The coolest thing about this video is that your setup for blogging and its output quality on screen looks like the technology you have is of today. But when we look at the date of the video, it is 10 years ago. Man that’s the cool. Thx for this review.

I agree with your point of view. However a lot of people want to make small professional videos to practice and that's why there are so many people buying the DSLR cameras. There are a lot of people that just do it for a hobby. I see a lot of people on Philip Boom forums asking what camera should I get and everyone says on the forum do not get the Sony NEX-VG20. There is one guy on Philips forums that uses the Sony NEX-VG20 but he does not like to color grade his footage.

So crazy to think this video is from 2012... That's when I got my VG20 and, well, I've used it ever since. Still using it for KZbin + corporate stuff alongside an A6300 :D In terms of being versatile, I think the camera really stands out when you're shooting events and need to travel light, swap between recording keynotes and presentations into doing interviews and vox pops.

To say that's on autofocus (in the frisbee football footage), it's pretty responsive - impressive. I wasn't as impressed with the indoor filming, but it all in all it looks like a nice alternative to DSLR models.

Hey, I have a VG20! I like it. I don't get a lot of time to get out and do what I'd like with it. Like anything; it has it's quirks, problems and learning curves. I just happened upon 3 old Canon FD lenses from a guy at work so I'm going to buy the adapter from B&H just to experiment and maybe love. Keep up the good work.

Good demonstration. I disagree on one point. I have the HF R400 and I think this group of Sony camcorders make perfect sense. I was pretty inoilved in researching DSLR because of the lens capabilities and was just about to order until I found the Sony VG series of camcorders. My only decisions now are which VG model and what lens group. Thanks for the video.

I think it is really more a starters camcorder. It is my second videocamera ever, and I am really happy with it. I am not used to XLR inputs or more than one card slot. I am hearing professionals saying that the menu system is ridiculous, but I think it is easy. But the image quality is superb. For everyone.

Vimeo fan here.any camera can have shallow depth of field if you zoom in and if you use macro mode. To get shallow depth of field with a zoom lens you need to zoom in about 10 to 20 feet not very ideal all the time. That's why people use DSLR cameras for shallow depth of field now. You can get shallow depth of field with the Sony NEX-VG20 but you will need a faster lens if you want to get closer to a subject. Also full frame helps cameras help like the Canon or Nikon cameras 5D Mk3 or D800

lens can only help so much with low light performance, better lens gives you better sharpness, no soft corners and colour fringing. ISO sensitivity is about the sensor and since this is a 16mp crop sensor so it'll obviously not on par with the DSLR at that price range. even though my d5100 only records in 24fps but d5100 ISO sensitivity is up to 1200 with no grain so it'll be better and cheaper.

The footage shown here is not showcasing all the dynamics of this camera. However it's still a good review. This camera is still better than a lot of the newer dslr's. That is why the price on this camera still has its value. For many of the other dslr camera's on the market you would have to purchase additional lens and mic to equate to this cam. This cam can shoot hours non stop whereas many of the others shut off after 20 to 30 minutes. Put a flash on it for pics and you won't be disappointed. I use Canon and Sony so I'm familiar with both. I still choose this camera over many others.

Vimeo fan here. This camera is missing one very import key feature for filmmakers it does not have custom color profiles. When you shoot footage if your serious about filmmaking you shoot a flat custom profile. This lets you grade the footage the best in post. Also this camera is bad because it has line moire and aliasing problems from line skipping on the CMOS sensor.

what troubles me is the multiple mentioning of that the sensor is a dslr sensor. The biggest video flaw of a dslr camera is that the sesor warms up and therefor a dslr can only record continous for 17 to 25 minutes. after that the sensor has to cooldown. So either it is not a dslr sensor or I am wrong in some other way? And as a reaction to some other comment: I use a dslr for video a lot. I have not yet seen one dslr with a good continious autofocus. in the end I always switch to manual to avoid many blurry shots. But then again if working with larger iris openings (low F stops) even a videocamera continious-autofocus system seems not to work good enough mosttimes. In the end when being video critical everything gets switched to manual. With auto-iris and auto-shutterspeed first, then auto-focus and finally auto-whitebalans. So maybe not focus too much on the auto functions :)

it's not quite 5d mkiii level since the 5d a full frame sensor. the vg-20 has a aps-c size sensor. while this is still quite large for a video camera, it's certainly not full frame territory.

The primary reason why the indoor shots don't look particularly nice would be the lens that he has on it. The F-3.5 simply doesn't allow enough light to reach the sensor, and as such it makes everything shadowy and grainy. Switch it over to one that has a 25-60 zoom and you'll likely get a much lower F-stop, like 2.1 or so. That limits the amount that the camera can zoom, but gives you much better indoor shots.
