where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
Welcome to the forum slightdelay.
Like it or not video is going to be in just about every future camera. Just like autofocus and electronic controls in film cameras. I remember the argument back in the early 80s that if you need a battery to power the shutter then it wasn't a "real" camera and that autofocus was cheating. Same argument now with video. Same argument now with electronic viewfinders etc.
I don't know that it's necessarily a matter of thinking something is or isn't a "real" camera. I look at it more from the standpoint that I'm buying a camera, not a flippin' Swiss Army knife. I don't need it to take video, fry an omelette, or open my garage door. :) I just want it to take the best possible picture. Ditching video and all that goes with it should, at least in theory, not only bring the price point on the camera down, but also leave room for other photo-related features. Just a thought.
