The imaging sensor included in the new Sony camcorder makes this camcorder stand out among others on the market.  It captures 16.1 megapixels and features a surface area that is almost 20 times larger than standard camcorders.  With these features, the sensor is able to produce film with incredible cinematic quality and makes shooting with a shallow depth-of-field easy.

Anyone using the new Sony camcorder can expect great sound to go along with the premium film they capture.  The camera is equipped with a spatial array microphone that features quad capsules, angled perfectly to capture exceptional sound and produce precise stereo separation.

The Sony NEX-VG30 also features functionality that allows the user to truly express their creativity through film.  The camera's built-in Cinema Tone technology produces a rich range of colors and tones you would expect from cinema, and users will be also be filming at 24 frames per second, quality that until now has been most easily accessible by motion picture makers.

In addition to beautiful cinema, this camera includes built-in picture effects that allow you to fully express your creativity in both photos and film.  The featured special effects allow you to adjust mood and settings using posterize, pop art, high contrast, and partial color settings.

Additionally, you can expand your technique and use controls normally utilized by professional filmmakers, including expanded focus and assist functions like zebra and peaking, allowing you to have incredible control over the focus and exposure of your film.

Regardless of whether you are using the camera for stills or producing film, you can rely on the lens to autofocus quietly and at rapid speeds.  However, the camera also includes a manual mode to allow full creative control over any type of shot.

The Sony NEX-VG30 handycam offers incredible technology and will transform the ability of camcorder users to produce cinematic-quality film more easily than they ever have before.

GetAway with my Sony NEX-VG30 Handycam


Going to Big Island, Hawaii on our 11th wedding anniversary, I decided to buy a camcorder that captures high definition video. I wanted to capture all the moments that me and Katie spends before I go back to Iraq. By the way my name is Nathan Kobe, United States Marine Corps, 4th Marine Division. 

But buying a camcorder is not an easy job when you have so many options in the market. Luckily, Katie’s brother is a professional photographer and he suggested me the latest Sony NEX-VG30 Camcorder. I had no idea about the camcorder but as I started to read the reviews, I knew that this is best I could get my hands on.  Not waiting anymore I bought it the next day and I was amazed by it. The video and sound quality is nothing what I have seen till date. So I thought I will write a review myself after using it for two months.

The Sony NEX-VG30 Camcorder is just amazing, the quality of the video from the 16.1 mega pixel Exmor APS-C sized CMOS sensor is unmatched. It takes 1080 × 1920 video recording resolution at 24p/60p.
