Any news on the HPX2100?
As I understand the HPX-2100 will be released in January. I haven’t read diddly squat about it besides the initial PR release. Any word out there on the new camera?

If you learn anything, can you try and remember to post back here? I am curious about the H.264 based codec and what it means for quality and editing, or if that’s just vaporware.

Will do. The Panasonic rep talked about the H264-codec; defintely no vapourware. I’ll be looking at an actual production model apparently. (Digital Media World Dec 5-7)

Just heard that Grass Valley will have a late beta version of Infinity there as well.

Isn’t that the first of the AVH264 cameras… using the H.264 codec to compress it down and record on a disc?

The compression will be really light with 100mbs. H264 looks gorgeous at 8mbs so who knows what 100mbs will look like. Excellent I imagine. I also hear great things about the JPEG2000 format Infinity uses. Tape and optical disc 😉 cameras are really to feel the pinch from these two new technologies.

While you’re there, see if they’ll tell you anything about the new HPX500. That one sounds sweet! 2/3″ chips, interchangeable lens, four P2 slots, and everything the HVX does — 24P, 30P, 720/60P, 1080/60i, variable frame rates, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, DV, etc. Only thing we’ve seen so far was a Japanese press release, but it would be great to hear something further!

Hi Barry,
I’ll check it out. I haven’t heard of the HPX500. Sounds interesting.
