Why have you been trusting videos? The only difference is that the cost will decrease.

Haven't you seen Holywood movies? CGI has been convincing enough for a decade. Just add some compression and shaky mobile cam and it would be impossible to tell the difference on anything.

Hell, some people have been doubting moon landing videos for even longer now. Video wasn't a reliable source since its inception.
