Images of the the HDX.. .

Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

That camera was a balsa-wood mockup, and bears no relationship to the "HDX" that's likely to be announced at NAB.
 
Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

Jan,
I suppose you can't answer these question but I'll ask anyway.

Are we getting a more DVX form factor or this Super 8 variant?

Also I'm unclear as to weather there are one or two cameras forthcomeing. It seems to me there will be at least an HD(X) variant using P2 DVCPROHD. But there also seems to be speculation on a 16:9 Native DVX (DVX200) as well. Will the HDX be a hybrid HD/DV or strictly an HD camera with no tape transport at all?

Please be as candid as you feel comfortable with.
Thanks again for all your candor.
 
Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

Jan's under lockdown, so she can't add any info. However, I can add that it won't be strictly HD, Jan has already confirmed that it will be DVCPRO-HD and DVCPRO-50 and DV. It won't be the Super 8 variant, although we don't know what it will be (shoulder-mount or handheld).

Jan has also said that there will likely be a second camera, a DVX100b, which will be revised to meet new lead-free manufacturing standards. Whether there are any different features from the DVX100A remains to be seen.

Sorry, there are things I can discuss, like workflow on P2, DVCPROHD, DVCPRO50, what are they? how do they work? But the only answers I can give on this new camera specifically is under 10,000, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, DVCProHD, 24P and on a P2.

Wish I could say more.

Best,

Jan

Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

The "Super 8 variant" refers to the picture of a balsa-wood mockup camera (look up higher in this thread, for the link Carrington Benz posted). We call it the "Super 8" camera because it has a fold-down handle that looks kind of like an old 70's Super 8 movie camera.

Panasonic made a mockup of a palmcorder and showed it at some shows, but it has no relationship to this new camera we've been discussing.
 
Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

Gotcha, thanks...

I hope it doesn't look anything like that. I'd like a simple/smaller than normal ENG style.
 
Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

Honestly, I've shot two feature films, six commercials and four TV Shows with the DVX and have become so enamored with it's control layout that I can't help but be worried. I really just want a 16:9/HD version of the DVX with nothing more but a higher rez LCD for focusing. Oh and a real distance read out for focus too. The audio is the best out there, the zoom and focus are smooth and predictable... It's just a joy to use!

Please panasonic, don't fix what ain't broke.
 
Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

There really are few companies in this world that I trust to come out with something that is as reasonably close to what we really want as Panasonic... kind of like the opposite of Sony, who you know is never going to give you what you want until you've given up and moved on to the next thing (like "adding" MP3 support to their, um "MP3" player). In Panny we trust...

Hope that helps,

OK, to me this was one of the funniest DVXUser posts ever, and the only possible response to the 15th posting of those old pictures. Nice one.
 
Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

Okay, which of our Photoshop whiz kids is gonna be first to stencil an "HDV" logo on the side of that thing?

Remember, Sharp is a member of the HDV coalition too, and we haven't seen their product...

... or Canon...

... JVC's rumored to have a new model as well...

;D

hahaha... oh it's too late.... I'm giddy.... I was thinking the exact same thing... someone please do it... just for kicks. :)
 
Re: Images of the the HDX.. .

You guys are sick, just sick, with way too much time on your hands. ;-)

Nice job though, looks authentic. Watch this be the next picture that I have to spend time denying that this is the camera.

Best,

Jan
