I only use the video feature on my k-7 occasionally. I agree that the editing is a bear... I haven't gone too far down that rabbithole, except to play around a bit in iMovie. My kids seem to have more facility with it, though (They've taught me everything I know!). I expect the next generation of photographers will be more comfortable as part-time videographers than we are.
And just for laughs, here's a couple of (short) VESOs... "amateur" would be a generous description of these... >From our bike tour in Durango last summer, shot with the k-7: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23028562@N04/4910974632/in/set-72157622646199475/ My first surf, shot by my 11 yr old daughter on a p&s.
