I've been expecting a "pro" version of this cam with XLR and manual audio recording levels etc. No pro version yet?

I reckon the NEX-VG10 was released to lay the groundwork for the NEX-FS100, I doubt we'll ever see a NEX-VG20 ;)
 
Yeah I agree, the FS100 is a little over twice the price of the VG10, perhaps a more seasoned Sony watcher might chime in and speculate...?

I would pay a couple grand over base for a servo zoom and manual/xlr. Don't tell 'em.

ha ha ha! I'd give a left nut if they could release a firmware revision that would include some focus peaking on the LCD and a 720 50P frame rate :)
 
Hmmm. I really value my left nut. It's the only one I have. But simple firmware unlocking is possible, I'm sure.

A bit larger price multiplier than the usual prosumer/pro model equation, no?

Yeah, but they're starting to come down in price a little. Here's a refurb from Adorama for $1650 (1 year parts and 90 day labor warranty).

Not bad for a large sensor interchangeable lens prosumer camcorder, and only a little more than I paid for my GH2 w 14-140.
 
I couldn't take it any more and sold mine on aBay, just couldn't stand Sony's idiot proof limitations. Re-invested the money toward a new AG-AF102 :)
 
Hello,

I'm a new member on this forum and a owner of a Sony NEX-VG10. I work with a 50mm 1.8, 90mm 2.8 and 16mm 2.8 and sometimes, the kit lens. I would like to share with you my last video filmed by night : http://www.vimeo.com/22804630


You can find a series of insights, samples and others videos filmed with the NEX-VG10 on my website : www.yannickbarthe.ch on this "review" page.

I've just bought the SONY CLM-V55 LCD Monitor for the NEX-VG10. A review will coming soon ! Stay in touch !

Hope you enjoy !

Best regards from Switzerland
Yannick
 
Hey guys;
I'm part of a crew that recently shot an independent feature film entirely on Sony's NEX-VG10. The movie is called 'Black Noise' and it's in the final stages of editing but there is a teaser available here


The interesting thing is that the director of cinematography is Farhad Saba (cinematographer of Abbas Kiarostami's 'Under the Olive Trees' and 'Where is the Friend's House'), a cinematographer who has mostly worked with film.
As far as I know this is the first feature shot on this camera, check it out.
