Dear Alphareaders!
Few days ago you asked me to start a lens poll. Please suggest me the lenses you want (lenses that are not on market or lenses that do need a refreshment). I will add them to the poll. You can send me an email (sonyalpharumors@gmail.com) or comment this post.
Thanks and have a nice day!
UPDATE: I will group your suggestions and start the poll in few hours! Thanks!

Dear readers!
We have almost finished our new mirrorless forum. Now we need your help to fix all the bugs! it’s time for official testing! Click here at: http://mirrorlessforum.com/forum.php
It is the first worldwide mirrorless camera forum!!!
As I told you today I don’t care about 24p (it’s a consumer camera!) and for those of you that want to have 30p/25p don’t worry, “the Sony APS sensor captures in progressive, but the camera is saving the footage into an interlaced container with a doubled framerate. Every NLE can deal with it in post without doing anything special. You just have to tell it that the interlaced footage is actually progressive. It’s just saved in the industry-standard format.
It’s 50i (or 25p) for Europe (PAL) and 60i (or 30p) for the US.”

Beautiful Bali captured with the Sony NEX-VG10 Handycam camcorder from SonyElectronics on Vimeo.
Let’s start with the good news. This first NEX-VG10 doesn’t reveal any weird effect we see on many mirrorless cameras. Of course we still miss some “real” handheld footage but I hope someone will post that soon. And what does people think about the new camera? Read the reactions on DVXuser.com, Cinema5D, DPreview and Alphamountworld (Thanks Noisycamera!)
Philip Bloom, Luminous Landscape and many others are not happy with the missing 24p (or 30p) recording feature. I don’t care. 24p is something the consumer mass doesn’t need (it works for cinema productions only!). It would be nice to have 720/50p instead :)
First swiss NEX-VG10 Hands-on! I love their language and you? :)
