Yeah the handycam's aren't a good judge of their higher end cameras, though it still has the handycam name the NEX-VG10 isn't really a handycam. But video cameras are so expensive, you get what you pay for. 
Also, I wouldn't be worried about burning out your sensor on your DSLR... people log LOTS of hours shooting video on their DSLR's with no problem.


Also don't want to do craigslist.
