Technology Trends

The Panasonic HVX200A is not a camera for beginners, but it has many user-friendly automated functions and can be used by anyone willing to learn and wanting to create professional footage whether you are an upcoming independent filmmaker or a pro videographer! The HVX200A is a new and more improved version of the previous Panasonic AG-HVX200 and If you’ve ever used the DVX100, you’ll adapt to the HVX quite easy!

Videotape recording is now almost a finished chapter in camcorder technology, but since many are so used to tapes and still don’t wanna upgrade all their equipment, this camcorder can cater to both needs while moving into the new tapeless HD era. The new P2 technology is impressive, you can delete unwanted files as you go and then drop the ones you want to keep onto a hard drive and empty the P2 cards to shoot some more! The cards are still expensive but are coming down fast in prize and should save you money down the line since you don’t have to buy new tapes all the time and the cards can be used over and over. P2 technology also leaves behind the time-consuming digitizing process that tapes always required!

Besides the “hybrid” technology the HVX200A packs a large 82mm 13X leica zoom lens with a built-in wide angle, 1/3″ 16:9 progressive 3-CCD image processor, variable frame rates, uncompressed 16-bit 4-channel digital audio and the ability to shoot in many different formats including 480i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p DVCPro HD!

The Panasonic HVX200A creates amazing looking footage with vibrant colors and stunning image clarity. No other camcorder in this class offers the cinematic possibilities or more potentials in the hands of a skilled shooter!
