Better Image and Video Quality

The drama that only a big sensor can deliver

The NEX-VG10 features an Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor that is approximately 19.5 times larger than the sensors used in conventional camcorders. As a result, it can capture dramatic background defocusing effects that smaller sensors simply cannot. And you can use depth of field as means of creative expression to focus the audience's attention on different subjects at will.

14.2-megapixel high-resolution photos

The NEX-VG10 lets you switch from videography to photography at a moment's notice, capturing 16:9 or 3:2 format still photos with image quality that rivals that of many high-end digital SLR cameras. Whether you want to shoot Full HD movies or SLR-class still photos, this camera has you covered.

All feature precision-crafted optics with aspherical glass elements for compact high performance, and circular iris mechanisms for smooth background defocusing. The supplied SEL18200 (E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS) boasts 11x zoom power, a quiet AF motor for cleaner sound recording, and Optical Steadyshot™ image stablization with an advanced Active mode that lets you take steady handheld shots while walking around - even without a bulky stabilization rig.

	A wide array of A-mount lenses Creative moviemaking doesn't stop with the E-mount lens lineup, either, because with a simple mount adaptor (LA-EA1) you can also take advantage of an array of α lenses (A-mount lenses). From macro views to super telephoto, the complete range of offerings will let your creative imagination run wild.
