The Sony Handycam NEX-VG10 (model variants NEX-VG10E, NEX-VG10A, NEX-VG10J) was the large sensor interchangeable-lens video camera made and distributed by Sony in 2010–2011. It uses Sony E-mount camera lenses that were first used on the Sony NEX-3 and Sony NEX-5 . It is capable of shooting in 1920×1080 full high definition using a large APS-C sensor. The video is captured in the AVCHD format. When capturing still photos the NEX-VG10 is capable of 14-megapixel stills. The camera kit comes with an 18–200 mm lens that will also be compatible with the NEX Mirrorless interchangeable lens camera systems. The 16 mm ultra wide and 18–55 mm lens E-mount lenses will also work with full auto-focus support. The built-on microphone is made of four directional mics that record in two-way stereo with the ability to capture both front and back sounds. The mic handle also has support for a hot shoe to connect a supported flash gun and a cold shoe to add on extra accessories. There will also be a 3.5 mm microphone jack to add an external microphone for more accurate sound capture. First shipments of the NEX-VG10 commenced in September 2010. Its launch price is 1999 US dollars and it comes in a kit with a Sony SAL-18200 lens with hood and a free download of Vegas Movie Studio .
19-751: On 24 August 2011 the successor, the Sony Handycam NEX-VG20 was announced. In September 2012, the successor, the Sony Handycam NEX-VG30 was announced with a 16.1 MP APS-C CMOS sensor. Sony simultaneously announced the NEX-VG900, a full-frame, 24.3 MP video camera with a 35 mm Exmor CMOS sensor. The NEX-VG10 is able to support all of E-mount lenses in addition to the kit lens. A 16 mm pancake and standard zoom 18–55 mm lens that comes with most Alpha NEX mirrorless cameras are fully supported. In addition
38-596: A 0.62× converter add-on lens (giving a fish eye effect) will be able to work with the 16 mm pancake. There is a 0.75× wide-angle converter for the 16mm lens available. E-mount series of lenses will be fully supported with auto-focus. The optional LA-EA1 adapter allows the camera to use A-mount lenses, with auto-focus for SAM and SSM lenses. The more advanced adapter LA-EA2, announced on 24 August 2011, will make autofocus available to all AF lenses. A wide range of adaptors are available for Nikon, Canon, etc. Any APS-C or full-frame 35 mm lens should in principle be usable on
57-543: A mirror box mechanism cannot be included in this reduced distance. Therefore all E-mount cameras use an electronic viewfinder . Initially, E-mount was implemented on the Sony α NEX-3 and NEX-5 consumer-targeted devices with APS-C sized sensors. E-mount integration into Sony camcorder products was provided with the Sony Handycam NEX-VG10 . On 24 August 2011, new products were announced, specifically
76-402: Is a lens mount designed by Sony for their NEX ("New E-mount eXperience" ) and ILCE series of camcorders and mirrorless cameras . The E-mount supplements Sony's α mount , allowing the company to develop more compact imaging devices while maintaining compatibility with 35mm sensors. E-mount achieves this by: The short flange focal distance prohibits the use of an optical viewfinder , as
95-516: Is an SoC that manages overall functionality of the camera such as SD card storage management, wired connection such as USB and HDMI, and wireless protocols such as Wi-Fi and NFC that are increasingly common on modern Sony α cameras. The BIONZ SoC can be identified by its part number "CXD900xx". The second chip is the ISP (image signal processor). It handles the data directly from the CMOS image sensor, and it

The first two were announced in October 2013, the third in April 2014 and the fourth in September 2020. They are Sony's first full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras and share the E-mount with the company's smaller sensor NEX series . The α7 II
152-877: The NEX-5N as a successor for the NEX-5, and the NEX-7 as a prosumer product, as well as the NEX-VG20 as the successor to the NEX-VG10. The Sony E-mount was brought to the 35 mm video camera market with the Sony NEX-FS100 . The first third-party camera to use the E-mount was the Hasselblad Lunar , announced at Photokina on 18 September 2012 and released in early 2013. In September 2013, Sony announced
171-473: The DSLR is relegated to a niche status among specialty photographers and full-frame mirrorless cameras dominate the market, we'll have the α7's to thank as the cameras that started it all." EPhotozine which rated the α7 5 stars, meanwhile praised the α7 series' price point for making them "the cheapest full-frame digital cameras currently available" while being lighter and smaller than comparable cameras. It awarded

209-485: The fastest processors for this step that they can. Sony designs the circuitry of the processor in-house, and outsources the manufacturing to semiconductor foundries such as MegaChips and (mostly) GlobalFoundries, as they currently do not own any fabrication plant capable of producing a system on a chip (SoC).[1] Sony also sources DRAM chips from various manufacturers namely Samsung , SK Hynix and Micron Technology . BIONZ utilizes two chips in its design. The first chip

On 19 April 2017, Sony revealed their new model Model ILCE-9, the Sony α9 , characterized as a professional mirrorless camera system. In September 2017, Sony revealed its VENICE high-end digital cinema camera, which records in 6K 16-bit raw format.

247-499: The fourth was announced in July 2019. BIONZ is a line of image processors used in Sony digital cameras. It is currently used in many Sony α DSLR and mirrorless cameras . Image processing in the camera converts the raw data from a CCD or CMOS image sensor into the format that is stored on the memory card . This processing is one of the bottlenecks in digital camera speed, so manufacturers put much effort into making, and marketing,
266-436: The newer and improved body design as well as the world's first five-axis sensor-shift image stabilization system for a full-frame ILC. Sony claims that this can compensate a 4.5-stop equivalent of camera shake. In-body stabilization requires no special lens features, and mirrorless system cameras can typically accommodate lenses from any SLR system. As an upgrade of the α7, the α7 II has the same 50 Mbit XAVC-S codec as
285-401: The second generation of α7 series. They are the α7 II (ILCE-7M2), α7R II (ILCE-7RM2) and α7S II (ILCE-7SM2). Sony continues to produce the first generation models α7 and α7S, even three years after the launch, only the α7 has been discontinued in April 2019. The basic α7 II model has 24 MP and has manual focus and hybrid autofocus. The second generation common ground is
304-578: The α7R as the highest ranking full-frame mirrorless camera, with a score of 95 (the same score as the Nikon D800 , but one point behind the Nikon D800E). The α7 achieved a score of 90, higher than the Nikon Df and Nikon D4 professional DSLR cameras, and even Sony's own SLT-A99 . The Verge rated the cameras 8.3 out of 10, commenting that "It might be a few years before we realize it, but when
323-642: The α7S but lacks 4K video, and the five-axis stabilization is less effective in video mode than that used in the Olympus OM-D E-M1 . However, the crop mode used in the α7 II does not incur "very much loss in image quality", unlike that of the Nikon D750 . On 14 June 2015, Hasselblad announced the Lusso , a variant of the Sony α7R marketed by Hasselblad. The third generation started in 2017, and
342-415: The α7S, the α7 II, and the α7R II have the model numbers ILCE-7S, ILCE-7M2, and ILCE-7RM2. Sony's new model naming prefix strives to unify model names. "ILC" stands for Interchangeable Lens Camera, followed by an indicator of A-mount "A" or E-mount "E". Pre-announcement rumours speculated that the new camera would be named "Sony NEX-9". In 2014/2015, three new models became available forming
361-460: Was announced in November 2014, and is the first in the family to revise the original body and ergonomics. The α7C introduced an even more compact form factor, being the smallest full-frame camera with in-body image stabilization . The α7 series is targeted at experienced users, enthusiasts and professionals. The Sony α7 and α7R have the model numbers ILCE-7 and ILCE-7R respectively. In addition,
