Sony NEX-VG20

De VG-20 van Sony is een videocamera. Of een fototoestel. Of wacht, het is allebei.

Sony NEX-VG20 (Video Camera): 5 out of 5 stars on Australia's largest opinion site ProductReview.com.au.

Upon first glance the NEX-VG20H looks as if someone attached the lens of a DSLR onto the body of a Sony Handycam. The shiny metal lens is a great contrast

Given the price of other large-sensor, interchangeable-lens systems, the NEX-VG20 offers excellent value for anyone who prefers shooting video on a camcorder-style body rather than on a video-enabled SLR.

Sony has announced the NEX-VG20, an updated version of its VG-10 Handycam Camcorder capable of 1080p60 recording. The camera captures its AVCHD 2.0 footage on the same 16.1 MP Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor that is also in use in the NEX-5N and C3 consumer still cameras. Upgrades include improved manual controls and grips that have been modified for better low-angle shooting. The camera's a Quad Capsule Spatial Array Microphone that now supports stereo and 5.1 channel surround. VG20 users will be able to choose from seven E-mount lenses or use the optional LA-EA2 lens mount adaptor to attach Sony's A-mount optics to the camera. The VG20 will be available at retailers in November for $2,199 with the 18-200 F3.5-6.3 E-mount lens or $1,599 as a body-only version.
