Sony NEX-VG10 Interchangeable Lens Camcorder
Apparently the Sony NEX-VG10 is now available here, but how many people knew about this? When Sony first announced this interchangeable lens Camcorder (not DSLR), it caused quite a stir. Shortly after it was drowned out by all the news from upcoming Photokina. Panasonic also had better specs on the upcoming AG-AF101 which would be a direct competitor against this new Sony NEX-VG10. It's got many similar DSLR features with manual controls over shutter, iris, and still takes 14MP images. The microphone and audio is said to process much better than current DSLR's, but I don't think this is considered the 'game changer'. There's a full review over at B&H's Insights: https://video.bhinsights.com/content/hands-review-sony-nex-vg10.html if you care to know more.

The 60i is actually 30p is a 2:2 pulldown 60i container using PFF. Literally, it's true progressive - no worries.

it's an interesting hybrid camera, but, man, 60i? really?
also, without some sort of third party adapter that would allow the use of, say, nikon or zeiss glass, i am fairly unimpressed.
perhaps i am too much of a naysayer at this point.
we will see, though.

I don't think the VG10 will be in competition with the AF101, just look at the price tag!!! I think this little sony camera that is said to be in the proconsumer range won't win over dslr. 60i, sdhc and memory stick??? 😛 and sony lenses...
I don't care much about the better audio unless you give me 2 xlr jack on the cam...
This could have been a 'game changer' but I don't think Sony realy listen (or read) what we (the users) need!
On the other side, I would really love to get hands on that AG-AF101 as I've been working with panasonic before my 7d and I'd like to see what it is capable of!
