I was also a Bah Humbug type not long ago, however times have changed. I get paid for what I do be it Photography or web design and sometimes the two are quite integrated. I had the demand to do video twice in one week. I first borrowed a high end video camera and had no succcess with it, built in mike was not adequate, it did not like low light etc etc and a pain to download and capture. Actually ended up using my old Olympus C8080 and got a video down and embedded in a new site. At that point I almost ordered a D7000 thinking how nice it would be to shoot a video and use some nice glass. My next nikon will have it, probably a D400 or whatever replaces the D300 I now use. I must admit I need to have the capability my customers demand, if I didn't sell my work I could also remain Bah Humbug.
