Very perplexing is one way of putting it. Complete drivel would be another.
'Passionate pro photographers' (as opposed to passionate amateur photographers) are people who get paid by others to take photos. If they are increasingly being asked to do video shoots rather than still photo shoots, then they need to decide whether they wish to be unemployed still photographers or employed videographers, and he claims that many are stocking up on the equipment to continue earning a living. OK, if that's true it may be interesting but what relevance does it have to reading?

Perhaps it's the passion that makes it difficult. I suspect most ordinary pro photographers would just shoot whatever they think their client wants.
His earlier (and completely unrelated) point that multi-function smartphones have eaten the low-end single-purpose camera market is more relevant, but that's hardly a staggeringly novel insight.
