Product Highlights

  • AVC-Intra 100 Mb/s (10-bit 4:2:2) codec: allows you to record SD and HD videos with high-quality resolutions
  • 22x zoom lens: helps you record professional-quality videos even from afar
  • Optical Image Stabilization: lets you handle video recordings without losing clarity under shaky hands
  • 2.2 Mp 1/3?-type 3MOS imager: helps you capture video recordings with true HD resolutions
  • Three individual control rings: allow you to manually control the iris, the zoom, and the focus options of the camera
  • Lightweight, handheld camcorder: gives you the benefit of capturing quality videos anywhere while experiencing operational convenience and increased mobility

The Panasonic AG-HPX250 P2 HD Handheld Camcorder is the first handheld professional camcorder to record the extremely high-quality AVC-Intra 100 Mb/s (10-bit 4:2:2) codec. Featuring an integrated 22x zoom lens and a 2.2 Mp 1/3"-type 3MOS imager, the versatile HPX250 records not only AVC-Intra but also several flavors of DVCPRO (including DVCPRO HD) as well as DV. A variety of frame rates are possible in DVCPRO modes, for native slow- and fast-motion effects.

For video that will later endure heavy processing in the form of effects and other processes, the intra-frame compression options of the HPX250 are crucial. The AVC-Intra 100 codec is a perfect choice for any projects that involve tasks such as green screen shooting. The HPX250 could thrive as the second camcorder on an independent feature production or as the go-to model for a freelance videographer who does a variety of jobs, from SD to HD - and with support for PAL/NTSC signal systems, it will cross oceans without missing a beat. Its compact size makes it hard to leave at home.

For rock-solid reliability, professional P2 cards provide more peace of mind than their SD brethren from the world of mass-market consumer electronics. With two slots, you can record either simultaneously (for creating an instant back-up) or sequentially, with hot-swap support.
