FS100 vs AG20

If the NEX-5N gets a bit-rate hack and one of those moire filters that have been developed for the 5D then it will be a serious contender. This thing weighs 210 grams!
 
With those samples it's clear this VG20 has the same or similar moire and aliasing issues that the VG10 had. (Which is too bad) Maybe a bit less, but the FS100 is far better in this respect. That's what you get from getting a sensor and electronics purpose built for video. You get a camera and a antialiasing filter tuned to a video resolution.

And here is a sample of in-camera 5.1 audio:

Pixel peepers might see moire, but what I see is my next camera :-)

I didn't see any moire. I saw aliasing on one shot of a chap with a red striped shirt (the wide pull out) and thats it. I think I'm going after this camera too. I have the VG-10 and it does line skip. But I love it's form factor and stealth. For you FS100 owners, this should be a great B-cam.
 
Hey Bill, don't worry - this camera sounds pretty darn good even in stereo!

Dustylense - do you think the VG20 will line skip as well? I thought it was a totally different processor from the VG10....

I don't know yet. It has to bin pixels somehow. It's just how they do it that will matter. But looking at that 1080p youtube of the promo look promising. It is a different processor than the VG10, so let's hope they addressed the Moire/aliasing issue. If they have, I'm all over this camera as I really like the form factor. I shoot with the HVX200, af100, hacked gh2, 5dmk2, and I have the VG-10 but not really using it much as wide shots are disastrous. THe promo looks promising though.
 
It's definitely not a clean and real 1080p. If you wanna compare it to the FS100 anyway.
In the end it's all a personal choice not caring about these issues or not considering them important. I just don't wanna make you think that you're buying something than it's not.

The promotional video must use the final product right?

Almost certainly not - final product is what ends up in our hands, and that's at least two months away - meaning the VG20 was put on the back burner while the A77/NEX 5N/7N were getting made.

Our cameras are probably getting made as we speak..
