 8). I can almost understand the money aspect in this situation... but I guess I do hold a strong bias in this area, and also how the motion picture industry is completely hooked on avid and how nobody actually 'cuts' film anymore... I think it's quite fun... but I guess if you are working on the latest blockbuster it feels more like a job than fun... oh well... I guess the main difference I see between digital stills and high quality video is that in a digital still you can mess it up more easily so it conveys a different look/feel than with digital video. It could also be how I associate film with movies, digital stills with computer gfx, and video with TV. I don't own a TV for many reasons, and lack of money is not one of them...
