The Panasonic VariCam Camcorders are really awesome cameras. Still, I do not understand the use of the term camcorder; tell me that the $200 hobby camera is a Camcorder but not this professional HD camera – how about a Cinecam? Or maybe HD Digital Camera System? I mean this baby commands respect – as well as the HPX3700 – imagine telling the high profile actor, “We will be using the HPX2700 Camcorder” – “ummmm, can I bail?”
$39,950.00 (although they appear to have a kind of trade in deal)
Well, lets see this one strut:
| Effective Pixel Resolution | 1920 x 1080 pixels (720p – 1080p switchable) |

| Sensor | 2.2MP 3-Chip 2/3 inch |
