DV-EXPO, Photos and Other Items...

OK now we have more deep dig on compression. It is good.
Next thing for Jan is start thinking about implementing adjustable GOP (from 1 intraframe option towards standard 0.5sec length).

very nice price.
Jan i'm pretty sure official release date isn't announced yet although it's most likely december 15-20 sometime.
but my question is, how likely do you think it will be for people to be able to obtain this camera if they DIDN"T pre order it by christmas. Is it possible for me to walk in and purchase it in a store or do you foresee the demand being way too high that the cam will be completely unavailable to january or for months? I just don't know your production numbers and how many you guys will be able to produce by then but i'm worried.
 
Another question for Jan - any plans to sell as a bundle with the 14-140?

BTW, just want join the chorus and say that I'm thrilled to be rejoining the Panasonic fold with this cam. The HVX wasn't a good progression from the dvx for me, but this cam is bringing me back. Jan is a quality person, no other vendor has anything close to her in this space, looking forward to being a Panasonic customer again.
 
nice interview Jan! I can tell you worked a lot these weeks and still sit through these same questions without loosing patience, thats something!!
 
A new version of the Jan Crittenden DVExpo presentation on the AG-AF100 with an updated frame rate slide is now uploaded. Jan sent the new frame rate slide to clarify some confusion about the native frame rate. It is also easier to read because I figured out how to get the right 9:16 aspect ratio in the PDF file. Download the new version using the link below:

Thank you all for the wonderful coverage of the AF-100. I was only at DV Expo on Wednesday and between conducting 3 sessions,MC-ing 2 drawings, and a couple of meetings, I barely had time to see anything. At some point, I will get a few days with an AF-100 and will be reviewing. Meanwhile, I still am in awe of Jan's energy knowing both how she works the shows and how she works behind the scenes.

Bob,
While at the Pana booth at DV Expo, I thought I heard it mentioned that the HD-SDI out was 4:2:2. I forgot to ask about that (and if the AF100 took the large sized DVX batteries).
What's the info on that?
Short term memory loss ain't fun!
Thanks,
Ken
 
The HD-SDI out is 4:2:2 8 bit. So you can throw on a nano flash, ki pro, or that crazy expensive p2 recorder :D They have said the camera takes just the AVCCAM line of batteries.

I had one last video from DV-Expo, the Panasonic AG-3DA1 Camera:


This was shot on the Panasonic HMC40 and edited on Adobe Premier Elements 9.
