The Sony is much less capable than the Panasonic, but you can actually buy the Sony. It's essentially a NEX-5 in a camcorder body with more control over video and no RAW option for stills.
The Panasonic is essentially going to be a GH2 in a camcorder body, likely with more video control and pro-grade audio inputs. It's also going to be $5k instead of the Sony's $2k (with lens) -Adam On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 10:48 AM, Thibouille <pentaxl...@gmail.com> wrote: > AFAIK Sony has an APS-C video camera just as Panasonic has a 4/3 one. > FF is a possibility (mount allows for it) nut nothing more than rumors AFAIK. > > 2010/9/23 Cotty <cotty...@mac.com>: >> I know some of you are interested in the video functions of your DSLRs, >> Pentax or otherwise.
