So Stefan, did I just choose to perish? In a couple of month I'm beginning my education at the locals finest school of photography which will most likely rule the next three years of my life in its entity. However, I'm very certain never to touch a video camera for work. I can't tell you how long I already own my 5D MKII and despite being a rather curious human being I have not yet tried the video mode and am not planning to do so.
Of course it's everyones own decision on which tool to use but in my very humble opinion video is just inferior both in IQ aswell as in handling and just not suited for a still cameras job. At least not in the way your video suggests.
I think in this case the complexity lies in directing the model to the pose the photographer imagined. It is totally insignificiant which medium is used to capture that pose and I think it is definetely not easier to use especially focus a huge video camera.
If you're capable of anticipating the models moves you know when to push the button right?
I think this video stuff might be interesting because it's new and video reached a point where it hasn't been before but after the heat dies down people will reconsider their tools. Who wants to go through thousands of files? It's time consuming and expensive...
