I remember when an slr camera was used to shoot only still images. Now, with today's dslr, it is possible to also shoot video. If you could choose; would you prefer a camera that on shoots single shots or one that does both?
There's very little reason to not buy a DSLR that has video capability even if you don't plan to use it. It does come in handy sometimes and the quality is very good with an external mic.
However, there are some limits if your primary requirement is video.
