It would interesting to see what the "slow motion" quality looks like when played back on a full-sized monitor, but the impression given in the video is that the resolution is so low as to make this feature more of a novelty item.

But the industry is so darned competitive now that it manufacturers may feel they NEED some "novelty" in order to capture any attention for their products....
