Yes. Most of the time we end up paying for things we'll never use. I've have my 5200 for a year and a half or so and not once have I touched the video function on it. here have been several photographers here ask about getting a camera without video, there are a few out there, but not many anymore. Why? Because then it appeals to a wider population people purchasers. Companies want to sell as many of their products as they can so adding in one feature that might get a few more buyers of their product is what they'll do even if 99% of the buyers won't use it.
Funny, I knew I didn't want video and maybe someone else did because I bought my re-ferb camera without video for a couple hundred less..... it is perfect for me and saving money don't make me mad.....lol.
MT also has a point though. What good would it do us to get a camera that we already knew how to use every feature on? We wouldn't have anything new to do with it that we could look forward to.
