I hope and pray for 4:2:2 HD mode. The information is there and the processor can write that fast because it is 4k capable.
 
4/3's sensor. I wonder if it's the same one that's in the GH4 or G7? Plus Vlog. Not bad.

USELESS RANT: Dear Panasonic, would it have killed you to take this camera and lop the lens off to make an inter-changeable lens version also??? You would've made a lot a people soooo happy...

Anyway, I predict Panny will sell a lot of these.
 
They say it is new sensor with greater sensitivity. No word if it is Pannie or the new Sony tech.

The brochure says 12 stops of DR with V-log. That is probably what the GH4 would get with the addition of V-log.

That's why I was wondering if it wasn't one of Panasonic's own 'off-the-shelf' 4/3's sensors. (Does Sony make 4/3 sensors?)
 
Definitely 4:2:0 8 bit internal, and 10 bit 4:2:2 external with internal recording disabled.

From spec pdf:
http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/dvx4k/pdf/ag-dvx200_spec.pdf

External Output Video Signal:
8 bit 4:2:2/10 bit 4:2:2 (switchable menu)

*HDMI output of UHD/59.94p/50.00p becomes 8 bit 4:2:0.Also, when 10 bit 4:2:2 is selected, recording is not possiblewith the main unit.
Recording Video Signal: 8 bit 4:2:0




 
Pardon my ignorance... What does the image preview/viewfinder look like when one shoots in V-log? I am aware one can put a LUT on the footage in your NLE to get a desired look but does the footage look like the milky white mess while you are shooting? Or is there a LUT applied in-camera just for preview purposes? Thanks.

It will be the milky white mess. :smile:

You could add a LUT to an external monitor if it supports that function.

A couple of days ago, someone on the GH4 V-Log thread predicted that V-Log won't come out until after the DVX-200 premiers out in the flesh. It made sense then. It makes more sense now.
 
From that it says:

Effective Pixcels: 1549 megapixcel (FHD), 871 megapixcel (UHD/59.94p),
1289 megapixcel (UHD/29.97p), 1335 megapixcel (4K/24p)


I suspect it means 15.49Mp, 8.71Mp etc, but it seems that all the UHD modes are windowed compared to normal HD?

That's backed up in the other pdf which talks about wide angle 28mm equiv in HD, 29.5mm in 4K - but that new brochure fails to mention the equiv wide angle focal lengths will be slightly tighter still for QFHD (31mm), and greatly so for UHD 60p.

Max wide angle of about 38mm equiv in 60p if my maths is right....?
 
Hoping for internal 10bit but so far it doesn't look like it has it. If that's the case, what external recorder would be best to support all frame rates in 4k?
 

I did not make clear that it apparently records internally at 4:2:0 8 bit when externally recording at 8 bit 4:2:2, it apparently is only 10 bit external that turns off internal recording. I keep saying apparently because there is only these few lines in the specification from which to draw these conclusions.
