I just checked out their website, what's most interesting in a biziare
sort of way is the sample movie comparison between the NEX-VG10 APS
sensor and the "conventional" camcorder. The NEX is bright and clear
with a shallow DOF. There's something wrong with the "conventional"
camcorder image, it's got lots of DOF as you'd expect, but well the main
subject just doesn't look right. I guess they're right... Wait a
minute, they focused on the background, no wonder the main subject looks
bad!

I was leafing through the local newspaper today (what can I say;
I'm hopelessly old-style when it comes to news, amongst other things),

Somehow I'd managed to miss this for the last six months. But at
first glance it looks pretty impressive: it claims to have a large
("APS HD") 14MP sensor - I presume this is similar in size to the
sensor in an "APS-C" DSLR - probably the same sensor as the NEX-5.
While I personally have no use for video, I would imagine that a
single camera that can shoot full HD video, and produce images as
good as almost anything I can get from a DSLR, would sell well.
It doesn't have RAW, and (strangely, for Sony) image stabilisation
is done in-lens (don't the alpha bodies use in-camera anti-shake)?
But while *I* care about these things, I'm sure many folks don't.
