Dunno if I already answered this but here goes. I have two Canons, a 40d and a 5d. No video with either, 100% photography. Harry PS Gene Uhlman took my camera and was videoing Mike Peretto and me at a field trial somewhere in the South (GA or AL, I think) and I informed him that he was covering "two giants of the field trial world!" We got a good laugh out of that the next summer as the three of us watched it. :-)
Photos-100%; Video-Never, but I am considering it.
My photographic journey began I ‘66 when I was a motion picture photographer in the Air Force. I still enjoy shooting video now and then. I enjoy the editing, putting music and graphics to it. My Canon affords me the opportunity to do that.
Photography: 99%. Videography: 1%.

Just intrigued to find out what we do use our DSLR/MILC cameras for? (don't count the "I wonder what this button does?" occasions when you accidentally find yourself with a video file)
I'll begin the survey with my "stats" - here they are:
Photography 100% Videography 0%
About 50/50; images/4k video. Shooting with Sony A7 full frame, crop sensor and RX10 IV.

My D850 takes spectacular video which I never use.
I'm 100% stills. My cameras have WIFI capability and GPS...don't use any of it, but it's not frustrating. If it bothered me I would go back to film.
Probably 75% video, 25% stills. The more I got into video, the more it took over my photography hobby. There is so much more to it than shooting stills and spending 5 or 10 minutes tweaking your raw pics in photoshop. All the things you do for a still pic, aperture, shutter speed, lighting, plus audio and video capture and editing, plus finding subjects that can hold a viewer's interest for a minute or two or three. You may spend a few seconds admiring a still pic, but you have to commit a few minutes to watch a video.
100% photo. One of the first things I do with a new camera (since I went mirrorless, with cameras that offer video) is set the video button to off. I may later set it to do something else, but most important is that it NOT start a video recording.
I’ve never had a desire to make movies. I enjoy creating beautiful stills.
Very little video. The trick or treating at Hallowe’en, kids through sprinklers, etc.. Almost 100% stills.
