DVXuser.com exclusive hands on with the HVX200

Thanks guys. Man, I was looking at them going "I wish they took the photos a littlecloser.." - doh.

I noticed on the right side, around the corner from the P2 slots was a little "SD" symbol and something above it (flap?) is that a slot for storing scene files or other things?

How many pixels are the CCDs?

Why the 4:3 display?

Will we see any screen grabs before september?
 
Thanks for the pictures guys! I'm looking forward to reading the article.

Just a quick question because the model you showed looked different from the one in the brochure (for example, check out the location of the VCR P2 switch on the back of the camera). Which one will be the production model? Or maybe they're both just mock ups?
 
A couple quick questions...

1) Is the stock mattebox removable? I would imediately want to replace it with a 4x4

2) Is the profile taller then the DVX00? in the side by side photos it looks like it is (it also looks abit fatter and longer?) - if the camera is bigger, it would be a pain for all of us that had planned to keep bags and back packs fitted for the DVX.

3) Does the manual focus still have the interactive "distance" numbers displayed in the LCD?

4) Thanks for all your hard work guys!

Here's a couple more questions i'm sure will be answered soon.. :-)

Firewire.. 6 pin or 4?
What/where are teh other connectors? i'm seeing a flap(s?) above the XLRs.. somehting in there? PLEASE tell me it has RCA connectors and not some studpid [please god not new] multipin connector.
what about remote? ...I'm probably askign too much for LANC arn't I?

And someone asked about speed ramping.. IF possible how is that controlled? it's be awsome to do it remotly... [SOMEONE PLEASE build a USB RCU for these cameras...]
What's the HD output? 4.x.x ? And can it simultaniously output HD and SD? (for example the FX1 has one connectore for component AND composite, but cna only do one or the other.

We're really not seeing two different HVX's...
It's just that the same model is developing so fast, we're seeing it evolve before our very eyes-it must be made from that new self-replicating nanotech stuff! Hell Yeah! :happy:
By the end of Nab it'll look like a freakin Varicam.
 
Yes the camera is a fair bit larger, taller and much wider, but it feels more ergonomic when you are holding it like a camcorder (if you do that). Most bags however should fit it fine, as although it is larger it is basically the same form and most bags allow some moving around room.

Stock mattbox is removable

and as far as we know the ditance numbers are distance numbers now.

Article should be up in about 15 minutes.
 
yeah.. it's the same stuff Terminators are made of... so of you drop it it'll fix itself.

..and i'm sure it'll be replicating itself nice and fast too once it's available..

- woudl explain the "liquidy" 'hump'

thanks Jarred!

I don't mind bigger, but "taller"? the handle seems to be unnesessarily far from the body making it a fair bit taller when it doesn't need to be... so much for my $300 back pack :P

Actually if your AC drops it it just kills him, wich saves you alot of trouble of killing him yourself.
