Panasonic AG-HVX200K HD Camcorder - ZDNet
David Berlind has posted his impressions of the pricey Panasonic AG-HVX200K HD Camcorder over at ZDNet. 'When, as a part of ZDNet’s effort to turn its journalists into independent video producers as well, the folks in our broadband group sent me a Panasonic AG-HVX200K to play around with, I had no idea how much the camera they were sending me would prove to be a game changer when it comes to commercial video production in a distributed, collaborative environment. At $6995, it’s a very pricey device compared to other cameras that are far less expensive and that ultimately turn out a final product that’s similar in video quality to the one that might come from the Panasonic AG-HVX200K if the Web is your final target. Mostly for performance reasons, a lot of quality must be stripped out of raw video before it’s published to the Web. '
