 |
The Sony Handycam NEX-VG10 is an interchangeable-lens video camera made and distributed by Sony. It uses Sony E mount camera lenses that were first used on the Sony NEX-3 and Sony NEX-5. It is capable of shooting in 1920×1080 full high definition using a large APS-C sensor. The video is captured in the AVCHD format. When capturing still photos the NEX-VG10 is capable of 14-megapixel stills. [1] The camera kit comes with a 18-200 mm lens [2] that will also be compatible with the NEX Mirrorless interchangeable lens camera systems. The 16 mm ultra wide and 18-55 mm lens e-mount lenses will also work with full auto-focus support [3]. The built-on microphone is made of four directional mics that record in two-way stereo with the ability to capture both front and back sounds[1]. The mic handle also has support for a hot shoe to connect a supported flash gun and a cold shoe to add on extra accessories. There will also be a 3.5 mm microphone jack to add an external microphone for more accurate sound capture. [4] First shipments of the NEX-VG10 commenced in September 2010. Its launch price is $1999 US dollars and it comes in a kit with a Sony SAL-18200 lens with hood and a free download of Vegas Movie Studio.[1]
Compatible lenses
The VG-10 will out of the box be able to support all of E mount lenses other than the kit lens. A 16 mm pancake and standard zoom 18-55 mm lens that comes with most Alpha NEX mirrorless cameras will be fully supported. In addition a fish eye add-on lens will be able to work with the 16 mm pancake. E mount series of lenses will be fully supported with auto-focus. An optional adapter will be made available allowing the camera to use A mount lenses, without auto-focus.
