According to the press release, the full-HD VG10 “marries the best of dSLR and camcorder technology”, which is to say it that borrowed some aspects of the NEX line. For instance, the videocam has a 14.2-megapixel APS-C sized sensor, which is presumably the same utilized in the NEX-5. And as with the NEX digicams, the VG10 snaps 14.2-megapixel stills and captures 1080p (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) movies. The Handycam is also able to use A-mounts and other branded glasses with the LA-E1 or third-party adapters, respectively. By coupling a larger image sensor with the lenses, users can record videos that have shallow depth-of-field for a more cinematic effect. Framing is done via a 3-inch swivel LCD or the pivoting electronic viewfinder. The VG10 accepts both Memory Stick and SD/SDHC media for storage. The Handycam has a stereo microphone, which Sony has dubbed the Quad Capsule Spatial Array Stereo Microphone. According to the firm, this contraption is able to pick up sonics from four omni-directional mics. The signals are then combined by an advanced processing algorithm to deliver clear audio.

According to Digital Photography Now, the Sony shooter will employ an APS-C-sized sensor. Since the Alpha dSLR lineup already has a wide variety of lenses, we are guessing that there will be adapters available to fit current Sony optics onto the future mirrorless camera bodies. Also shown at the event are mockups of an Alpha DSLR-A700 replacement which seemingly comes with full-HD video-recording capability. According to Engadget, the snapper will utilize a new Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor to facilitate movie capture. For lens lovers, Sony unveiled a prototype of its 500mm F4 G optics which has an optical image stabilizer.
