Sony NEX-VG20H Interchangeable Lens HD Handycam® Camcorder with Lens

The Sony NEX-VG20 Interchangeable Lens HD Camcorder (including Sony E-mount 18-200mm Zoom lens) is the updated, second generation of the large-sensor Handycam® camcorder, featuring an even higher-resolution CMOS chip and new 24p & 60p Recording modes at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Like its predecessor, the NEX-VG10, the VG20 has an APS-sized sensor and an E-mount for attaching Sony's growing family of compatible lenses, and so the camcorder enables the shallow depth of field for which DSLR Video cameras are so highly prized. But the NEX-VG20 also succeeds where DSLRs fall short. Physically a camcorder, it's specifically designed for shooting motion video with ease and comfort.

The NEX-VG20 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-EA2 A-mount adapter) to open up a world of creative options.

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.
