I was just notified that I can only post 5 photos, so sorry...I had 13.
This is a wonderful camera and lens for someone needing a camera for movies, short films, documentaries and ENG style shooting. I absolutely love the look and quality of this camera. Read the reviews on the B&H website and it receives a 4.9 out of 5 by all users. B&H is currently selling this camera and a lesser, cheaper Fujinon lens for $18,300.
This camera and lens was purchased and serviced solely byAbel Cine in LA. I bought the camera and lens 4 years ago for a feature documentary I was shooting. Since then, I have used it mostly for commercials. The Canon 16x HD lens with 2x extender is wicked sharp and absolutely perfect. . . no scratches and light use. I rented a Super wide-angle for most of my shoots. The Camera and lens are an awesome combination. The lens alone cost more than this whole package.
I have invested heavily in a new 35mm system as my business now justifies. I feel its time to let this camera and lens go. I have tried to provide a good assortment of pictures to help you make a decision. I am assuming you know the specs of this camera system if you are reading this post. But if not, I will provide some specs below.
The camera comes with a Panasonic soft case. Also available is a Panasonic travel hard case, which I have pictured. I am selling this separately for $200. There are no P2 cards provided in this package. The camera comes with an Anton Bauer Gold Mount. The camera will need the latest firmware update. I have not shot with it for over a year and I have already sold my P2 cards. Thanks for looking.

Canon lens Specs
The Canon HDgc KJ16ex7.7B-IRSE is a 16x lens designed for 2/3" HD cameras. As HDTV becomes the standard for television broadcasts, more production facilities are looking to originate projects in high definition. Canon's line of HDgc lenses provide a cost effective alternative to higher priced high definition lenses, offering greater flexibility.
The lens strikes a perfect balance between performance and portability, equipped with features such as internal focus and shuttle-shot programmable positioning. The focal-length range is 7.7-124mm with a minimum object distance of 2.0' (0.6 m) and comes with a 2x extender for increased telephoto capability.
High Definition Ready
Many high definition cameras are hamstrung by insufficient optics. Electronic News Gathering (ENG) lenses traditionally have been built to accommodate standard definition. This lens is designed specifically with high definition in mind. The optics increase fidelity, making sure HD footage is crystal clear.
Improved Image Quality
The lens element design greatly reduces aberrations and image distortions. These advances contribute to more balanced imaging from center to edge throughout the aperture range.
Internal Focus for Ultimate Versatility
The unit is made for the highest quality professional video cameras. The front lens element is stationary and can be used with a matte box for greater lens flair protection as well as a wide array of square and rectangular filters.
Integral 2x Extender
For instant close-up shots, the lens has a switch which inserts an element that doubles the focal length at any point in the zoom range. Instead of using the zoom function, the extender gives immediate close-up images.
