According to an editorial in Amateur Photography, still pro photography
for news is being replaced by video. Single video images can be used if needed. |

This would be hard for me to believe unless the video was well-shot 1080p, in which case individual 2-meg 1080x1920 frames could be used. I have successfully upsized 480x720 (480x640 after proportion correction) Mini-DV (interlaced, with no motion in the frame) frames large enough to look good on DVD covers but I would not use this for general purpose stills... -- David Ruether http://www.ferrario.com/ruether |

Certainly it would be easier for some action photographers to capture events with video than with still cameras. No 1/500th of a second to freeze things however. |

(in article om): According to an editorial in Amateur Photography, still pro photography for news is being replaced by video. Single video images can be used if needed. I would not say "replaced" as much as "supplemented." It does seem that the demand is greater now for video photographers is greater than for still photographers. But the video is mostly for use on web sites, not print. If the news you are talking about is web news, then, yes, it could be said that video is replacing still photography. |

As a community journalist who regularly scans the employment
opportunities, I've noticed several job postings lately for print reporters with video shooting capabilities for small dailies. Media convergence via the web site. Who knows what's next.

Media convergence via the web site. Who knows what's next. At least one of the UK's national daily newspapers has re-equipped all its photojournalists with video cameras. |

If the news you are talking about is web news, then, yes, it could be said that video is replacing still photography. The reproduction in newsprint isn't much better than it's been in the last 10-20 years. Video images could probably replace most still camera images so it comes down to which image captured the moment best? If I have 1000 video frames to choose from and 50 still frames, which do you think is more likely to yield the definitive shot? On a lighter note, if you compare the number of photo mags to the number of video mags, photo mags have definitely increased in 10 years while video mags have dramatically decreased. As an artform, still photography is in no danger. |

The fps is a scan-rate / transmission issue and not an exposure issue. Super Slo Mo replay systems run at 90-120fps (depending on the manufacturer) but are still transmitted at 30fps (well, technically 29.96 fps...Google "Drop Frame") And you'd need to be on the surface of the sun to get enough light for quality images at a shutter speed of 1/10,000.
