I own an FS100, but more and more have been needing to get a B-camera for it. I've been looking all over and trying to figure out what to get. For awhile, I was thinking of the EX-1. But then I happened across the VG20. The upside, is that all my existing lenses, adapters and so on will work with the VG20. Plus,
it will be good in low light, much like the FS100, so no worries about trying to match a 'dark' EX-1 shot
with a 'bright' FS100 shot. And finally, it seems like they should at least have a 'similar' look. Plus, if I could afford EX-1 prices......well I'd probably just buy another FS100. But I saw a VG20 from a well known
LA camera store which had been used as a demo version in store, on sale for $1000. So I grabbed it.
So I may be visiting to ask questions, as I am used to more pro cameras where you can set everything
with switches and dials. I'm not much of a touchscreen fan, as I like to set iris, shutter speed, gain, and white balance physically instead of using a touchscreen, but for the price and the similarities to my
FS100, I'm going to try and learn how to make do with the VG20.
