Nah, it wouldn't be primarily for video, though I would use it for that a lot. I've been wanting an SLR for photos for quite a while now, and having really good video in the same unit instead of having to buy a separate high-def camcorder would be great. The external mic jack would be a major selling point of that, while the audio from the built-in mic is actually really good in a sample I saw on dpreview, external would obvious be better and they don't even cost all that much.

60D... Looks awesome, but it's over 1k just the for body. Doubt I could do that. Swivel screen is cool but I've done pretty well without it on my SX100, after previously having an A610 with a swivel screen.

Mediocre at best. This is from my SX100: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysg1OMELQAA

Audio isn't the worst ever but it still kind of sucks. Video is actually quite good other than Youtube's killing of it. Honestly if it had an external mic jack and could optical zoom while recording I'd just stick to it.
