Camera purchase. :)

Just bought this camera. Any thoughts?

http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/sto...ionalImage1%22

I needed something that could shoot 1080 at 60 fps for Video to stop the frames in mid swing and release on a bowling approach and to take pics.

Seems that actual 'video' cameras have no real point any more.

I paid 499.00 for it at Best buy.

I would always be too scared to put those types of cameras on a tripod. So much more weight on the lens than the body?

I had it on a tripod today for bowling vids. It worked pretty good.

Sony cameras are built by Savini.... better check and make sure the lens is round...
