It's official, Sony releases world's first Intercheangle lens system on HD camcorder.

While everyone was enjoying their HD DSLR, Sony decided to release the world's First HD camcorder with an Interchangeable lens system. Sony did show a small teaser of it at NAB but there was no word as to when it would be released or what it looked like.

This camcorder is price very competitively and I'm definitely interested in retiring my old HDR-HC1 for one of these bad boys. The price of this camera is the same price as what I paid for the HDR-HC1 but with so much more features to play with (larger sensor, awesome DOP, fantastic Audio, etc etc). I was seriously considering the Canon 7D but not anymore!!!

CAMCORDER REDEFINED: SONY DEBUTS WORLD’S FIRST CONSUMER INTERCHANGEABLE LENS HD CAMCORDER


SAN DIEGO, June 13, 2010 Following the 25th anniversary of its industry-leading Handycam product line, Sony today announced the innovative NEX-VG10 Interchangeable Lens HD Camcorder.

The new NEX-VG10 is the world's first consumer camcorder with interchangeable lenses and the first Handycam camcorder to feature an extra-large ExmorTM APS HD CMOS sensor.

"The NEX-VG10 takes Sony's Handycam line to the next level by allowing unprecedented artistic expression that isn't possible with conventional consumer video cameras," said Andy Bubala, director of Sony's camcorder business. "With this camcorder, video enthusiasts and photographers can now capture cinematic full HD movies and premium stereo sound."

Sony's NEX-VG10 Interchangeable Lens HD Handycam Camcorder is equipped with the same ExmorTM APS HD CMOS sensor used in the "NEX-5" and "NEX-3" digital cameras and compatible with the high grade "E-mount" series of smaller, lighter lenses optimized for video shooting with silent operation and AF. It is also compatible with a wealth of "A-mount" interchangeable lenses used by Sony's existing alpha DSLR camera lineup via a mount adapter (sold separately), including award winning Sony G Lenses and Carl Zeiss branded lenses.

Coupled with Sony's powerful BIONZ processor, the camcorder's ExmorTM APS HD CMOS sensor realizes high resolution video and 14 megapixel still images. Approximately 19.5 times bigger than the standard sensor found in conventional camcorders, the APS HD CMOS sensor enables an extremely shallow depth of field. This allows videographers to achieve cinematic results with stunning background defocus (bokeh). Users can also enjoy DSLR-quality photo capture with features like Auto HDR, Handheld Twilight, and Anti Motion Blur, as well as catch fast action sequences with a continuous burst rate of up to seven fps.

The NEX-VG10 can capture full 1920x1080 high definition video at up to 24Mbps for amazing clarity and detail, ideal for recording on to Blu-ray DiscTM media. It also comes with an E-mount 18-200mm lens optimized for video shooting that offers a powerful 11x optical zoom in addition to a silent auto-focus system and Optical SteadyshotTM image stabilization with Active Mode for superior versatility.

Satisfying the needs of serious videographers, sound quality matches the stellar imaging performance of the NEX-VG10. Its Quad Capsule Spatial Array Stereo Microphone uses advanced processing algorithms to combine signals from four individual microphone capsules.The result is exceptionally clear stereo audio with high directional response, allowing videographers to capture more sound from their subject and less background noise. The camcorder also features dedicated inputs for optional external microphones and headphones to monitor sound levels.

The camcorder's TruBlackTM technology brings remarkably higher contrast and brightness to its 3.0" Xtra Fine LCDTM swivel display, delivering more natural, realistic colors and easier viewing in bright conditions. The LCD is supplemented by a high-resolution adjustable electronic viewfinder that helps framing, monitoring and capturing clear images.

Compact and easy to handle, the NEX-VG10 gives videographers the flexibility of a removable lens with the ergonomics and operability of a Handycam camcorder. An intuitive jog dial and hotkeys make it easy to navigate menus and adjust shooting parameters, including full manual control of Iris, Shutter Speed, Gain and White Balance for professional results.

Dual accessory shoes (Alpha Hot Shoe/Universal Cold Shoe) allow for many still photography and video accessories, such as the ECM-CG50 shotgun microphone and external flash lighting. There's also a choice of rechargeable battery options, including the NP-FV100 that provides up to 315 minutes of continuous HD shooting (may vary), and a specially designed soft carrying case.

Included with purchase as a download voucher ($99 value), Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 video editing software includes powerful tools for video compositing, color correction and sound mixing to produce cinema-quality HD movies with ease. You can also share your creations via DVD, Blu-ray DiscTM media, or upload to the web all from one simple program.

The NEX-VG10 accepts both Memory Stick PRO DuoTM (including Memory Stick PRO-HG DuoTM) and SD (including both SDHC and SDXC formats) media. Users can record up to four hours of high definition footage (1920x1080, FH mode) when using the 32GB memory card.

Sony's Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX offers an industry leading 30MB per second transfer rate, which means Handycamusers can upload video clips in a fraction of actual playback time.

Price and Availability

The NEX-VG10 will be available in September for about $2,000 and presales on www.sonystyle.com will begin July 14. They will also be available at Sony Style retail stores and at authorized dealers nationwide

So much for Panasonic's $100,000 4/3 sensor camera... I can't see too many pros buying that anymore.

^ 100K???? I thought it was more in the range of 6-7K (Rumours)

Anyway, I read that the E-mount lens(18-200mm) that comes with the camcorder cost $800 alone. To me, this sounds like a bargain for what you get! I'm sure sony will make a "prosumer" version of this exact camcorder like they do with many of their other camcorders.

One thing with Sony "Consumer" camcorders is that they don't have the option to record in 1080p mode and to add to that this is the first consumer camcorder to have interchangeable lens. There have been a few prosumer camcorders that have interchangeable lens (HDR-FX7).

You mean Red Scarlet.

Only thing this i would like to see is dual media slots because at 24Mbps it will eat up cards like nothing.

I also here is does 1080i at 60 frames a second and that can be turned into 1080P at 30 frames a second by software.

^ The 60i that everyone is complaining about is really nothing. People all want 24p/30p images. The camera technically records in a PsF format, meaning a progressive image saved in an interlaced container. When you tell a Non-linear software to interlope it to progressive, it can be done without degrading the video quality(artifacts).

Speaking of bit rates, 24mpbs isn't that bad for HD video. It's technically pretty low as the 5D MKII/7D/1DMKIV records at 50mbps. Some indie film makers are complaining about this too, but 24mpbs for the AVCHD codec is surprisingly good.
