As well as the NEX-6 and A99 DSLR cameras, Sony has also officially introduced their new NEX-VG900E interchangeable lens Full HD camcorder, today.
The Sony NEX-VG900E is equipped with a 24.3 megapixel Exmor full-frame CMOS sensor, and is fully compatible with full-frame A-mount and E-mount lenses, by using the supplied adapter.
Advanced Imaging Capabilities
The sensor fitted to the Sony NEX-VG900E allows it to capture full-frame 24.0 effective megapixel still photos, with quality comparable to that of a DSLR camera, says Sony, and they can be shot in RAW format. This is particularly beneficial for professional photographers and videographers who require high-resolution images with extensive post-processing flexibility. The full-frame sensor also enhances the depth of field, allowing for stunning ‘bokeh’ effects, which are highly sought after in both photography and videography.
“As well as permitting beautiful ‘bokeh’ (defocus) effects with the growing range of α lenses, its high sensitivity assures extremely clear, low-noise images. The large sensor size assures effortless reproduction of the finest tonal gradations, helping the most demanding cinematographer fully realise their creative vision.”
Versatile Shooting Modes and Features
Other features include a 25p/24p progressive mode, with color controls provided by Cinema Tone Gamma and Cinema Tone Colour technology. These features are designed to give users more control over the look and feel of their footage, making it easier to achieve a cinematic quality. The NEX-VG900E has also been designed to automatically switch its mode from full-frame to APS-C when it detects an E-mount or A-mount DT lens is attached. This automatic switching ensures that users can seamlessly transition between different lenses without having to manually adjust settings, making the camcorder more user-friendly.
Additionally, the camcorder supports various frame rates and resolutions, including full HD 1080p, which is ideal for capturing high-quality video content. The inclusion of a high-resolution OLED viewfinder and a 3-inch LCD screen provides users with multiple options for composing their shots, whether they prefer using the viewfinder or the screen.
Enhanced Audio Capabilities
The NEX-VG900E also excels in audio recording, featuring a Quad Capsule Spatial Array microphone that captures high-quality stereo sound. This built-in microphone is designed to reduce background noise and focus on the subject, making it ideal for interviews, documentaries, and other professional video projects. For those who require even higher audio quality, the camcorder includes an external microphone input, allowing users to connect professional-grade microphones.
Ergonomics and Build Quality
The camcorder’s ergonomic design ensures that it is comfortable to hold and operate for extended periods. The body is constructed from high-quality materials, providing durability and a premium feel. The layout of the buttons and controls is intuitive, allowing users to quickly access essential functions without having to navigate through complex menus.
In summary, the Sony NEX-VG900E is a versatile and powerful camcorder that caters to both professional and enthusiast videographers. Its full-frame sensor, advanced imaging capabilities, versatile shooting modes, and enhanced audio features make it a standout choice in the market. Whether you are capturing high-resolution stills or cinematic video, the NEX-VG900E offers the tools you need to bring your creative vision to life.
