FEATURED REVIEWS
I was waiting for this Camera a Looong time
This camera design it's just perfect !!!
great step up from a traditional camcorder
Bought this primarily to record amateur dramatic performances, love the HD quality so much will be using it on my sightseeing trips as well. Excellent piece of serious kit.
Sony NEX-VG30 embodies the perfect combination of ultra high resolution video and the ability for interchangeable lenses in a convenient handheld camcorder-style format. Impressive film-like recording with breathtaking quality is acheived, courtesy of its 16.1MP APS-C sensor. Expand your reach with the smooth digital zoom or powered optical zoom on select lenses. Built in XGA OLED Tru-Finder produces high contrast playback with fine detail. Premium video is supported with premium sound via Quad Capsule Spatial Array Sound microphone.
With approximately 19.5 times the surface area of conventional camcorders, the 16.1MP Exmor APS-C HD CMOS sensor makes getting cinematic video with a shallow depth of field video a breeze. The NEX-VG30 was built with an all new powered zoom seesaw lever for variable and constant speed electronic zooming. The easily accessible lever supports 2x digital zoom that can be used with both variable and fixed focal length lenses.
There's never been anything quite like the Tru-Finder OLED electronic viewfinder. For size, speed and brightness even after sunset, this is a gem. It begins with 2359K dots for amazing resolution and high contrast ratio for incredible depth. OLED reduces motion blur to a bare minimum. You can also see the results of camera adjustments in real time with superb color and detail.
High quality video requires high quality audio. The Quad Capsule Spatial Array stereo microphone contains four precision placed microphone capsules that are perfectly angled at 45 degrees to provide exceptional front-side directivity and stereo separation. 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.
Included free of charge via download, Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 allows you to easily add video effects, background music, titles, text, transitions, and much more. Everything you need to create dramatic HD movies like a pro. Share your creations via DVD, Blu-ray Disc media, or upload to the web - all from one easy to use program. Enjoy incredible DSLR-quality detail and clarity with 16.1MP RAW still images and even catch fast action sequences with a continuous burst rate of up to 6fps.
Using the LA-EA2 adaptor with translucent mirror technology and a built-in AF motor (sold separately), you can attach the full selection of A-mount and E-mount system lenses, which includes all current models, dozens of Minolta A-mount lenses, and an installed base of millions of lenses worldwide. Operational restrictions apply. Videographers may also use the LA-EA1 mount adaptor for standard A-mount lens compatibility.
