Nobody uses jpegs. And buffer for fine jpegs is 18. Still shitty. I can get 2000+ shots in one charge out of my Nikon. 500 will barely fill a 16gb card.

lol 500 shots will be gone in a heart beat with 12 frame. And jpeg for photos is pointless, knew there had to be a catch with this camera.

Yep. It looks good at a glance, but the features are impractical and pretty useless.

I still don't see the catch? I feel that it would still perform better than my 60d the evf and magnisium alloy body are just about enough for me, plus the 1080p60p. I also get mad deals on Sony so it looks like I night buy one for fun.

I'm talking about the camera strictly from a photographers point of view.

I thought this was a more video oriented camera, seems like they tried to make it more for the use of video.

if you go to the video section you can see menus,

also there is no 720p recording on this camera.

I laugh at any DSLR that shoots over 20mp. Past that and your $1k glass suddenly isn't sharp enough...

yeah man, especially for video, there is a reason vidcams are 2mp aka 1080p

If it was a video oriented camera, it would look something like this...
