I did the same as you two years ago - I havd a 5700 and just a couple of
things would have done so much better with movies - very short sequences
just to illustrate a point. I forgot it could do movies. Well, I didn't
actually forget, I never recognised the capability in the first place!
With the 8400 I now try and remember it! I try and travel with the
minimum, so having that extra ability just adds a little.
