I don't care about video. Should I?

I mostly use video to capture my little kids. 90% of the time I take still pictures, but without some video thrown in the sounds of their voices at such a young age will be lost forever. And you can catch some of the other aspects of their goofy behavior better that way. The funny thing I'm realizing as my kids get older is I have trouble picturing them in my own mind as anything but the way they are now; my 5 year old son I have trouble remembering how he was at 1, even if I remember times spent with him (it's hard to explain, but it's a strange aspect of my mind, and I've heard others say the same thing). The video helps me remember how they were without imposing on my memories how they are now.

I used to have a separate camcorder, which took good HD video, but was yet another thing to haul around, so it didn't get used all that much. I like the A65's video capabilities not only because the video quality is even better, but because it's not something extra I have to haul around. I take my still camera with me a lot; now that means I have good video capability with me when I do.

I'm well aware nobody else cares to see it; I shoot it for me. Something funny that might be of interest to friends and family, most of whom live far away, I might post to Facebook or something. But even they don't want to see 20 minute long videos of their birthday or something; 1 minute or less of whatever crazy thing is about enough.
