Sony simultaneously announced the NEX-VG900, a full-frame, 24.3 MP video camera with a 35 mm Exmor CMOS sensor.
Compatible lenses
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 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 aufofocus 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 the camera, as the backfocus requirement is far less than for a SLR.
