I will say that when I jumped on the Dslr bandwagon, I really missed the video option. I never had a digital camera that did not have it, so for me it was weird having less functionality...(my old digitals all had a manual mode - I was to scared to use it

)
And now there are cameras with live view (which my old digitals had), the downside to that is that you will never be forced to learn how to use your camera. It shows on screen what the photo will look like, so you can change the settings and the picture on the screen will also change to reflect the changed settings.
I am rambling, so I will stop now...
