Sony NEX-VG10 was the first prosumer camcorder featuring interchangeable lens from Sony. And now Sony is bringing the same technology to professional camcorder with NEX-FS100 camcorder featuring interchangeable lens and Super 35mm sensor, which is equivalent in size to Super35mm film used in the PMW-F3.

The new camcorder uses Sony E-Mount 18 to 200mm zoom lens developed specifically for digital motion capture. It is capable of producing footage with shallow depth of field similar to that of a film camera and capture with high image fidelity. Other features of Sony NEX-FS100 are:

  • Exmor Super 35mm CMOS image sensor
  • E lens mount (and most other popular mounts via adaptor)
  • Full HD 1920×1080 AVCHD HD recording / MPEG2-SD recording
  • Over- and under-speed recording
  • XLR audio inputs (XLR x2)
  • Detachable 3.5″ color viewfinder
  • On-board Memory, SD memory card and optional HXR-FMU128 flash memory media
  • Uncompressed HDMI output with time code for external 4:2:2 recorders

Sony NEX-FS100 will ship in July 2011 and is priced $6,550. You can get more information about the camcorder on Sony’s website.
