Sony-NEX VG10 and NEX cameras Firmware Hack

    Vitaliy -

    On the Vimeo forum mentioned about, we have pretty serious dollars ready to commit to someone who could do the "almost impossible" to resolve these issues and add a couple of key features. A number of us have committed to the VG-10 as a camera.

    Does that change the calculus at all?

    Or is there someone else with your skills who would be willing to have a go?

    A little off topic, but I've seen a couple VG10's on Quibids lately. Last one went for $170 I think this afternoon.

    From the tests I've seen on the Web the Sony-NEX VG10 suffers from pretty bad moire/aliasing, so why bother...

    VG20 is coming soon, I'd forget about this for now. NEX 3C or 7 would be better candidates for a hack I think.

    Almost impossible had been used for low level functions part only :-)
    If you want me to be blunt - forget about that.

    I remember seeing you answer previously that the firmware is encrypted - but you use a very intriguing word here - "almost" impossible.

    What would it take to make this possible?

    Thanks in advance for thinking about it.

    I already answered this, as I remember.
    VG10 firmware is encrypted. This is first.
    Adding low level functions as you described is almost impossible.
