I have the AJ-PX270 operator manual available for download on my web site for anyone who is interested in this camera.

Thanks Michael. Having a quick look and I see some very encouraging attributes:

- AVC LongG 25/50 both have 24bit audio
- Plenty of color correction opportunities with the color matrix along with gamma settings, not just gamma presets
- Line input audio can be set to 0db or +4db Very handy for weak board feeds.

I think this camera will give you the opportunity to create a refined image. More like a true broadcast camera instead of just a good looking 1/3" camera. Way to go Panasonic. Looking forward to seeing the images and playing with the camera.
