Questions & Answers

Shopper : Shutter type?
SCOTT M : Does the EVF stay on if the the monitor is in use? Or is it either/or?TERRY S : IF you are using the flip out LED, the eyepiece will come on when you put your eye up to the cup. It is pretty quick and responsive (<1sec). It will stay on until 5 sec after you remove your eye from the eyepiece. The best thing is that the flip out LED will NOT turn off. Much better than the AGX200. So, NO, not either/OR. BTW, if you are ONLY using the eyepiece, it will still turn off when you remove your eye from the eyepiece, which might get annoying to some. There may be a setting to change that, have never looked.JACKIE G : The EVF does not stay on, but when you move your eye into position to look through the EVF, it will turn on. There is a menu setting for the sensitivity in relation to your movement near the EVF.JOSEPH M : I’m pretty sure it’s programmable so you can choose.TOM E : EVF turns on when you position your eye next to the eye piece.
STEVEN L : I currently have Panasonic AG-CX350. I am about to order another one and see the model number is now AG-CX350PJ5 at other sites but is still listed as AG-CX350 here. I'm sure there is something upgraded in the hardware/firmware but I haven't really been able to find anything on the specific differences/changes. Any ideas?

Complements GH5s, GH6, Varicam LT/HS/35 & others but cannot replace them completely. Lacks true optical sharpness at extreme wide and tele.

For the $3.7K total price, no complaint here. Has incredible features for a 1-piece camcorder. Love the IR, optical stabilization, iZoom, 59.94p, small-form factor, smooth servo zoom..) With that in mind, don't expect this cam to perform like a AJ-CX4000 w/ a $40K UHD 2/3" lens. The extreme wide end and close-up (before iZoom) are just plain soft. I clearly see the focus assist is in red, but it just couldn't resolve the image well. Has to be the economy lens here. This is why a real UHD lens costs about $35-45K. I'd shoot z100-200 and max out at z750. Anything beyond that won't look good due to optical performance limitations. The autofocus is pretty slow (latest July 2022 firmware). Utterly useless in many cases because it can't track the subject fast enough. Manual focus is adequate. Just doesn't have that fine detail or tactile feel as on a 2/3" UHD or HD Fujinon or Canon lenses. Most of the time I'm able to track the moving subject during the parade during a MCU and zoom out. But there is also many focus misses due to the ultra-fine focus ring. It'll take a while to get used to coming from a 2/3" broadcast lenses. Servo zoom in/out is actually pretty decent. It can do a slow creep and accelerate to a fast zoom just like the on the 2/3". 3rd party controller, such as the Varizoom VZ Rock can mimic the CX350's zoom rocker. The parafocal ability on the lens is decent. I can zoom in/out on the subject and it remains in focus. The only thing the CX-350 can't do is a super fast 1s servo zoom in/out that a super wide angle 2/3" can do. That itself is an artistic shooting style. Can't shoot super wide at certain tight locations. 24mm is wide but there are numerous situations where a super wide rectilinear 16-18mm is needed to get the entire building in the frame. Low-light with and without LOW SENS function is adequate. It simply doesn't have super low-light performance found on the GH5s series. VLog mode is decent. Has similar look to GH5, GH6, Varicam 35/LT/HS. The GH5 and GH6 is a little too sharp even sharpness is set to 0. But this looks very close. The Super Slow or HFR from 61-120 fps@1080p is very decent. Doesn't suffer the aliasing artifacts like the GH5s. This cam is a perfect addition to my GH5s but cannot replace it during low-light and super wide angle shots. There are scenarios where I can't do servo tracking shot on the GH5s. This fills that gap but doesn't replace my GH5s w/ Leica 10-25mm, 25-50mm, 8-16... Mobility and transporting cam from location to location are also very good. The camera is very light for me to carry the entire cam and tripod w/ out sweating too much. On a 2/3" setup, it's much heavier but the reward is its no-compromise optical and overall picture performance in all focal ranges and zoom. Handheld stabilization is quite good. Was taking a 2-mile hike with a very steep incline. Taking a tripod is too heavy. The Hybrid OIS and different stabilization modes enabled many useable handheld shots w/ no tripod. The shakiness is smoothened drastically! Impressive here. In-cam CX350 stabilization is far superior to using NLE apps method. Lack of genlock on the cam is not a deal-breaker. I can live with being 1 frame off when syncing with other equipment. Can't give it a 5-star due to lackluster optical performance at 4K. Everything else is great though.

A Lot of Camera for the Money!

I'm truly amazed that a camera that records beautiful images in 4K 10 bit, with incredible zoom range, 5 axis image stabilization and live streaming sells for $3,700. I'm very happy with it as well as Adorama to say the least.

Great upgrade in quality with easy to handle camera

Amazing camera. Easy to use and a nice upgrade in image quality from my old Panasonic. Commercial video projects need versatile tools and what I used to create with a monster size rig is now handled with this camera. As always, easy order, quick delivery and great customer service.

Best camcorder I've owned

It's been a while since I bought a small-sensor camera. Before purchasing the CX350, I tried a JVC HM620 (which was disappointing), and a Canon XF400 (which had a nice picture but I didn't like the ergonomics). I came up with a list of criteria: • 1" sensor • Proper iris, focus, and zoom controls • Good low-light performance (for a camcorder) • Built-in ND filters • XLR jacks • Good zoom range. • Uses easy-to-find SD cards This Panasonic ticked all the boxes . I've used it on two shoots and I'm very happy with it. The 10-bit color is incredible and so much fun to grade! If you need a versatile camera for news or documentary (or possibly even cinema), you should give this a good look. It's a joy to use.

This camera won a battle between considering the purchase of a dslr

This camera won a battle between considering the purchase of a dslr. A single fixed lens with ability to go wide 24mm and go long at 10bit 4-2-2. 16mb mos chip is fast and wont dissapoint. Connectivity with xlr mics, fans for cooling and the professional look, ups my game in front of clients.

I am very happy with the new AG CX350. We had a very early 200 model with the big P2 cards and it was a workhorse for years. We have several Canon 5D systems and another 4K cinema camera, but wanted an all-in-one 4K workhorse like the 200 was. I am not disappointed. I especially like the access to HEVC h.265 and the high data rate 4K .mov codec. We have a seven day production coming up that will allow me to really put it though it's paces, but I’m confident it will live up to my expectations.
