The continuing move to whittle away the difference between still cameras and camcorders makes me sad.

Hello Mister Walrus

@Freddie DeBoer: Why? If they can offer the same features without adding significant cost (it seems like for digital cameras, it's mostly software anyway), how is that not good for consumers? These features are introduced out of convenience, rather than ideology.

There are still benefits to keeping still and video cameras separate, which is why we still have both. If still and video cameras eventually merge completely, that would just imply that those benefits no longer exist.
