Fifty One East and Sony have announced the launch of NEX-VG900E, the first Handycam with a 35mm full-frame sensor to fully exploit the artistic potential of interchangeable lenses.
The Handycam will be available at all Fifty One East outlets located in Al Maha Centre, City Centre Doha and Lagoona Mall, in addition to all Virgin megastores at Villaggio and Landmark malls.
With a resolution of 24.3 effective megapixels, the Sony-developed Exmor CMOS sensor inside the NEX-VG900E is around 40 times larger than the equivalent in ordinary consumer camcorders. It is also more than twice the size of the APS-C sized sensor found in other interchangeable lens Handycam models.
The sensor also allows the NEX-VG900E to shoot full-frame 24.0 effective megapixel still photos, with all the quality of a pro-class DSLR camera. Still images can be shot in Raw format for total post-processing freedom.
A choice of new Picture Effect modes provide even greater flexibility, enabling easy creation of artistic ‘in-camera’ treatments for shooting HD video or stills.
There are a host of other features that users can look forward to.
