Optical Image Stabilizer -Panasonic's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer dramatically reduces the blurring caused by hand-shake. This results in sharp, crisp, beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional shading. The use of low-dispersion glass reduces color aberration and increases resolution, while a multi-coating process minimizes flare and ghosting. The Leica Dicomar lens incorporates advanced Leica optical technology. Superior Quality Lens - Developed specifically for HD recording, the 13x zoom lens system features a 82-mm diameter filter along with 15 lens elements in 11 groups, including three aspherical lenses. A 4GB card will record 4 minutes of the highest quality HDTV video, 10 minutes of 720p/24 frame video or up to 16 minutes of standard definition DVCPRO25 or consumer DV video. There are currently a choice among 4GB and 8GB P2 cards. Because the core P2 products use no drive mechanisms they provide superior resistance to impact, vibration and temperature change.
It was developed as a recording memory for professional systems. P2 Flash Memory Recording Storage - The AG-HVX200 is the first camcorder featuring the P2 (professional plug-in) card. This disk based recording medium makes the video immediately accessible to non-linear systems leaving behind a digitizing process that tape always required. The most significant advance is that it uses the P2 memory cards for recording. It has a wide angle Leica Dicomar 13x Zoom lens with advanced glass coatings.
It uses 3 wide aspect CCDs for true 16:9 recordings. The camera is compatible with DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO25 and consumer DV recording standards. The Panasonic AG-HVX200 answers the demands of the professional HDTV photographer with a compact and feature packed acquisition tool.
