Panasonic AG-HPG20: an AVC-Intra P2 Gear

Jan and Mike - Now that NAB is over, when do you guys want to compare the HPG20 vs. the Flash XDR.

Or, Andy, if you've already done the testing, can you share the results with us?
 
Might be able to get a sweet heart deal on an older varicam with a ton of goodies...

The deck is the issue... since the older high end camera didn't have firewire...

Looks like it can't record the different frame rates...

how this vs the AJ-HPM110... looking over the pdf... looks like the same thing with the frame rates...
 
The HPG20 makes the older Varicam a better camera than it was before. The tape records 8-bit at 960x720, but the HD-SDI output is 10-bit full-raster 1280x720. So you'll record sharper images with deeper color depth and better compression.

It doesn't record "native" but it records the variable frame rates exactly the same way as the original Varicam did.

Thanks Barry

This is the model number... AJ-HDC27VP PANASONIC HD CAMCORDER

What about the HPG20 vs the KiPro..

Besides the recording options (HPG/KiPro/NanoFlash): how would the image compare to other (more recent) cameras? How dated is the chip and dsp of the older varicam...? Would it be on par with let´s say a 2700? Or only the 500?
Barry you say "makes the older Varicam a better camera than it was before" - how much better are we talking?
