Before You buy,do Yourself a favour and have a look at new JVC hd monitors.
I find them better then LCD hd Panasonics.

[Ron Lindeboom] “I have been talking with one of the Cow leaders who has been using one for some time now and he’s a happy camper. Does he think it’s a perfect camera? Hardly. But is he impressed with it? Absolutely.”

Great Ron.Would it be possible for him to give us some feed back and test results??
Since I have got 2/3′ DVCPRO 50 equipment,Pana200 would be good for some extra shots.I am not expecting anything dramatic from Pana200,but some decent suplement to my current gear.

I just find it amazing if I ask on 30th of December about CCD,I am getting no answers.

[Noah Kadner] “Yeah- gimme a break Jiri. Panasonic’s been up front and above board with the HVX200 every step of the way, following the marketing and release pattern of the original DVX100 almost to the letter. Perhaps it’s just your feverish desire making you a little cuckoo?”

Since You know it all,give me some solid details on CCD and some test results.
You must be the kind buying the cars without the knowledge of how many cylinders they have….

Before Z1,Canon H1 and JVC 100 were released,we all knew the specs and we all could really test each all of them BEFORE delivery and I really mean test it.So what is wrong with this.
..I really wonder who actually is “a little cuckoo” here…

Very unusual camera release!
I have not seen anything like that in more then 20 years of business..
First they print brochures,then they produce “models” and now they are on
holiday….Panasonic Marketing Department in FULL swing!!
If the boys from Mercedes were releasing new models of cars like that,half of the worforce would be out of job.
I just wish I myself could work like that and still get paid…..
…..is there anybody out there who has received this mystery camera???

[Michael Brennan] “In light of the above the 200 is exceptional value, I hope to use one in New Zealand in a few weeks, in cockpit of a glider, as it appears to be the smallest highest quality camera for the job until the Iconix appears.”

You can shoot on film using Aaton super 16 mini.

[Jan Crittenden Livingston] “It is a CCD, not CMOS.

And that is okay.”

And what CCD is it??
Only 5 days to go….

[David Battistella] “In EFP production the workflow is going to have to be a bit different. The big benefit to the HVX is that it records HD formats to the P2 and it does the same variable frame rates the Varicam does. IMHO I think that people will lean to this camera over the Varicam now because up to this point those are the two huge beniftis to shooting varicam.Pundits will say that the Varicam chips are bigger etc, but hey, the Varicam compresses everything down to the same codec. That is a killer. You might say garbage in Garbage out, but at the end of the day you are dealing with the same compression rates with the HVX and the Varicam. If I was a recent Varicam owner, this would upset me because I think that the best picture you could now get out of a Varicam is in direct to disk mode, which move it out of the field and into the studio.”

Size of 2/3′ chip,Broadcast Digital processing of 2/3′ camera and 2/3′
proper HD glass will make some difference.Varicam owners are not worried
about Pana200.It is nice to have the same format,then all you need is the rest….
Question:If Varicam cost the same money as Pana200,which would You buy??

[David Battistella] “Jiri,

Can you explain what CMOS is? Why are these chips better?”

David,Google helped me a lot,but in short,CMOS will give You more pixels per chip,use less power and is cheaper to produce.
Anyway David,here is some more info thanx to Google again.

I am sure Sony are testing this new technology in their low end video cameras
at the moment and in about 2year these chips(CMOS)will be more common in High End Video Camera.
