Both SAM and SSM AF motorized Alpha lenses will be supported by the VG10, this NEX based pro Full HD camcorder with APS-C sized Exmor sensor. To use these Alpha lenses with the VG10E, you will need to download the free firmware update (if you are registered on sony.com) and update your camcorder. But that is not it. You will also have to update the firmware of the Alpha-to-NEX adapter, the LA-EA1 which is required to screw one of the 14 Sony or Carl Zeiss Alpha lenses on the NEX cameras or camcorder. Note that Sony also announced developing a new professional Super-35 camera based on the E-mount as well : the Sony NXCAM HD.
