As a Panasonic AG-HVX200
owner, I'm quite familiar with their line of P2 cameras. In 2004, the
company was the first to bring a broadcast-quality codec to the
Prosumer market. Fast forward five years and they've done it again.
This time in the form of the AG-HPX300,
an impressive camera that blurs the lines between the professional and
the Prosumer. At its price point, I can't really think of anything like
it. Keep in mind, everything on the HPX300 is included; the lens is not
an add-on. How cool is that? The most noticeable features are the ENG
form factor and three 1080p resolution CMOS sensors. Most importantly
the HPX300 incorporates Panasonic's new flagship full raster 10-bit
4:2:2 codec, AVC-Intra. If that sounds like a mouthful, don't worry,
I'll explain.
