complaint 1:
"as well as the MPEG-4 video format, but boosts the bitrate of the 1,920 x 1,080 pixel 60 / 50i AVCHD video mode to 24Mbps, up from 17Mbps in the NEX-5. (The NEX-3 lacked the ability to record videos at this resolution, or in AVCHD format.) Note that like the SLD cameras, the 60 / 50i video is created from 30 / 25p sensor output." |

1080i60 is just bad ... I hope Sony would include their 'Super Slow-Mo" feature for 720P... :D

60i? Why? 24p and 30p would be better.

It would take a crossbar to prise 1080i60 out of Sony's clenched fists. Nevertheless, an APS-C sensor with full freakin' manual (finally!!!) and camcorder form factor, for under $2000, is a nice step forward.

Panasonic and Canon have been happy to sprinkle progressive goodness into their sub $2000 cams for years now. Yet Sony has dug its heels in and simply refused to go there.

Just like Sony... 1 big step forward, 12 smaller steps back.
60i.... I blame Japanese television! :-) As much as I love it, it's been obvious that they love the reality look of 60i. And since Sony's big in the broadcasting realm, it makes sense for that to just trickle down to consumers. I may pick up this camcorder to experiment with, but 24p would have been a definite buy from me. Sony, are you listening?!?! |

Here is spec list as provided at Sony Style. EnGadget said it had 24p.
I don't see 24p, any body else see it ? This is probably same as what they did with the FX 1000, with a $2k price tag, and then later releasing the VU with 24p... for $3,500....They will call it pro and put XLR inputs on it. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Model number: NEX-VG10$1999.99 As low as $70.00/month** PRE-ORDER Add to Wishlist Accepting Pre-orders Features Continuous Shooting Speed : 7fps Drive Mode : Photo Mode: Single-shot, Continuous, Self Timer Self-timer : 2-sec. or 10-sec. delay Shutter Speeds : Auto: 1/30 - 1/4000 (Movie) , 30 seconds - 1/4000 (Still);
