The AG-HPX250 Hand-Held Camcorder is Panasonic?s revolutionary new camcorder that lets you record videos with high-quality AVC-Intra 100 Mb/s (10-bit 4:2:2) codec. The AVC-Intra 100 Mb/s (10-bit 4:2:2) codec is a video coding that is fully compliant with the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard, and is the perfect choice for any project involving tasks like high quality green screen shooting. This lightweight, ultra-compact Panasonic camcorder is built with a spectacularly essential 22x zoom lens and 3.45? LCD Monitor, which let you record high-definition videos even from afar and on a wider view. Plus, it is equipped with the Optical Image Stabilization that delivers great results under any circumstances.
Moreover, the AG-HPX250 Hand-Held Camcorder?s new 2.2 Mp 1/3?-type 3MOS imager offers versatility, reliability, and value as it records video formats not just only AVC-Intra, but also several flavors of DVCPRO (including DVCPRO HD), as well as DV. This camera sensor will give you brilliant HD resolution each and every time. Three individual control rings, on the other hand, allow you to manually control the iris, the zoom, and the focus options of the camera. Great for native slow- and fast-motion video-recording effects, the Panasonic AG-HPX250 2.2MP P2 HD Hand-Held Camcorder consistently provides outstanding image quality that will definitely stand out. With this lightweight Panasonic camcorder, you will no longer have to sacrifice quality for mobility. It is the perfect choice for professional or freelance videographers.
Product Highlights
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.
