Offering supreme imaging quality and generous creative options, it s the first Handycam with a 35mm sensor to fully exploit the artistic potential of interchangeable lenses by Sony and Carl Zeiss.

With a resolution of 24.3 effective megapixels, the Sony-developed Exmor CMOS sensor inside the NEX-VG900E is around 40 times larger than the equivalent in ordinary consumer camcorders. It s also more than twice the size of the APS-C sized sensor found in other interchangeable lens Handycam models.

As well as permitting beautiful bokeh (defocus) effects with the growing range of lenses, its high sensitivity assures extremely clear, low-noise images. The large sensor size assures effortless reproduction of the finest tonal gradations, helping the most demanding cinematographer fully realise their creative vision.

The sensor also allows the NEX-VG900E to shoot full-frame 24.0 effective megapixel still photos, with all the quality you d expect from a pro-class DSLR camera. Still images can be shot in RAW format for total post-processing freedom.
