is this easy to find for this camera?

@immitchbiatch Just grab the NEX 16mm F2.8 and add the ECF-1 fisheye converter. Great optics, and then you'll have a nice corrected wide angle as well.

@kitches1991 The VG10 works great with Macs. iMovie and Final Cut both support the files. I edited this video with Final Cut. I'm a Mac junky, so if we look at a camera, it's guaranteed to be Mac compatible.

does it come with that mic cover?

[GadgetVision]

i see the wobbly corners like it's stabilized with deshaker in virtualdub. am I right ?

@ryanyu59 The VG20 has better low light than the VG10 or 60D. It also adds manual audio control. It's a very nice upgrade, and we have a video on it.

@Jigsaw2383 but its bigger brother shoots at 1080p at 60p its kinda give and take you give away the low light but you gain frame rates and better ergonomics

[Jigsaw2383]

@ryanyu59 this Sony camera is pretty bad at high iso its so inconstant and shaky blurs all around so the 2 grand is not worth, if you have already the 6D you can add a better mic than the Sony build and also you will have money for a great lens, canon has a tremendous variety and the autofocus.... this sony camera is bad

[ryanyu59]

@Jigsaw2383 i have a 60d but i still want to get this camera why it have a slightly bigger sensor and have better audio it more built to be a video camera and to get a 60d to act more like a video camera you need to invest to rod system which can bump the cost to more than the nex it self ^_^

[Jigsaw2383]

@immitchbiatch don't waste your money on this camera buy the canon eos 6D is way better that this sony camcorder

[greyhoundz7898]

Nice video! I am interested in buying a new video camera and is considering the Sony VG-10, the VG-20, and the Canon XA-10. I shoot outdoors a lot. Which would you guys recommend?

[LeeHolz15]

Thanks for all the info Jordan, what kind of audio setup do you have during this video and can you achieve the same setup with the NEX-VG10? Also, is there a plug in with this camera for booming shotgun mics?

@TheCameraStoreTV thanks for your help.
