There are so many variables in making/taking a good shot: positioning yourself to catch the best light, focal length, depth of field, field of view, shutter speed, etc. And I don't know how to incorporate these into video recording.
And no, you can't grab a frame from a video and make a realistic comparison with a proper shot.
Go up to a £2000 + camcorder then you not only can set as you would with a camera but also have to deal with sound. Maybe a good video editing suite would be a help
I can select one of these on the front dial and all the others fall in line with that setting
so basically idiot proof built for me I guess or you can go into the menu to do more.
It didn't me that long to understand it and if I can anyone can but easiest is tgo let the camcorder do it for you

Making your own.editng and all the entails is very satisfying even if not made for public viewing
I did one with the Golden Gate bridge in video with warning horn sounding

I suspect the majority of my photos and videos will be consigned to the waste bin after my demise.....
I agree, Foxy.
After all, I can't hang a video on the wall to see every day, can I.

Re: Pictures or videos or both?
Nothing wrong with just taking photos and if your satisfied with photos stuck in a draw then thats fine .I do the same but not being stuck in a rut without finding out other forms of photography.Personally at ther moment I like to see life as when I made the video. Then not just one fixed view but what else is about and the sounds associated with it. The overwritten ones I post with music are just video edited copies of the original with the sound track.
So why not me a little more adventurous and have a go, you never know you might get a lot of pleasure and enjoyment from making a video. You don't know until you try.
Seems to me there is too much negativity without trying first
