First up, I’ve got a more in-depth overview of the Sony NEX-VG10 over at Tech Tilt.
And second, I just wanted to point out that the location product shots of the NEX-VG10 appear to have been captured with a Sony A850 and Zeiss lenses. I realize that’s not quite as juicy as a 5D Mark II on Sony’s set (and I’m sure this will generate the obligatory “who cares” comment), but I figured I’d give Sony a bit of credit where credit is due.

I’m still scratching my head on this one, but the would-be killer Panasonic G2 commercial seems to be offering up a lot of special treatment from the 5D Mark II and Canon L glass in this behind the scenes video.

Eric Austin has cooked up the above contraption, which is an electric, radio-controlled helicopter with a Canon 7D mounted on it. With his HeliVideo he’s providing his commercial clients with unique still and video shots.
DIY Photography has a nice little Q&A session with Eric if you want to read more about it.
