Here’s a cool article on a cool new camera by Panasonic. I am a bit lost as to what the difference is between the HPX170 and the HVX200A so I am looking out for a nice comparison between the two. However looking at the screen shots in the article gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach - a knowing – a certainty that I could hit the ground running with this camera. In many ways the ergonomics are so similar to the DVX100BE that I have yet better. Simple things like the use of a more robust 6 pin FW400 situated at the back of the camera, I never had a problem with the cable unplugging but with the 4 pin on the right side of the DVX100 I was always having to wrap the FW around when recording on the fly.
This camera is currently bracketed with the HVX200A as part of the Video budget, just got to figure out how to get the money which is always such a problem with so much cool stuff out there like the RED One, the JLCooper ExclipseCX, the Mac Pro etc etc etc. Still wondering about that donate button heheheh or maybe I should start charging
