Looks nice but only really worth the cash if you really really want HD video and TBH a DSLR is hardly the comfist thing to use as a camcorder. I think the whole video thing is just a gimick to get people to buy into DSLR's when upgrading from a compact or bridge camera. I doubt it's feature they'll be building into the prosumer and pro DSLRs.

I'll just get my hat and pop some ketchup on it.

Mmmm it was very tasty but a little chewy. I best check these things out more in future as a hat only diet will be bad for my constitution.

Still going to be compressed with a codec at 1080.  Not needed on a stills camera, and wont produce the kind of results you would see from a Sony Z5E or similar, so not really worth getting excited about.
