Most of the problems Kai noted have been fixed with the NEX-VG20. It now has expanded focus, a touch screen that tilts all the way forward for ego shots, and quick access to iris, gain, and white balance controls. Also it has manual controls for audio input, a choice between stereo and surround sound, and both 24 and 60fps. The big advantage of this over a DSLR is that it's primary function is video, so you can shoot longer without overheating or the camera timing out to process footage.

@whole27 25 and 30 are other standardizations that came out with the introduction of television and video. Some places in the world broadcast in 25 while others use 30. 24 is gives people the effect that they're watching a movie rather than a television show. The 5DMk2 was released in 2008 and was among the first DSLR to have video capabilities, therefore for the time just being able to shoot video was a pretty nifty function. The 5DMk3 will likely have 1080p at 60fps.

@ingaman12 жыл бұрын
@whole27 I would probably suggest the 2000 if you're shooting without a rig. The 4000 almost certainly requires either a vest or massive forearms. Usually people like a wider field of view at about F8 while gliding anyway as focusing is touchy. Frame rate standardization happened around the 1930s. 24fps was considered to be the least visually straining frame rate that still gave people the illusion that they're not watching an image sequence, but an actual moving image rather.

@whole27 The Sony SLT models, which are a sort of DSLR have autofocus in video mode. The A33, A35, A55, A65 and A77 all have very good autofocusing in video mode. The only setback with the VG10 is because of the large sensor there is a lot of moire. It's really hard to make up my mind for people like me who can use a DSLR for photos and videos but also use Sony lens' already for their DSLR....

The footage taken from this camcorder originates from a progressive sensor. Though sony states that this camcorder shoots in 60i? This may be the case, but the progressive footage is saved as a 60i file, where the camcorder creates two copies for each frame, instead of two fields. The difference is that there are no signs of interlacement tears, which means the footage is actually progressive, and therefore you won't lose any quality by having to de-interlace the video and convert it to 24p.

I really don't give a damn about the option to choose to shoot in RAW, since I just need something to shoot VIDEOS with. I think the only reason why I would buy the VG20 over the VG10 is that it can shoot 24p, whereas the VG10 can only shoot 30p (correct me if I'm wrong). The question is: IS IT WORTH BUYING OVER THE VG10? The few hundred bucks is very crucial. Reply please! :)

ok Kai, you are all right reviewing cameras, but camcorders are not your field :) This video was all a joke, and I m cool with it, but here there is still a little interest about what you are reviewing don t let people totally down on that side. I would focus a lot on what camcorder users miss using the DSLR: - external microphone with manual level control and headphones, is it possible? - better stabilization (I can see that in your shoots, even if you don mention it, is it better than the VR? I suppose of yes, it is only in the lens? like if I switch lens I ll lose the stabilization? that will suck as I ll need to buy original sony lens that I bet are going to be freaking expensive looking for primes etc.. plus a noisy zoom is not an issue, is normal, can we avoid it zooming on the ring? a real problem is a noisy stabilization cause it affect you the whole time, I had most of the time noisy remote zoom on expensive pro camcorders I noticed that it film in very slow shutter as many other camcorders do and dslr doesnt, that is a good point to mention, very useful for night shooting on buildings, or for time lapse requiring lot of pics for second, or for fancing crappy but useful shoots in nightclubs at the end it look like the only advantage on top of a dslr is the better stabilization ..but if we lose it changing the lens wouldnt make any sense to go for it, audio maybe have a manual level control and headphones, but no canon plug, so is really not much of an evolution ..users that don t care about this stuff honestly can use a regular cheap camcorder with a fix lens and be happy with it or a cheaper dslr that give you awesome images holding it on some structure that keep your hands far from it
