But during the big finale concert there are always a couple of moms that are standing there with this big honking ipad filming their kid play drums or something.

Just seems like if you got the coin to throw at an iPad then I bet you could afford a decent hd video camera that doesn't make you look like a complete retard.

Mike, if you are picking it up quick around the house to shoot something, I guess I could see that... especially if it's spur of the moment. I have a DSLR and I don't break it out to snap a quick photo of the baby sleeping cuddled up to the cat... I just use my phone. But if you are going to an event that you KNOW you are gonna want to film something then bring the right equipment.

It's like trying to him up some pants with an embroidery machine... just because it CAN do it, doesn't mean you should.

I have an Ipad2 the camera is absolutely useless unless in close quarters. Using it for indoors to post for your fam to see it works pretty scent, i dont own an actual camcorder but I do a DSLR camera, I dont waste batteries on videos with that thing.

Really?! I have the 50D so it doesn't have video but I wish it did.

Video with a DSLR is amazing! Main problem is that I would need two so I could shoot my ASA stuff... then again I think they have heat issues on extended shooting. I shoot for almost 2 hours non-stop.

Mine is a eos 60D me and my ex bought it together but she is the photographer not me, when we broke up I kept it since I paid mostly on it.

The video ets up the battery pack fast as hell! And I never bother hooking up the power plug, plus I don't have a tripod tho I should get one.

You need the big batter pack that plugs into the handle but mounts to the bottom.

Got to say Samsung's commercials kick some a$$ mocking the iPhone stuff.

"we are gonna get that... well, maybe not this time but eventually..." LOL

Skipped the 4S so we just have the 4 (me and shelly both have one). So we have the 5's coming today.

The Samsung Commercial is funny for sure. Ill stick with a iPhone though.

I'm sure you made the right decision.

The wife surprised me with a very early birthday gift of a Samsung Galaxy S3... pretty bada$$, also recommended.
