Already used for film, TV program production and news gathering, Panasonic's DVX100 series has now evolved further with the AG-DVX100B. This is the first DV camera-recorder to allow camera-to-camera time-code synchro and user-settable file transfer. This lets you use it for simultaneous multi-camera recording, if you need it. It offers remote focus and iris control for easier operation when mounted on a jib arm or tripod. This brilliant camera offers the performance and functions of previous high-end DV camera-recorder models, from superior image quality, high sensitivity, 24P/30P Cinema mode, and manual operation, it has the specifications needed for full-fledged professional video production.

It has a new design that ends the contradiction between a compact, lightweight body and a stable, secure hold. The center of balance is located precisely at the handgrip. Because there's no need for a wide-angle conversion lens, the weight balance is ideal for comfortable shooting. The Leica Dicomar lens incorporates Leica optical technology and know-how. Low-dispersion glass reduces color aberration and increases resolution, while a multi-coating process minimizes flare and ghosting. The results are beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional shading. At its heart is a 3CCD RGB system comprising three 1/3-inch, 210,000-pixel progressive CCDs developed especially for broadcast and professional applications. The new on-chip lens design achieves outstanding sensitivity of F11 @ 2000 lux

Be careful with this talented camera – it may be able to do more than you can!
