AG-HPX250PJ

The Panasonic HPX250 P2 HD Handheld Camcorder with 10-bit, 4:2:2 independent-frame recording establishes a new image quality standard for mobile HD acquisition.

The high-performance AG-HPX250 P2 handheld fills out the P2HD Series by incorporating the newest technologies throughout — in the lens, camera and recorder sections. The newly developed 22x zoom lens covers a wide shooting range, from wide-angle to telephoto, and features three manual rings for precise control. Imaging is optimized by the high-sensitivity, low-noise 1/3-type 2.2-megapixel U.L.T. (Ultra Luminance Technology) 3MOS image sensor. And the AG-HPX250 is the first handheld model to support AVC-Intra codecs. This combination produces a level of performance that rivals many full-size shoulder-type camera recorders, and adds the high-quality acquisition of Full-HD (1920 x 1080) and 10 bit, 4:2:2 full sample, broadcast-level images. Image expression is also boosted by the Variable Frame Rate (VFR) function, and system expansion for broadcasting and other production applications is provided by multi-camera synchronizing. The stylish design of the AG-HPX250 adds further to both mobility and operating ease, and opens a new stage for news gathering and image acquisition.
