Sony Handycam NEX-VG10

[3] The built-on microphone is made of four directional mics that record in two-way stereo with the ability to capture both front and back sounds.

Its launch price is 1999 US dollars and it comes in a kit with a Sony SAL-18200 lens with hood and a free download of Vegas Movie Studio.

[5] Sony simultaneously announced the NEX-VG900, a full-frame, 24.3 MP video camera with a 35 mm Exmor CMOS sensor.

In addition a 0.62× converter add-on lens (giving a fish eye effect) will be able to work with the 16 mm pancake.

Any APS-C or full-frame 35 mm lens should in principle be usable on the camera, as the backfocus requirement is far less than for a SLR.
