Flickr introduced support for videos and many of its users are going nuts. They claim the ancestral spirit of Flickr has been violated, since it was meant to be a site for photographers only. I heard some people deleted their Flickr accounts just because of videos. Are you kidding me?
I’ve asked some of my friends on Flickr (most of them are professional photographers) whether they would move to another service because of the new features. They all answered that they don’t give a damn about videos because Flickr is the best site around for photos and pros are all on it. And guess what, I believe they are right.
Moreover, I think videos could be very useful to photographers; they might use them to explain certain things about their photos, interview a model, show how they built up a set.
If you don’t like videos on Flickr simply don’t do them and stop the fuss.

Videos on Flickr are a great thing.
They have the best “social object-oriented” platform on the web, they know what they’re doing.
And I’m not a video guy, but I think the 90 seconds limit will push me (as well as peopleo more talented than me…) doing something new and different.

Very disappointed :-( I was expecting HD videos.
Have a look at ipernity http://www.ipernity.com
A flickr-like service where you can share photos videos and even music.

I think where Flickr video is going to come in useful is for more artsy and stylistic content. After all, that’s what sets them aside from, say, Facebook or Photobucket.
Granted, Vimeo already does the artsy and stylistic video thing, but Flickr has a much more extensive user-base and moving into video will probably encourage some of those users to at least take a crack at moving pictures.
