and my reply:
Review of Sony NEX VG10 video camera by Luminous Landscape. especially: "Convergence. The marriage of still photography and video in a single device."
"Also shoots very impressive stills"....It sounds to me like it's the same deal. if They use a similar OLPF as the Cannons then all the same issues....my guess...
I think (hope) the one advantage would be that it would shoot continuous without overheating.
depending.......I think I would just buy a second 7D for the money.....
Edit: However, If you don't have some kind of video DSLR already, it would definately be an option. I like having the 60fps option though.
