Choose a lens and get creative
Attach a lens to match what you want to shoot or to explore your different creative options. The NEX-VG10 is compatible with Sony E-mount Series lenses which are optimised for video shooting with silent operation and autofocus. You can broaden your options further by using Sony α and Konica Minolta A-mount lenses (using an optional LA-EA1 adapter).
A bigger sensor for better movies
The NEX-VG10 has the same sensor format that Sony builds into its full-sized α DSLR still camera. With 19.5 times the surface area of conventional camcorders, the large Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor makes capturing incredibly detailed, cinematic HD video and still images with a selective depth of field easy.Superb quality audio recording
High-quality movies require high-quality audio so this camcorder includes a Quad Capsule Spatial Array stereo microphone. It contains four precision placed microphone capsules to provide exceptional front-side directivity and stereo separation. Want to use an external mic or monitor what you're recording? A microphone jack lets you plug in your own external mic, whilst a stereo headphone jack offers precise audio monitoring.
24 Mbps recording for ultra high quality results
Shoot movies in Full HD 1920 x 1080 (AVCHD format) at maximum bit rate for increased detail and clarity. AVCHD (Audio Video Compression for HD) is a high definition movie recording format which is highly compatible with the Blu-ray format.

Shoot still images in 14.2 megapixel quality
Want to shoot stills as well as video? You can capture incredible DSLR quality still images in 14.2 megapixel quality. You can even catch fast actions sequences with a continuous burst rate of up to 7 frames per second.
See it all on the 3.0" Xtra Fine LCD™ display
The camcorder's high resolution screen features TruBlack™ technology which brings remarkably higher contrast and brightness to the camcorders 3.0” Xtra Fine LCD™ display, delivering more natural, realistic colours and easier viewing in bright conditions by reducing glare. The 180 degree swivel display also allows for easy viewing of the LCD in different shooting positions.
Full manual control for ultimate flexibility
With full manual control of Iris, Shutter Speed, Gain, and White Balance via convenient hot keys and jog dial, you will be able to adapt to almost any lighting condition to get the best shot. Whether you’re shooting video or still images, the included 18-200mm lens will also auto focus quietly and quickly. However, if you want to use manual focussing a simple switch will put you in the driver’s seat.
Free pro editing software included
Included free of charge via download, Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 gives you everything you need to create dramatic HD movies like a pro. Easily add video effects, background music, titles, text, transitions, complete video compositing, colour correction and sound mixing for cinema-quality results. You can also share your creations via DVD, Blu-Ray Disc™, or upload to the web—all from one easy to use program.

Very pleased with the VG10e so far. Ive been waiting for years to be able to experiment with lenses at an affordable price and now I can. Good quality build and superb lens supplied. LCD display crystal clear and excellent quad-phonic microphone. Excellent (top DSLR)14.2 MP photos and full HD video all captured on solid state (SD, SDHC and similar) memory cards. Manual lens zoom (no motorized power zoom)making recording very quiet and automatic and manual control focus option. Large storage at the camera rear allows space for large heavier batteries. This camera would suit the more dexterous and hands on film-maker who wants manual control over everything at the sacrifice of doing away with a power zoom. My only con is there is no volume meter on the display and the only way to monitor audio is via the headphones.Good camera all round! Andy

First I admit I like Sony products and tend to buy Sony unless there is clearly a better alternative. Occasionally this leads to regrets but not in this case. I have been waiting for some years for a single camera that takes both photos and video without compromise to either, and this is finally it. One reason is that there's less to carry and manage, especially as I am a trekker: I bought this item specifically to use on Mount Kilimanjaro, from which I have just returned. Point by point:
Image quality (with 18-200 lens): excellent for both photos and video. I set photo to 16:9 aspect ratio to be consistent with HDV, which crops the top and bottom to leave just 12Mp instead of 14Mp, but that was still adequate.
Lenses: I rarely found that one lens wanting, though a 300mm would occassionally have been nice on the subsequent short safari. It's only available in A-mount so no autofocus; a wider range of E-mount lenses would be welcome.
Size and weight: a bit big with that lens, largest battery, lens hood and rubber eyepiece but certainly handier and lighter than having a separate camera and camcorder.
Data storage: I was doubtful about moving from tape to card memory since this means less resolution in some camcorders, but this does not apply here and am now sold on the idea: a 64GB card proved to be vastly in excess of requirements and holds as much as five tapes with a fraction of the size and weight.
Interface: As the camera arrived only the day before departure I had little time to get to know it and took the manual along, but had no problems as the interface is well organised and quickly learned. However, it's a nuisance that all the control buttons (except start/stop) are inaccesible when the screen is closed (such as when using the viewfinder for playback in bright sunshine or to conserve battery life).
Features: not yet fully explored, but the anti-motion blur and handheld twilight modes were new to me and work really well, such as when shooting kids inside a Masai schoolhouse.
Reliability so far: A brand-new Nikon once failed on a similar climb from ash and dust getting inside the zoom lens but the Sony shrugged this off.
Optional accessory kit: this is mostly tat, not Sony accessories. However, it includes a good quality filter set and a useful video light which alone make it reasonable value.
All in all, a terrific product.

Recently we bought this camera to film events at my workplace.
I'm really used to work with videocameras and I have to say that this camera is very difficult to manipulate.
It seems you need three hands to work with this camera.
I like to be creative and change the settings during filming; This camera makes this very difficult.
The record button is placed wrong when you use the upper handle. Why not put a second record button on top?
When you film with the viewfinder and open the screen to change settings the viewfinder falls out and you need to activate it again.
Sometimes the camera freezes and you the buttons don't react accordingly.
Very impractical...and great loss of time
After recording the camera needs 15 seconds to write the data. So again you lose precious moments.
My other cameras don't have this flaw.
With autofocus there is no face recognition and in half of the situations the camera focusses on the background.
The only solution is manual focus but this is not easy when filming events.
The camera is very heavy and tends to tilt forward and you need a strong hand to keep it steady.
I hardly use this expensive camera anymore, which is a shame, and bring my own Canon Legria HFG10 to film events, this camera is far more adapted to film in difficult situations.
The image quality and the sound are superb but this is not enough to convince me...
