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 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.
