No its not possible Utilizing an E-mount interchangeable lens system, and shipping with a free A-mount lens adapter, the VG900 sits stoically at the top of Sony's line of interchangeable-lens Handycams. Despite its astounding specs, the fact that the camcorder can't record 4K video-and questions surrounding the actual benefit of using a 24-megapixel image sensor to record a 1920 x 1080 video image-are likely to raise doubts about this expensive camcorder.
