New user of Sony NEX VG 10

Only been in my hands for two weeks and so far have no complaints. Can not give it 5 for that reason. Right out of the box on auto settings just great easy to use. So far playing with other settings has been fun,and a learning experience. Time will tell on how great this camcorder can be.

Best Camcorder Out There!

The more you use this camera the more you fall in love with it! When I first got it I thought it was a HUGE mistake and I should return it, but over the next few weeks I changed my mind. The pictures that you get are equal or better then cameras costing 10 times its cost and the sound with the add-on mikes really comes alive. These cameras are small and light and this makes it very easy to use on a low cost tripod. Almost every function is manual that at first glance makes you think that it won't work but then it comes alive. It is so easy to zoom that you never think of even having a motorized zoom and since it is small and light you can move it around to get the picture you really want. The picture is as close as you can get to real film for any price and the dept of field is simply amazing when compared to 3cmos cameras. If you shoot fast action it is a great camera!

Shoot AVCHD video at up to 24Mbps at full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution captured at 30p and recorded in 60i, plus still photography up to 14 megapixels.

Pursue your creative vision with the supplied 11x zoom 18-200mm Optical SteadyShot image-stabilized lens. You can also add your favorite A-mount lenses including award-winning G lens and Carl Zeiss lenses, via an adaptor (sold separately). A Quad Capsule Spatial Array stereo microphone records spectacular audio to complete your creative vision.

Sony NEX-VG10 Features

  • The NEX-VG10 is compatible with Sony's E-mount series of smaller, lighter lenses which are optimized for video shooting with silent operation and AF as well as Sony/Minolta A-mount lenses (via optional LA-EA1 A-mount adapter) to open up a world of creative options
  • Enjoy incredible DSLR quality detail and clarity with 14 MP still images and even catch fast actions sequences with a continuous burst rate of up to 7 fps
  • Included free of charge via download, Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 allows you to easily add video effects, background music, titles, text, transitions and much more
  • This beautiful, 921K dots, high resolution screen features TruBlack technology which brings remarkably higher contrast and brightness to the camcorders 3.0in Xtra Fine LCD display1, delivering more natural, realistic colors and easier viewing in bright conditions by reducing glare
  • Perfect for situations with poor lighting or when using a telephoto lens, Anti Motion Blur mode will take 6 consecutive shots in a split second, taking the best of each individual image and creating a single image with superior clarity and detail
  • With full manual control of Iris, Shutter Speed, Gain and White Balance via convenient hot keys and jog dial, you will be able to adapt to almost any lighting condition to get the best shot
  • Sony's BIONZ image processor's chroma noise reduction delivers high-resolution, low-noise photos even at higher ISO settings. It also enables fast processing for up to 7 fps continuous shooting of data-intensive 14.2 megapixel images and 6 image layering
  • Twenty five AF points cover a very wide area of the scene, for accurate focusing even when the subject is far from the center of the frame
  • Control how the camera processes your images with six finishing styles: Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset and B&W. You can even fine-tune contrast, saturation and sharpness to your personal taste
  • The same sensor format that Sony builds into the standard size a DSLRs. With approx. 19.5 times the surface area of conventional camcorders8, the Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor makes getting cinematic video with a shallow depth of field a breeze
  • The Sony E-Mount 18-200mm lens provides an 11x zoom ratio and effective focal range of 27mm-300mm (35mm equivalent) for superior versatility
  • Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode3 compensates for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video
  • Whether you're shooting video or still images, the included 18-200mm lens will auto focus quietly and quickly, however if you want to utilize MF, this simple switch will put you in the driver's seat
  • Great for shots in the evening or times with little available light, Handheld Twilight mode will reduce the effect of camera shake when shooting a stationary subject by taking 6 consecutive shots then combining them all to create an image that you would have been almost impossible otherwise
  • Control how the camera processes your images with six finishing styles: Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset and B&W. You can even fine-tune contrast, saturation and sharpness to your personal taste
  • The dual accessory shoes open the door to many accessories for both still and video photography, including shotgun microphones and external flash lighting
  • Enjoy HD movies and stunning still images on a compatible HDTV via the cameras HDMI output (HDMI cable not included)
  • Anti-Dust Technology helps keep the CMOS sensor clean, resulting in consistently clear pictures. First a static-free coating on the sensor's low-pass filter helps repel dust. Then vibration automatically dislodges dust from the sensor, especially when you're changing lenses in-between video sessions
  • High quality video requires high quality audio. The Quad Capsule Spatial Array stereo microphone contains four precision placed microphone capsules to provide exceptional front-side directivity and stereo separation
  • Using the LA-EA1 adaptor (sold separately), you can attach the full selection of a A-mount system lenses, which includes 27 current models, dozens of Minolta A-mount lenses and an installed base of millions of lenses worldwide. Operational restrictions apply
  • The NEX-VG10 can capture video in full 1920 x 1080 high definition at up to 24Mbps for amazing clarity and detail, ideal for recording on to Blu-ray Disc media since the AVCHD codec is highly compatible with the Blu-ray format
  • High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography captures more scene contrast than a single exposure can handle by taking three consecutive shots very quickly with different exposure values, then combining the best highlight/shadow detail from them for one incredible shot
  • Dedicated mic and headphone inputs allow for attachment of external microphones (like shotgun microphone ECM-CG50 for pin point sound recording) and headphones to monitor sound
  • Unlike cameras that bristle with knobs, buttons and dials, the NEX-VG10 features a simple turn-and-click Control Wheel and strategically placed Hot Keys. It's elegant, uncluttered and intuitive
  • Dynamic Range Optimizer improves results with backlit subjects and recovers details hidden in shadows while maintaining highlight detail. Settings include Auto, Level with a choice of five operating levels and Off
  • These help you get the shot by optimizing the camera for specific shooting situations. Select from Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Flash and Custom modes
  • For cost-effective, convenient storage and sharing of your images, the camera accepts Memory Stick PRO Duo/Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo and SD/SDHC media (Class 4 or higher recommended) (Memory card is required. All are sold separately)
