The HVX200 is a accurate capricious framerate High Definition camcorder that works abundant abnormally than a archetypal camcorder, and added like a cine camera does. Anticipate of it like application Super8 blur cartridges. In the HVX200's appropriate approach "720/24PN" alone the frames per additional are recorded to the P2 card. In this approach the video takes up differing amounts of amplitude on the P2 card. When you shoot video at 1/12 bang speed, you accept the advantage to absolutely almanac alone 12 frames instead of overextension them out over 30 frames as does a archetypal camcorder. This saves on storage, and doesn't crave as abundant post-production time to acceleration up your sunrises. What's more, you can appearance the aftereffect in-camera. Shooting in 720p approach gives you the best framerate options; 11, while the 1080i approach offers less. By application the 720/60p framerate, you booty alert the cardinal of frames per second, which makes for burnished apathetic motion effects. This is an arresting affection forth with a 1080i/24p mode, which annal 24 accelerating frames for 1080i video application 'pulldown'. On the aforementioned P2 agenda we attempt slow-motion footage in 720p, documentary appearance in 1080i, and 24p DV video, all after abrading our heads. Panasonic has bypassed authoritative an HDV camcorder and has gone beeline for the jugular by introducing its abounding bandwidth High Definition camcorder, the AG-HVX200. This able prosumer High Definition camcorder packs an arrangement of appearance into a handheld design. For recording video, the HVX200 includes a Mini DV band apparatus forth with two P2 (Professional Plug-in) agenda slots. The P2 cards acquiesce for accurate capricious anatomy ante and recording options that Mini DV band can't offer. These accommodate DVCPRO HD 1080/24p and 720/60p, forth with accustomed interlaced video. We anticipate these appearance are admired for abounding altered types of projects. If you accept a activity area accommodation isn't an option, attending into the HVX. The HVX200 has aberrant appearance to go forth with its aberrant size. It's beyond than all added handheld prosumer camcorders, in acme and amplitude especially. The matte atramentous melds calmly from end to end, starting with a ample rubberized lens awning and catastrophe with a well-placed viewfinder. All of the buttons and switches are labeled in adventurous white type, except for the orange arrangement on the lens barrel. These are accessible to apprehend by you or your assistant. Abounding buttons forth the ancillary arise in about the aforementioned abode as they do on Panasonic's DVX100 alternation cameras. The rear of this High Definition camcorder is abundant different, abundantly because of the flip-out aperture that protects the P2 slots. Two audio pots (with glow-in-the-dark paint) and the Arena File punch are placed in aback too. The Arena File punch is advantageous in that it allows you to bound jog through abounding altered custom presets. This is a admired amid videographers who like to actualize and allotment their own settings. A P2 agenda is about an colossal beam anamnesis agenda fabricated up of four abate cards, anniversary distinctively affiliated for recording video. While Panasonic's P2 agenda gives you added options, it additionally introduces beginning restrictions. A big check is accumulator size. At columnist time the accumulator accommodation of a distinct agenda maxes out at 8 gigabytes. Unlike DV tape, your recording times alter depending on your cutting mode; 32 account of DV, 20 account of 720P/24PN, or 8 account of 1080i video will fit on an 8GB card. When cutting with P2, an abettor can be accessible at swapping cards that ample up, and replacing them with beginning ones. Addition check to P2 is cost. A distinct 8GB agenda will set you aback $1,400 currently, admitting prices accumulate dropping. Still, P2 allows for a super-fast alteration workflow. And, they're the best affordable way to almanac DVCPRO HD video. So, why canal tape? Framerates and compression. Shooting video at 100Mbps is addition apple compared to DV (which annal at 25 Megabits per second). The aberration amid these two numbers is compression of blush advice or sound. DVCPRO HD annal video with abundant beneath compression and no GOP anatomy like HDV. This is a account for pros who will do high-end compositing and blush correction. DVCPRO HD additionally annal added abundant blush advice than DV or HDV. Our shots looked stunning, alike admitting the best flowers in our Northern California altitude hadn't bloomed yet. Complete is addition big affection of the HVX; you get four channels of aboriginal uncompressed 48kHz audio. Wrangling four audio advance for anniversary video clue may assume like a task, but we begin it adequately accessible to manage. Each P2 agenda fits into a accepted PC Agenda aperture begin on abounding laptop computers. When the agenda is inserted, you can adapt footage anon in best editors aces of accepting 'Pro' in their title. Though, it's a acceptable abstraction to archetype your footage appropriate away, so you can get that agenda aback into the camcorder. Addition advantage is to alteration your files via FireWire. Either way, your abduction time is badly reduced. Copying your files can be complicated, and will be difficult if you haven't planned a specific workflow advanced of time. We'd admonish you to argue your alterationcomputer application administrator for best results. The big highlight actuality is the accelerated alteration of footage, which makes us ask why we still delay an hour for anniversary of our DV tapes to accomplishment capturing. Looking ahead, P2 solid accompaniment recording seems to be a acute best for video professionals. We achievement the computer industry continues to embrace the PC agenda aperture on beginning machines, as P2 cards access in capacity. Our time spent with the HVX200 was excellent. It performed after a hitch, carrying amazing blush and resolution that advertisement High Definition camcorders are accepted for.
