Grabbing 1080i at 30 fps is much more than you could expect from any still shots at roughly 1/5 of the frame rate, but I think they make these tradeoffs all over their line. The ability to grab video probably makes it so that they don't want to necessarily give you EVERYTHING at that price. They'll save it for a higher end model that takes video, and shoots in the 8 fps area. At least that's what I think.
