(SR5) Full VG900 Full Frame NEX camcorder specs! With Full Frame A-mount adapter!

Image on top: The current VG-20 (not the new VG900!).

As I told you a weeks ago for the first time we are going to see a new Full Frame E-mount camera! It is actually a camcorder, the NEX-VG900. According to top sources it will use the same Sony A99 24 megapixel sensor and current NEX lenses like the superb [shoplink 8450]Zeiss 24mm f/1.8[/shoplink] or [shoplink 8448]Sony 50mm f/1.8[/shoplink] will work in crop more (and you can take 16 Megapixel pictures with it). The new Zeiss E-mount lenses will cover the full Full Frame area. The CP.2 25/T2.1 and CZ.2 70/200/T2.9 E -> Click here to get again a new shock by reading the price :)

The camera itself records in 24p/50p (or 60p in USA) at 24Mbit/s (AVCHD). It has a Quad Capsule Spatial Array Stereo Mic, a 3 inch 9k and 270 degree swivel touchscreen. An XGA electronic viewfinder. A manual control jog dial. A dual SD card slot, remote AVR/IR, mic jack and hdmi. The body looks like the current VG-20 camera (here on BHphoto). What changes is the sensor size :)

The price of the camera is around 3300 Dollars/Euro and includes(!) the new A-mount LA-EA3 Full Frame adapter!
While this camera may not be interesting for 99% of our readers the big news here is that:
1) It proves that a Full Frame NEX camera is possible :)
2) A Full Frame [shoplink 8454]Sony NEX-7[/shoplink] alike camera could really be announced in 2013 (as I have been told by sources)

A Full Frame NEX-9 could allow us to use [shoplink 13363 ebay]Leica M-mount lenses (here a list of them on eBay)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 13362 ebay]Canon FD lenses (here a list of them on eBay)[/shoplink] on it! Sony has yet no plan to make FF NEX lenses but I hope they will “feel” the pressure from you folks! And they may change their mind…

Reminder: The announcement of the A99 along the NEX-6, A and E-mount lenses is scheduled for September 12th! Stay tuned on SAR on that day! Subscribe the RSS feed and join the Facebook page to not miss any new rumor!
