Being of a strictly Bah Humbug nature I was very grumpy when they started putting videos into my still cameras. Until now that is.
During this otter project I have taken many images of otters on a particularly favoured eating place. Some have been posted on here and received mixed reviews. The abundance of branches create a very fussy image and in all honesty I was at a bit of a loss when it came to trying to think of a way of creating a worthwhile image. Last Sunday when Pink Nose decided to use that tree to bring back and eat several fish I suddenly thought "I'll hit the video button". Today I signed up to YouTube and uploaded one of the clips, so take a look and let me know what you think.

Great video. I like it a lot.

that's excellent Robert and just goes to show how the useful video can be. That was well worth recording and is certainly not a sight I've ever seen myself.

Great stuff Robert. I use vid a lot especially when the light is poor. Perhaps some info on your body, lens & settings would be informative to those who do not make use of the vid facility on their bodies? For example at 6400 ISO, 50th @ f4 my 5dMk2 pruces great stuff with plenty of DOF in near darkness

Excellent. I find the added value and quality of the video is a bonus to all cameras that have it.

Great stuff Robert. I'm starting to use the video a bit more on my DSLR now as well

Ab Fab Robert!!! Love it when the otter almost gags on the tail! Its amazing that when you have a moving object that you forget the branches and other background stuff. Keep em coming my friend!
