Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

well if its a 1/3 ccd cam i hope they stay att 720 and dont go 1080, the pixels are small enough.
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

well, although the scource of info here isnt the most credible in my books (camcorder info), we all know that something like this is coming    ...my only real curiosity is when it will hit the streets.  announced at NAB doesnt neccessarily mean available for sale right after NAB. ..hopefully if they do announce the new thing there, they will fill us in on when you can expect to see one in my hands.
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

I dont think IT will be released for awhile.. but who knows. We say thier mockup last year at NAB, and nothing really has come of that funny looking thing.

Companies however are getting very good at keeping secrets.. so we may get a nice surprise.

Hey just remembered.. does anyone else remember "IT" a few years ago.. the most innovative thing ever, code named Ginger... or "IT". ha ha.. and it turned out to be the Gay Segway... now that is marketing at it's best.
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

So...If it would be 1080_p_, then it would have the same resolution as the Sony Cinealta for 100 000$? I mean, apart from the quality of the lens, the image processing, and so on? Or does the Cinealta record in a higher resolution, and the HDX would 'only' be 1080x720 like the Sony HDV, but progressive, not interlaced?
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

The CineAlta images at 1920x1080p, but records at 1440x1080psf.

The Sony FX1/Z1 images at 960x1080i, but uses pixel-shift to get it up to 1440x1080, and then records 1440x1080i.

There's no way to know what the Panasonic may or may not do. We'd need to hear the specs on the CCD's. If it were to be 1080, it would be imaged at whatever size the CCD's support, and then recorded at 1280x1080.

HDCAM and HDV use a 33% up-rez on playback (1440 x 1.333 = 1920). DVCPRO-HD uses a 50% up-rez on playback (1280 x 1.50 = 1920).
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

please Mr Panasonic, can u give us some infos?
i swear to god i will not buy the sony z1 finally and wait to buy your product ....
and i m probably not the only one ....
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

wow!  this is totally dejavu!  feels like the time when panasonic first introduced the dvx100!  i remember going to nab and trying to get my hands on the thing as i tried to push my way through the crowd.  ;)  tape, p2...hopefully we get the best of both worlds...16:9(highly likely) no more anamorphic focusing problems(but at what expense of 4:3 quality?).  exciting times indeed...hdx100...hmmm...so will we see an hdxuser.com or integrate it into this wonderful site?  :)

by the way, those looking to go to nab, you can still use code: MJ0952 to get into the exhibits hall for free...i tested it this morning...
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

What would be sweet if I can use my matte box and follow focus from my DVX as well.
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

The brilliance of this is that even if Panasonic were taking a loss on this camera, the very introduction of a 24p HD pro-sumer camera will almost certainly kill HDV as a viable format, just as Sony and others have ramped up production on HDV cameras.

If they can get this to a price point compeditive with the XL2 and Sony's HDV cameras, then Panasonic will once again leap-frog the competition and set the standard everyone else will be scrambling to meet.

I think it was designed to have thousands of people scream "that's IT?!!!!!"

Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

It will have to be under $5,000 or they will price a lot of people out. $5,000 to $10,000 is not prosumer. Plus you add a $4,000 card. That can't be right!! I can buy 1Gig compactflash cards for $100 or something.

Didn't Sony first talk like the Z1 would be $8,000? Then it came out under $5,000.
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

my guess is that the HDX100 will be available very soon.

Why ?

because DVCPro50 and DVCProHD are existing formats that are stable,
proven, already compatible with Editing Suites, decks etc...

remember, Sony had to develop the FX around a new format (HDV).

I might be wrong, but i truly feel it will be here soon.
I hope so !

I was going to buy the XL2 because of the ease of working with 16:9, but if the HDX100 rumour is confirmed by Panasonic, i will certainly wait.
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

I hope it will be available soon even if I won't be able to afford it if it's over 5 000$
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

Just a crazy thought, but maybe that's why Apple has been slow on the HDV codecs for FCPHD since the Panny codecs are already there.
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

he he...

not crazy at all Gary !

That's exactly why i think we will see the new camcorder soon.

but again, pure speculation.
 
Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

Hey,

What is shure, from Jan Crittenden@creativecow, is:

"What the Panasonic folks said yesterday was that the camcorder would be under $10,000. Basically they said, under $10,000, 24P, DVCPROHD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO. They did not say what was to be included with the $10,000."

Re: AJ-HDX100 - check camcorderinfo.com

This is like a boxing combat (wich don´t follow at all). Z1 started to fly not even two weeks ago, XL2 not too much either and now we have this leak...

Wich means that people willing to buy these cameras put the call on hold till NAB, or even cancelled them directly to be faithful to Pana.

Canon and Sony got a big hit in their stomachs! a real painful one! May Pana´s fans feel pity for these buyers... Hehehe...

Hello,

I know but Jan hadn't posted anything about on dvxuser.com (now it's ok in the HD-FX forum)., that's why I put the "source" in my post.

I suspect is has far less to do with being "faithful" to Panasonic than it does having a prosumer version of DVCPRO-HD in 24p.

Besides, the XL2 was announced 9 months ago.
