Haha I like Steve’s, post. I am looking at both cameras and I’m trying to find a reason why the HMC-150, is cheaper, because it seems like it is much more convenient and the recording format is so cheap. If you don’t believe me watch this video. https://vimeo.com/4182572 (there is slight artifacting on the right hand side, this is due to an NLE problem it sometimes occurs due to supposed decoding (only effects 1080p) errors https://www.dvinfo.net/conf/panasonic-avccam-camcorders/145297-hmc-150-1080p-artifacts.html) look the exact same. The HPX is slightly wider, but you can buy a Century wide angle and still save over $1,000. The only thing that really seperates the cams is just workflow, you will need a beefy machine to edit AVCHD natively. However, using a intermediate codec you can edit easily on all machines, only downside is file size, but you can get 1TB drives for sub $100. It’s really a no-brainer I think.
