Just the plain facts on the HVX200 at DVinfo.net

James Darren · April 18th, 2005, 05:35 AM

looks like a cool camera from what i've read & seen from photos, physically very similar to the DVX100.

can anyone tell me the definite specs & features on this camera (at least what we know so far)

it has a mini DV tape mech, does this mean only standard def onto tape & HD onto P2/HDD?

"does this mean only standard def onto tape & HD onto P2/HDD"

Well, it means DV onto tape.
DV, SD, & HD onto P2/HDD.

I've put together a page with all the info I've collected so far:

Hope it helps.

also it says 16:9 chips. So it would have to record 16:9 to tape too.

Hi
Anybody knows about the lens size. I mean 72mm or 82mm?

Thanks

13X zoom

82mm Diameter

4.5 to 58.5mm

same wide end as the dVX, but with a tighter tele

Luis, you may want to put up a link to the article we did on dvxuser into videoindie. I don't really want to repeat everything, but there are tons of new details in it.
