Sony NEX-VG900: First full-frame camcorder

 

It's kind of an oddball -- a full-frame camcorder that requires an adapter for full-frame lenses -- but it's sure to garner some attention.

Sony NEX-VG900 Professional Camcorder Review

 

For full-frame, 35mm image capture excellence and multiple lens options in a camcorder form factor, check out the NEX-VG900 from Sony.

Full-frame 35mm sensor, Interchangeable lenses with included adapter, Focus assist: Peaking and magnification, Exposure assist: Zebras and histogram, Optional XLR adapter, Electronic View Finder, Zoom rocker for use with power-zoom lenses

Pricey for consumer market, Accessory shoes are cramped

Sony Handycam NEX-VG900

 

Sony breaks new ground with the NEX-VG900—the world's first camcorder to feature a full-frame image sensor.

Despite all its question marks, the NEX-VG900 is an exciting achievement for Sony.

Great performance, easy to use

 

This is my first foray away from the all-in-one camcorders and I would rank it a great success! The camera is among the least expensive of the 'professional' camcorders, but definitely delivers professional performance. The large sensor size gives...

Loving it!

 

I love this camera! It's perfect for someone like me who's looking for a great dslr quality video but requires the longevity recording time. The full-frame feature, plus the million lens you can interchange, is amazing when trying really experimenting...
