Adam Wilt has been working off and on in film and video for the past thirty years, while paying the bills writing software for animation, automation, broadcast graphics, and real-time control for companies including Abekas, Pinnacle, Omneon, CBS, and ABC.

Since 1997 his website, adamwilt.com, has been a popular reference for information on the DV formats. He has reviewed cameras for DV Magazine and written its "Technical Difficulties" column, and taught classes and led panels at NAB, IBC, and DV Expo. He co-authored the book,"Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System", part of the Apple Pro Training series; he hopes you'll buy a copy, as there's still a large advance to be paid off.

Panasonic’s AG-HPX300: full-res camcorder with AVC-I under $11K

Will the HPX300 be the “it” camera for 2009?

Panasonic announced the AG-HPX300, a 1/3”, 3-MOS shoulder-mount P2 camcorder with a 17x Fujinon interchangeable lens (the Euro version will be the AG-HPX301E). In many ways, it’s a companion to the HVX200A and HPX500: six scene files, 1080i/p recording, 720p variable frame rate recording, SD recording in both DV and DVCPRO50 formats, 24p capability, and two P2 card slots, but there are three things that put the 300 in a class of its own:

  • Full-resolution, 1920x1080 sensors.
  • AVC-Intra (I-frame, 10-bit, full-raster, 4:2:2) recording.
  • MSRP of US$10,700, including EVF and 17x lens.

Let me repeat: full-res sensors and AVC-I recording for under $11K.
