I am attaching a still lifted from my Vegas time line. You can tell I had to boost levels a lot to get what I got in the end.

could you answer a quick question that the inaccurate specs do not even bother to mention.

Does the composite video out work during shooting. The reason why I ask is that I have a classic Steadicam JR with a daylight viewable monochrome screen.

This appears to be a perfect match with the 16mm pancake lens for event work, if there is monitor out on composite.

I could forgive the shortcomings if this is possible.

Curtis:

I've had the component HDMI hooked up while shooting, but haven't done the component or composite thing. I will try to check it out later today.

Curtis:

Good news. HDMI, Component video, and composite video all work during recording.

Thanks for taking the time to test the line outs.

One point that needs to be made about the Manual dial:

All adjustments to exposure are in 1/3 stop intervals; it is not continuous. That means that on-the-fly adjustments are going to be visible in the footage. A further annoyance is that the VG10 has detents, so there's no hunting for the next 1/3 stop up or down.

I'll probably return the VG20, attractive as some of its features are. Quite disappointed.
