I don't care on bit about shooting photos (Already shoot Sony A850) but am interested exclusively in NEX as a video camera for shooting music videos.
I know there's supposed to be some difference/improvement in the NEX5 over the past models - but-
Is there any difference in the 3 vs 5 models? No one seems to be talking much about NEX video online. :/ They mostly go on about the stills. There are only a few very good video demos - but mostly from Sony employees (massive resources/skills to produce). We are hoping to get the closest possible "film look" in our shoots...lots of bokeh and smooth movements.
If I got the 3 and used it at the highest resolution - is it the same and the 5?
Biggest concerns would really be stabilizing such a small camera - including zooms and focus moves, hand held or on a mount. *Fitting it on a crane with any kind of remote control might be hard too. Also syncing music in post is a concern (though it should be easy in FinalCutProX w/reference tracks on the video - but NEX5 has no audio inputs only a mic).
Would going to a dedicated video camera just be smarter to get better I/O and not hassle with changing lenses?
Thanks in advance for input!
