Does it record in 4k? I heard that it didn't.
Seems like the main selling point is that it can take better still images than most camcorders (what a DSLR is for). Is it a video camera that wants to be a DSLR or a DSLR that wants to be a video camera?
Not saying it's not a good camera, and I generally love Sony (I use both Sony and Canon to shoot video), just the lack of 4k capability for the price makes me pause. :2 cents:

no its not 4k.
its a video camera that shoots like DSLR but is far more video friendly as DSLR is primarily for photo, and it takes really good photos if needed but i have a 5d for photos.
this is a 5d made for shooting video basically.
sony vs 5d

With a resolution of 24.3 effective megapixels, the camcorder's Exmor CMOS sensor is around 40 times larger than its equivalent in standard consumer camcorders and more than twice the size of the APS-C sensor found in other interchangeable lens Handycam models. With a wider view, surprising low-light sensitivity and robust defocusing capabilities thanks to an ultra-shallow depth of field, you can tell your story in dramatic fashion. The NEX-VG900 also captures full-frame, 24 megapixel still photos, with RAW format support for all the post-processing flexibility and quality expected from a pro-class type camera.
