July 14, Sony officially announced HandCam25 anniversary model – NEX-VG10, which is the world’s first consumer HD camera lens can be replaced.
NEX-VG10 and NEX5 using the same 14.2 million pixels Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor and BIONZ image processor, with 18-200mm lens (support Sony E Series Lens Mount and Ring Installation “α” SLR camera), with pre- four-microphone array, to support 1920 * 1080 24Mbps image capture, with 3-inch Xtra Fine screen.
Sony’s got a new basic camera in the works to flesh out its line of compacts. The Cyber-shot DSC-S730 brings 7.2 megapixels of resolution, a 2.4-inch LCD, ISO 1250 and 3x zoom. The high-ish ISO is ostensibly there to fight camera shake, but we’d rather Sony sprang for some image stabilization — we get the basic specs, but why not toss in some extra silicon to sweeten the package? As it stands, we’ll need a bit more info before we can really differentiate this new camera from Sony’s DSC-S700 from last year, but we’ll be finding out soon enough when Sony debuts the S730 in January. So far only a Europe launch is confirmed.
