Sony VG900 Full Frame Camcorder Image Leak

By

Sony NEX-VG900

The Sony NEX-VG900 is expected to be announced tomorrow as a full frame camcorder with the NEX E-mount. The VG900 is rumored to include a 24MP full frame sensor and capture 1080×1920 video recording at 24p/60p courtesy of the AVCHD 2.0 codec.

While an A-mount adapter is rumored to be included with the VG900, I’m curious as to which lenses will be available with this camera given the increase in sensor size over the current NEX-VG20.

Additional rumored specs include a 3? LCD, XGA OLED EVF and price tag of $3,300.

Sony NEX-VG30

Newly leaked images of the upcoming Sony NEX-VG30 show a camera that’s very similar to the current NEX-VG20 model.  However, the most notable difference is the inclusion of a new power zoom lens mounted on the compact APS-C camcorder.

Based on the size of this lens and the past kit lenses for this series, I would presume that this is an 18-200mm kit lens (probably with a f/3.5-5.6 aperture as well).  This could be the breakout features that turns the VG30 into a competent consumer camera.  In my opinion, the manual zoom lens on the prior models was the thing keeping these out of consumers’ hands.

The Sony NEX-EA50 was initially believed to be priced at $4200 with an included 18-200mm servo zoom lens.  A pricing update from B&H, however, reveals that this kit will be only $3599.

Given the features available on this camcorder, I am quite impressed with the low price point.  The NEX-EA50 should be available in October.  You can order it here at B&H Photo.
