Actually those are fun - the surfing one is a bit dark but it is cute to see someone totally screw up on a surf board so you see how hard it must really be : -)
and you musical selections are right on.

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:

My first surf, shot by my 11 yr old daughter on a p&s.  (You've been warned...)

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?

Cory
