Just wondering
 

Does anyone come here anymore? I recently obtained a VG30 and am having a lot of fun with it as it is a pretty neat little camera.

Good question... I was giving some serious thought to moving this section to the archives, but who knows. That camera is more than ten years old. Are the batteries in good shape?

Actually the two I have are OK - they are after market items. I just picked up a SELP18200 for $200.00 that I have been using. I was using my NEX5R but wanted some better audio capabilities.

On another note, I have been looking for a cheap XLH1 body as my tape drive took a dump. Believe it or not those are not too cheap

I still check in occasionally. Still got a VG-20 which was recently mocked up as an Arriflex news film camera, fitted with an HDMI transmitter and a pancake lens and used as a stage prop to project live video in a production of the musical 'NINE'.
The stabiliser in the kit zoom failed ten years ago and since there was not a 4K VG or E-mount camera in the pipeline it was not worth repairing the lens. I ditched Sony and went Panasonic for 4K and haven't looked back. A pity, because I liked the hybrid stills/video design and the interchangeable lenses.
