Hi,

Here is what I can say, it is a 1/3″ progressive imager that puts out more resolution than say the Sony Z1. The analog signal coming off of it captures 1080P/60 and then converts the signal from there.

Best,

Jan

Yes I do have a limited client base. I am in Dallas and do not shoot for TV. The real appeal of the HVX-200 is for my own projects and stock shooting. The P2 workflow will be great for me. It will lock-out the casual user and corporate types. Shooting stock footage with HDV is a waste of time.

OK Thank You,but I am not getting the information I need.

I would like to know whose idea it was to realease camera on December the 29th 2005.This is the time of Year when most of people are on holiday.
Why,if one wants the biggest “bang” around the the camera on release day,
would Panasonic Marketing team choose 29th of December??
Why would Panasonic Team have “prototype” demoed at DV Expo and stil not be able to tell us about CCD??

Can You imagine Mercedes Marketing Department releasing new Merc like that and on 29th of December?? It makes me wonder…

Well, if Panny promised to deliver q4/2005, maybe they like to keep their promises…

Will Panasonic release more info about ccd in the future or are you trying to keep these secrets forever?

” WHY would one pay this sort of money and not get
proper gear WITH talent. Nobody is discussing talent here”

because you get the “proper equipment that suits the project” and that just may be the hand size DV ” look ” if that is what they decide they want it to look like.

[Donatello]

would you have any resolutions charts comparing it to the Z1 you could post ..or just a resolution chart from the hxv

didn’t you state that all info on the camera/CCd’s etc would be given when the camera was officially introduced ( which i think most assumed Dv expo) on one of these boards within past 2 months ?

[donatello] “because you get the “proper equipment that suits the project” and that just may be the hand size DV ” look ” if that is what they decide they want it to look like.”

You can create your DV look in post….but during the shoot You can control your shots better with proper gear and save some time.

[Donatello]

tell that to steven S as he could have shot any format he wanted for full frontal but he choose XL1 then in post added more ? dirty look to it ..

then tell Oliver S that when he shot JFK in 35mm, 16mm ,super8, & video that he could have just shot 35 and fixed all the looks in post …

it’s a creative decision ( this is where TALENT plays) !!!
for some it might be shoot with the best and fix all the “looks” in post and for others a combination of using different camera/formats and fine tuning “look” in post ..

if you one decides to shoot DV for the “look” i don’t think they would want to control it that much as the DV “look” is more on the funky side … and if they wanted a cleaner “look” for DV ( the film November) they would control the light/locations with proper gear and they did shoot November with DVX100 …

most shoot with the DVX or any other hand size camera NOT by choice over 2/3″ SD/HD/film but because $$$$ made their decision not because it was a creative one…
