The VG900 is the Apple Lisa of the Sony 7 series.
The VG900 was NEX generation…perhaps the real production “prototype” a7.
The funny thing is…I had almost forgot about it.
I guess unless you want the camcorder form factor and the built in mic, there is nothing else going on for that cam that the a7, a7r and a7s can deliver.
battery life
A vg900 successor with the a 7s sensor and internal 4k could do very well.
Yesss! When you shoot docs about people and stories, it’s form factor makes an incredible difference. I seem to remember it had crappy DR, in spite of the FF sensor. So yes, with the A7s sensor and internal 4K, it would could see a serious revival as a doc and travel cam.
Why would I pay 2300$ for RX1, when I can get an RX2 for around 5000$ in a few weeks ?
To save $2700 dollars perhaps.
Why is an RX1 $2700 new when an A7 + FE 35mm is only around $2200? Sure it’s F2 vs F2.8, but to lose the ability to change lenses vs the price difference?
A valid point, but the RX1 seems to appeal to a different buyer, and the image quality is above reproach.
Only people who have put down too much money for it keep claiming that the rx1 is this and that… it’s the emperor’s new clothes, the Leica syndrome, etc.
Wrong analogy. Leica simply takes better pictures, just for the simple and obvious reason that it costs 4X more. Hence 4X more is the image quality,.the Leica glow, the 3D pop, the rendering.. the works.,
hehe you forgot the “nuances” in “tonality” and the “organic nature of the grain” which has a certain “je ne sais quoi”
Don’t Buy. We all know what this means…
A99II, RX2, ANOTHER RX100(4), and Another Nex 7Something is coming Soon.
This leave you with a choice, pick up the last generation technology at a substantial discount or wait for the latest version and pay top dollar. Then ask yourself the question; how much will my photography improve by using the latest technology? And is that improvement worth the cost? Decisions decisions…..
You are right, I don’t think photography will improve, but the thing is that I don’t think this is substantial discount honestly. On ebay you could buy RX1 for $1900 half a year ago, and now $2299 seems like an increase in price if anything. I think Sony lowered lot of prices recently – A6000 for $799 in a kit, heck of a lot camera for that money, but now already not so new RX1 for $2299 is kind of lame. Or take an A7 with lens for $2200 or even less and more outdated RX1 for more? I mean don’t call it an amazing price cut at least then. It’s anything but price cut.
Sony is almost comical with all these ‘deals’. The other day there was a SAR link to an a99II eBay “refurbished” deal for $1,724.99. At the same time I pointed out an authorized Nikon reseller was offering refurbished d800s for $1,999.99. I think the d800s sold out in less than 2 days. The a99 offer is now closed after selling 1 unit even though it listed originally more than 10 available.
For those Americans who are kicking themselves for missing the Sony a99 refurbished deal they quickly pulled off of eBay after selling a whopping single unit, it appears to have popped in their outlet store. Please don’t rush there and crash their web site! ;^)

Did you buy one of the D800’s?
I think Sony is the only party who thinks this is a deal. They’re probably laughing till they wet their pants. That is until they see how many they’ve sold at this ‘deal of a price’.
