Should there now be a separate forum for video enthusiasts?

Re: Should there now be a separate forum for video enthusiasts?

This is a photography forum for photography gear. For video a video camera is going to be a lot more useful with quiet lenses and better zoom. These large high mega pixel sensors are not really optimum for video.

Also this is not just a NX forum and the thought of it filling with 4K fans talking moaning that a camera does not have codec 42.5.6.8.92.3.93 and 70 fps, or the lack of a microphone jack or stabiliser and of course lens noise does fill me with dread. If Samsung put in 5 axis stabilisation that will cause problems with people who think these are video recorders.

I realise there are a group of people to whom photography now is just just taking 5 minutes of 4K video on the random chance they have a 8 mp frame in it that is a keeper but that is depressing also.

I voted no, i bought the NX500 90% for video and 10% for stills. Still photography doesnt pay anything for me, but i can upload tutorial or review videos to youtube and be paid for views. Its not much, but its something i am exploring.

I dont come to these forums to talk about still photography, i come here to talk about the samsung camera and lenses. There are thousands of forums or sections where you can focus on the art of photography -- i thought the point of these forums was the gear and not so much the art. I mean its called "samsung talk" and not "black & white composition", no?
