Snapshots - NAB 2008 Day 3

More pix from the show floor

Panasonic AG-HPX170

The Panasonic HPX170 is a P2-only update to the HVX200 (The HVX has been updated to the 200A and remains in the lineup). The HMC150, which records to AVCHD and lacks many of the 170’s advanced features, looks much the same.

HPX170 back panel

The HPX170 uses a six-pin 1394 connector; a new, small component connector; and has an HD-SDI output!

HPX170 LCD displays

Both a waveform monitor and a vectorscope can be displayed on the 170’s LCD. Sweet: all cameras should be able to do this.

JVC HD200 with mockup SDHC / HDD recorder attached

Few cameras are as low, lean, and long as this elegant JVC.

Angenieux Optimo Rouge

This RED-only lens is a 30-80mm T2.8 zoom. $20,000.

Angenieux Optimo 4.7x

This 17-80mm T2.2 zoom is more than twice the weight and three times the price, but covers crucial wider angles the Rouge cannot. Both these Angenieux lenses have superb markings and silky-smooth mechanicals, and the 4.7x is well regarded for its optical performance.
