The digital video world is buzzing with news of the upcoming Panasonic camera: HVX200. It feels like an Apple product is being released with all this buzz (are you sure this thing cannot play mp3's?). Anyways, here are the links you will need to catch up with what is going on.
- First, you can always search DVguru for news, old stories on the HVX200. We have tons of stories on the camera before the craze began. Mike is also reporting from the DV Expo West where the camera has taken center stage.
- HD For Indies has wonderful coverage on the camera. Many readers are submitting reports from DV Expo. One of the readers is none other than the Oscar nominated (Best Song Written for Motion Picture) writer John August who is impressed with HVX. There is another report of a DP who actually has had a chance to use the HVX. The majority of these stories are very positive on the HVX but some readers suggest they have noticed some "blockiness." Mike's take on the specs.
- DVXuser reader reports from DV Expo West: one & two. Check out the DVXuser forum for the HVX200, especially the FAQ.
- Here is a vodcast from the DV Expo floor.
- DVguru has already provided this link but it is important enough to repeat. This site has some sample footage (in all shapes & sizes) from the HVX.
- Creative Cow has a section for P2 camcorders which is what HVX is. A lot of excellent discussion happening there including user reports.
Join the madness!
1. Actually, I'm not Oscar-nominated, though that would be great.
