Re: Shutter and exposure?
Good tips Chris. I adjust shutter speed all the time to get more light to the sensor w/o raising the grain.
That said, Sony cameras - including the VG20 - are very good in the low light. You can...

Re: AG-AF100a with 10bit 4-2-2
Hopefully some footage will follow soon. Love the form factor (it's so ugly it's beautiful) and all the tools a DP could want (well, except for expand focus).
Don't love the crazy banding and...

Re: VG 30 & Power Zoom 18-200 mm
And yet that is the very reason why Sony doesn't give the VG line-up full manual... At least, that's the only reason that makes sense of any kind.
And from Steve:

Re: VG 30 & Power Zoom 18-200 mm
Andreas -
The VG20 does not have full manual control - no control over color (other then white balance shift), gamma, sharpening, or contrast. In other words, a baked in look.
Now it's a...

Re: Sony VG900 - first image
Only one at this point - the adapted 18-200 kit lens.
The A99 will have full manual control. The VG 900 looks to be a VG20 with a FF sensor and rocker arm, meaning Chris is right - probably no...

Re: Shooting feature horror film on VG20
Yeah, we'll hopefully be putting up stuff every Friday starting next week.
Far as the Tamron goes, I love it. Bokeh isn't as creamy as some, but that's about my only complaint.

Re: Shooting feature horror film on VG20
It's going to be a down and dirty shoot that's for sure. Normally, that would mean get the best zoom I can afford (likely the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L), but I'd like to try and keep to to one length...

Re: Two new VG camcorders on the way?
Not exactly sure what Sony is thinking - it weakened the VG20 to the point where it didn't sell (apparently in an effort to protect the FS100) then brought out the AE50, a VG20 in a ENG body and...

Re: NEX-VG900 Full-frame Sony Video Camera
Yeah, I can believe it - Sony's squeezing every dime they can out of 8 bit cameras while they can.
The FS100 is now near the end of its significant sales cycle, and not many bought the VG20.

re: Sony NEX-EA50 announced...
B/C a camera that comes out that is essentially a VG20 w/ 2 XLR mic inputs and some more buttons (and not much else) isn't worth $4,500 in my opinion. You can buy the FS100 for that kind of bread.
