The Panasonic AG-HVX200 answers the demands of the professional HDTV photographer with a compact and feature packed acquisition tool. The camera is compatible with DVCPRO HD DVCPRO50 DVCPRO25 and consumer DV recording standards. It uses 3 wide aspect CCDs for true 16:9 recordings. It has a wide angle Leica Dicomar 13x Zoom lens with advanced glass coatings. The most significant advance is that it uses the P2 memory cards for recording. This disk based recording medium makes the video immediately accessible to non-linear systems leaving behind a digitizing process that tape always required. This is a special kit that includes two 8GB P2 solid-state memory cards.

So far so Great

"After reading the manual, and most of the book that comes with it( which really covers the practical use of most functions ect..),and using it in the field, I think its great. I shoot Professionally covering sports ect.. and really like how the basic desireable manual, and optional auto controls are laid out( white balance, Iris ect..). The controls and the menu are strait forward if you have read about these op..." Read Full Review »

This camera is evil

"I've been using the HVX200 for eighteen months now. When my station gave it to me as a new hire, it literally came straight out of the box. In the first year of use, it was in the shop no less than four months with different issues. I'll get to some of those later. As you can tell from my title, I do not like this camera. In fact, I hate it. But to be fair, there are some good things about this camera. The obvi..." Read Full Review »

"The Ps and Multi codec for shooting purposes are the most attractive thing about this camera.



The HD image is like a Rolls Royce compared to a Honda ( the low res DV format). Multiple frame rate are phenominal.



The lens is awsome although I find the focusing a challenge, they do give you a foc …"  Read Full Review »
