Is movie mode in a dslr important to you?

Ok, I just came from reading some of the threads on dpreview forums and it seems the lack of movie mode is a great great great oversight by canon according to some of the posts. To be honest, I was quite taken a back. When i read the specs for d90 i noticed the movie mode but i though of it more as a gimmick rather than something that would sway my decision. I'm not saying this just because the 50d doesn't have a movie mode but because I genuinely do not use it. I've owned 3 different compacts over the pass 7 years and all of them had a movie mode. I don't think i've ever used it at all. So is it just me who feels this way?

ps. if the 5d replacement has a movie mode then good, but it won't influence my buying decision. Same goes for the 50d.

I think a camera/video camera should serve their own purposes and not be integrated. Besides, a DSLR is meant for good pictures...not movies!

Well.... It is not necessary, but really good to have it.
Especially when you have a baby (and hell lots of stuffs to bring ard already)

Of course i can buy another p&s for the video function (which is what i am doing now).
But,imagine you are already lugging ard few kgs of stuffs for the dslr for outing trip with baby, then some precious smile or moments of the baby, you put down the dslr, switch on the p&s, change to movie mode....
Voila.....
What if you just change the mode of the dslr you are holding, a world apart of difference.

from a parent perspective.
really hope that canon will come out with one of this.
