I tried using this HVX200 camera for a 3-day Indian wedding. I think the camera only shoots DVC Pro, and not Intra. So these two really expensive 32gb p2 cards that I purchased can only record up to 37 minutes each.  So that means I paid [$] for one p2 card that can only record up to 37 minutes? That's kind of a ridiculous price for a card that can only shoot for a half hour.  Disappointed that the camera can't record intra.  (Then I tried out the same p2 cards on an HPX300, which has intra record capability, and I was able to shoot up to 75 minutes on one card alone). If I'm shooting a 1.5 hour ceremony, it's not very fun to keep dumping cards every 30 minutes to a laptop.The camera has a tape deck for recording tapes that hold about 60 minutes of footage, but unlike the JVC GY-HD100 series, this camera CANNOT record HD onto the tapes. The tapes only capture SD footage. Another disappointment. If you're looking to shoot handheld video, it will look shaky. There is no shoulder mount to this camera. Big disappointment. But I knew that going into my purchase.I was never a fan of the LCD screen. It's hard to gauge focus. That's why there is a focus assist button. But that's still one more thing I have to worry about during run-and-gun shooting.I know I listed a bunch of negative things but there are some positives too. I think this camera can shoot 60 fps (slow motion). I think it also can do interval shooting for timelapses.

HVX200 not great for handheld shooting

We use this camera as main camera in curch video productions mainly. Also for producing short video ads.I initially had some fear of buying a [$] camera bundle on internet, but seeing the quality of the product, now I can buy confidently from Adorama.

Best deal in my life!

I purchased my Panasonic HVX200 used from Adorama about 3-4 months ago.  I have had no problems with it to this moment.  I use it for class projects, and will be shooting a short film with it next month.  The camera is somewhat complex, and for a first time user it might have a steep learning curve.  Image quality is good, and the sound isn't too bad either.  Biggest problem for me is P2 media being stored in an MXF container, especially since Final Cut Pro X cannot import media in said container.  Easy to avoid if you use a tape, or if you buy MXF4QT (although it is pricy).
