Panasonic AG-HPX300 - Camcorder - High Definition - professional - widescreen - 2.2 Mpix - optical zoom: 17 x - supported memory: P2 Card - P2 Card











Technical Details

  • AVC-Intra uses the popular H.264/AVC codec, making it twice as efficient as DVCPRO HD at comparable bitrates. At 50mbps version of AVC-Intra will perform at the same quality as DVCPRO HD at 100mbps, allowing users to shoot for twice the duration per P2 card. If cranked up to 100mbps, the format performs beautifully with a full-raster 10-bit 4:2:2 based color system, making it the superior codec at its price-point.
  • The highly sophisticated 20-bit DSP found on the AG-HPX300 renders gamma and detail with superb accuracy. Most notably, the processor consumes very little power for maximum efficiency resulting in longer battery life.
  • A first at this price point, this high definition ENG-style camera looks and feels as durable as any other on the market today. All the buttons are positioned in the proper place making it well suited for news gathering, sports and event coverage. The almost 50/50 weight distribution is extremely comfortable when shoulder mounted during long shoots.
  • If your production calls for using the tried and true DVCPRO format, have no fear. The HPX300 comes with all the settings users have come to know and love on the HVX200 and HPX170, including DVCPRO 25, DVCPRO 50 and DVCPRO HD (100) in both standard and high definition. At DVCPRO HD, users can shoot 720p at multiple frame rates, along with 1080/60i and 1080/24p or 30p.
  • The high quality Fujinon 17x lens features Chromatic Aberration Correction (CAC) technology. Chromatic aberration usually appears as a hard pink glow at and around high contrast areas and lines. The phenomenon often results from imperfections in the camera lens' optics. While using compatible lenses, the AG-HPX300 can internally correct for chromatic aberration distortion through its sophisticated CAC technology
