but thinking about a video instead??

Personally I prefer stills that way I can better see what is on the table.

Also I am susceptible to motion sickness and swinging the camera from point to point quickly it can trigger it. I've had to stopped watching videos because of that a couple of times.

I like the videos but I'm happy to see a good sized heap of stills too.

Videos can be good but in my experience, most people have no idea how to shoot movies. As is mentioned above, swinging the camera is all too common plus over use of the zoom (just because you have a zoom facility doesn't mean you have to use it). Then there's the excitable, "zaney" commentary – please try and resist.

It helps if you started off with a film camera – buying and processing film was an expensive business so it paid to learn some basic skills. Digital takes away this useful discipline.

Stills every time- I don't bother watching video…

Stills.

Crosby, Nash?

Stills are usually best. Most people have no clue how to make even a decent video much less a good one.

Hgames are too slow for videos. Better with pics and explainations.

I prefer stills. I go through them faster and stop at what interests me rather than spend time waiting to see if there is even anything filmed that interests me.

When viewing videos I drag that dot back to re-view some interesting spot that just passed and if really interested rewinding with my finger on the pause button (Okay, I'm showing my age, it's a cursor) so that functionally I am viewing a still. BTC is right, scrolling through stills is faster and more convenient. I skip a lot of videos as taking too much time.

stills, no question.

Stills.

Stills – with some nice close up shots.

stills. no time for video unfortunately

You Tube and stills. Watching the British film I all I could do was ask, is anyone going to play these games? They are just walking around looking at them. Seems to be a big waste of time. Do they have gaming conventions across the pond?
