Sony NEX-VG10 reactions, discussions and new video.

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 :)

UPDATE: NEX-5 + double lens kit is coming in US…you save -$150!!!

If you want to save some money ($150) don’t buy the Sony NEX-5 + 16mm annd 18-55mm lens now! A new deal is coming from Sony.

Currently you have to pay $649.99 for the NEX-5 + 16mm combo and add other $299.99 for the 18-5mm lens. That makes $949.
With the new offer which will start very soon you will pay -$150 less for the whole package!

So don’t buy now if you need both lenses, wait!

UPDATE: Sorry, I forgot to say that in Europe and Japan the kit is already available. It was not available in US!
