Hpx300 rumors

maybe the HPX300 is just an HPX170 with AVC-Intra.

Not in form factor--it definitely is not a palmcorder, it is a shoulder mount camera.
The mystery is sensor size, type, resolution. All will be revealed on the 11th.

What kind of NDA did you sign?
The "you can spill it out drop by drop" one?:beer:

Anyway, a EX3/XL style Pana would be the killer.
The killer for my intensions to buy it.

Seriously: "Handlecams" (Hvx/EX1...) are great, shouldermount cams are great.
Anything inbetween looses the small, flexible formfactor of a handlecam and misses the balance and steadyness of a shouldermount.
(sth like the JVC HD250 could win me over though...)
 
It would be nice to see Panasonic make a big splash again. Remember when the HVX200 was almost ready to be released? I have never been so hyped with anticipation.

For this camera, whic has probably been mistakenly named here as the HPX300, I am not that hyped but if it has some of these hot new features, it could be pretty hype worthy.

Sounds interesting. Thanks for the specs Lumiere. Any word on lenses or pricing?

I'm a little disappointed because I was hoping for a bigger sensor. But I'm willing to wait and see how the picture looks, and what price point they put it in.
 
Boo tiny sensor. What is it with Panasonic and these tiny-ass sensors, man?

I was hoping for something 1/2" or close to use with the new Relays... now what?
 
And the guy says that people do mistake by mixing the hpx 300 with AG-HMC41, that will come in August 2009 with 1/4″ 3MOS sensor and AVCHD codec, but hpx will be available on march, in europe :)
 
1/3´´? WTF? one of the reason´s to step up from the HVX200 or HPX170 would be the shallower DOF of the 2/3´´and also the light sensitivity-noise ratio of 2/3´´.
Even if it is a 3mos it probably will have the typical 1/3´´look.

But one never knows. I anyway rather have less res and 2/3´´, kinda like I rather shoot with a 6MP DSLR than a 12MP P&S fotocam.
