He compares it's capabilities to a $10,000 HD video camera (they can't shoot stills). There is HD video and then there is HD video. There's a ton of $100 "HD Video" cameras on the market now. But numbers aren't everything.

That said, shooting for both the web and print at the same time, it's a pretty good deal.

If you wish to later choose the best frame from a short video burst well then that is a different story (flash photographers beware!).
