Sony has announced the NEX-VG900 and NEX-VG30 interchangeable lens camcorders. The NEX-VG900 is the first full frame camcorder to hit the market.

Both the VG900 and VG30 capture 1080p at 24p and 60p frame rates using the AVCHD 2.0 codec. The VG900 is compatible with both E-mount and Alpha mount lenses courtesy of the included LA-EA3 adapter. When using E-mount lenses, the VG900 operates as an APS-C crop camcorder without any loss of resolution.
The NEX-VG900 has a new Multi Interface Shoe that works with a new XLR adapter kit, which allows you to connect higher-end shotgun mics.
The Sony NEX-VG900 will be available in November for $3300. Check availability here at B&H Photo.
