Sorry folks it looks like the host of this video (a prominant sydney newspaper) took it offline over the weekend. It was a shame as it explored the reasons why you might choose a video camera with stills or a still camera with videos and the pros and cons of each. This is an interesting question when Still cameras can record with cinema like hd quality and video cameras are pushing the 8mp range and getting small enough to compete with digital slrs and indeed compact cameras.

Personally I feel there will always be a market for both devices, but I think especially in the world of journalism professionals will need to be familiar with video production techniques and stills photography
