Sony issues NEX-VG10: first interchangeable lens HD camcorder
What a way to celebrate 25 years of the Handycam brand, right? Out of absolutely nowhere, Sony has just upended the entire prosumer camcorder universe, and it may very well sway you from purchasing that Canon EOS 7D for video purposes. For all intents and purposes, this is Micro Four Thirds for your camcorder, but since Olympus and Panasonic own that specific technology, Sony’s left calling the NEX-VG10 an ” interchangeable lens HD camcorder.” Moreover, it’s the first Handycam to sport an Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor (the same one found in the NEX-5 and NEX-3 ), and it’ll shoot 1080p24 with a wealth of E-mount and A-mount lenses. When not handling live action, it’s also capable of snapping stills at 14.2 megapixels, and the 18-200mm lens that’s bundled with it is about as versatile as they come.
