I see that Sony has an offer to upgrade any version of VMS to VMS10. I've been using VMS6 off and on for the past few years. I'm not a hardcore user, more of a hardcore user wannabe, mostly due to a lack of time. Is an upgrade to VMS10 worth the $50 or $60?
YES
Reason: you'll get better export templates (mp4= smaller size, better image quality). Stabilize media and noise reducer are also nice new feature even for the non intensive user.
