I've written about this issue on more than one occasion, so no point going over old ground, but surely this camcorder - basically a Canon 5D that shoots raw files at up to 180 frames per second - rolling off the production line next year, is gonna be hammering in some nails into some coffins.
For example, I can't see the 100-metre final at the 2012 London Olympics being covered by stills cameras, at all.
There'll be no need.
It's a lot worse than that..
With the current trend of public generated news content it's only a matter of time...

At least the quality of You-Tube should get better..

Yeah but the Exilim only shoots mega-high frame rates at a low resolution.
Interesting that you mention You Tube. YT looks like crap on a Hi-Def television (people are buying them by the boatload), and thats where we should be aiming for, in stills and video.
Match the tool to the outlet.

I bet it will be the first Olympics to be covered by freebie cameraphone wannabe snapppers.
