Sony has announced a new AVCHD camcorder that will combine the high‑performance Exmor APS‑HD CMOS sensor from its NEX line with the versatile E‑mount lens system.
According to Sony’s limited press release, the system will support full‑HD 1080p recording, offering a noticeable upgrade over the NEX‑5’s 1080i maximum resolution. The camcorder is designed for professionals and enthusiasts who value interchangeable lenses and reliable performance in a compact package.
While the promotional footage focuses mainly on a stylized demonstration, the key technical details suggest Sony is leveraging the same sensor and lens mount that have proven popular in its successful NEX‑3 and NEX‑5 cameras.
Further specifications are expected as Sony prepares to launch the product later this year.
