I came across this review of the Panasonic AG HPX170 via FreshDV:
For me it is very interesting because it is one of the cameras I have wanted – that and a Red One, but the Panasonic is more in my price range (well not right now). The review is by Adam Wilt and makes a few comparisons to the HVX200, would be interesting to find out how different the HPX170 is to the HVX200A.
Every time that there is a need to hire a better camera it seems that everyone is hiring the Panasonic HVX200 and not the Sony EX1. So I have not had a chance to see how the HVX200′s 4:2:2 with 720p helps with my Blue or Green Screen filming. I know that the EX1 produces a cleaner and better picture than the the Panasonic – or so I am told – but the colour decimation is 4:2:0, hmmm. But here is the HPX170 that also has a much better picture but with 4:2:2 colour decimation (noting that that is the case for the HVX200A since they share the same CCDs). So when the HPX170 becomes available for hire then I think I’ll book it 2/3 weeks in advance.
So when did Panasonic add the 6 pin FW400 connector? Man I have been missing out on a few things.
Terrific work! This is the kind of information that should be shared around the internet. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
Appreciate it for taking the time to discuss this, I look strongly about it and really enjoy learning a great deal of on this topic. If conceivable, despite the fact that you gain expertise, would you mind updating your place with skillful information? It is highly extraordinarily for me.
