Lightweight Design with Balanced Grip

The AG-DVX100A introduces 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 AG-DVX100A's short body and light weight — it weighs only 4.189 lb (1.9Kg) in operating condition* — means free, easy maneuverability. Plus, the low-center-of-gravity design and new skeleton lens hood greatly improve forward vision.

Magnesium Alloy Chassis

The Rugged Durability Professionals Need

The AG-DVX100A features the same magnesium alloy diecast chassis as our DVCPRO broadcast models. This tough, rigid unit protects the high- precision mechanism, giving the AG-DVX100A outstanding reliability and durability.

Built for professionals,

the AG-DVX100A stands up to

the bumps and jolts that occur in the field.

Highly Reliable DV Mechanism

Panasonic chose a DV mechanism for the AG-DVX100A because of its superior mobility, low running costs, extended recording capability, and easy tape availability. However, for the AG-DVX100A we developed a greatly enhanced, vastly more reliable mechanism than the ones used in home DV cameras and recorders. To minimize

dropout and head clogging, we incorporated the same forward cleaning head and automatic head cleaning function found in DVCPRO models. The sturdy loading system allows quick tape changes.

Camera-Recorder specifications

Panasonic has long been a leader in the field of camera technology, and its range of camera-recorders continues to uphold this tradition. The latest models in this lineup are engineered to meet the demanding needs of both professionals and enthusiasts alike, offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and user-friendly features.

One of the standout features of Panasonic camera-recorders is their 4K recording capability. With the ability to capture images at a resolution of up to 3840 x 2160, these devices ensure unparalleled clarity and detail in every shot. Whether filming a wedding, a documentary, or a corporate event, the high-resolution output is a game changer. Many models also support HDR (High Dynamic Range) recording, enhancing the dynamic range and providing richer color quality that allows each frame to come to life.

Another notable feature is the advanced lens technology. Panasonic collaborates with top lens manufacturers to provide high-quality optics that deliver exceptional performance. The incorporation of Leica lens technology, available in select models, adds a layer of prestige and precision, making it easier to achieve professional-grade results. Moreover, users can benefit from the versatility of interchangeable lens systems, allowing filmmakers and photographers the flexibility to choose the best lens for their particular needs.

Stabilization technology is also a highlight of Panasonic camera-recorders. With built-in optical image stabilization (OIS) and advanced electronic stabilization features, users can expect smooth footage, whether shooting handheld or in dynamic environments. This is crucial for capturing action shots or scenes while on the move, as it significantly reduces the chances of shaky footage.

Audio quality is another focus area, with professional-grade audio inputs and recording capabilities built into many models. Users can connect external microphones directly, take advantage of XLR inputs, and utilize advanced audio monitoring tools to ensure that every sound is captured clearly and crisply.

Panasonic also emphasizes usability in its camera-recorders, featuring intuitive touch screens, customizable menus, and robust networking options for easy sharing and live streaming. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow users to control their camera remotely and transfer files effortlessly.

Durability is a characteristic that often sets Panasonic apart, with many of its camera-recorders designed to withstand harsh conditions. Dustproof, splash-proof, and freeze-resistant bodies ensure that filmmakers can work confidently in a range of environments.

In summary, Panasonic camera-recorders are a superb choice for those seeking a combination of advanced technology, high-quality optics, and user-friendly features. Whether for professional or personal use, they provide a reliable solution for capturing life's most important moments in stunning detail.
