I find this a little over priced for its value. Sure it shoots 1080p. But its not 3mos, and shoots in avchd. Think I’d rather stick with HDSLRs rather than this. And whats its aperture values? That image of the racecar sure has some snazzy DOF.
I’m getting pretty sick of shallow depth of field. That’s not how I see the world. It all seems like an homage to myopia.
Why are they putting a 4 year old chip in a new camera?????? Why haven’t they put the digic 4 in ANY video camera???????????
