Mutt, I'm not going to schlep a big fucking video camera all the way to Napa Valley to shoot landscapes at 96 fps when my Hasselblad XPan already does an outstanding job. And why shoot video to get a still of a non-moving subject anyway?
The guy has a point with the sports photography--it does make it easier to capture the sporting decisive moment. I suppose one day though someone will come up with "Decisive Moment" software that we can load into a camera, and it'll take photos that would make Henri Cartier-Bresson look like Donny Long.
BTW, I read this article a while ago, and thought he was just trying to be provocative. I read LaForet's blog occasionally, and he's always struck me as being a bit of an ass clown.
