Looks like a 64 hundred dollar question to me. Yikes.....

Don't know if it's just you, but it looks okay from here. Anybody else have issues with this PDF?

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

No problems with downloading and printing the PDF.

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

PDF OK for me too.

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

Thank you!

What about the batteries? Same as the HPX171?

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

Yes, the same batt. as the AG-HPX170/171, which is the CGA-D54.

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

Great! Thanks for the info Chris!

New HPX-250 footage on Youtube: AG-HPX250 Sample Footage *warning* some numb-nuts shot the footage interlaced.

Looks pretty much like what I would expect from my 301 and 371.

You made my morning, spat my coffee everywhere laughing at the comment

Just watched the footage, is it me or the most boring thing ever......

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

Here is a real project with the 250:

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

Um... impressive zoom range? lol

Apparently someone wrote that if you watch in 720p there are no scanlines, though I'm pretty sure i saw them at all resolutions... but yeah, boring.

Now the challenge video is more of what I like to see.

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

No 1080P 60P? Was hoping since this feature is in Panny's high to mid level consumer cams (TM900, SD90) that this would be creep into the prosumer end.

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

Somebody explain: how can the XF305 compete with this camera? It can't possibly be worth 2.5k more... Can it? I think Canon should readjust their price...

Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250
 

You have a good point. The XF300 is only a little more but the SDI ports are the difference. Both have strong codecs with the Panasonic costing more to operate. 1 hour of P2 is about $650 I hour of mpeg-2 50mbps is less than half the price. The Panny will be better in sensitivity (especially in 1080p).

The HPX-250 should be quite a camera. The 160 looks to be a good value as well. I am surprised I have not seen a review yet since these cameras are so close to being on the shelf.
