A Panasonic AG-HPX170 é uma câmera de mão P2HD, construída com base na tradição e no sucesso da AG-HVX200. O sensor aprimorado da câmera oferece níveis mais baixos de ruído e mais sensibilidade sob luminosidade fraca. Diferentemente da AG-HVX200, a AG-HPX170 não inclui um drive de fita, optando por uma estrutura mais leve e durável. Neste caso, "menos" certamente significa mais; a remoção do deck significa uma variedade de recursos extras, incluindo uma lente de 75mm com capacidade grande angular melhorada, vectorscópio, monitor waveform, saída HD-SDI, uma porta FireWire de trava de 6 Pinos e 3 modos de assistência ao foco.

I'm an undergraduate student at William and Mary and together with a bunch of friends, I make a few films a semester for competitions and to put together a portfolio. I bought this camera in January and it is really fantastic. I usually shoot in 720p/24pN and I love the image. Also, the pN mode gives you significantly better writing time's on the P2 cards without sacrificing resolution. The color space is fantastic and while it is not as sharp as a Sony EX-1, (This is because the Panasonic uses Pixel Shift on 1/3 sensors to achieve full HD whereas the EX-1 uses 1/2 sensors to achieve native 1080) the thing is still very sharp. Light it properly and you will love what you get. The ability to choose from so many different frame rates and resolutions, along with the gamma levels makes this camera incredibly versatile. It's light weight, fairly small and has great ergonomics. The lens is excellent, really wide and really nice. Controls are well placed and easy to understand. Waveform and vectorscope are awesome additions and the flexibility of the user buttons is really nice, as are the three N/D filters over the two on the HVX200/A. The camera is very well built, sturdy and well balanced. Also, Panasonic gives you a great battery right out of the box.To be honest, the only thing that I don't like about it isn't an HPX flaw. I despise the cost of P2 media, but you need to understand when buying the camera that the cost of cards are expensive so you really lose the right to complain. The real reason that they are/can be so costly is because they are the same cards being used in 20+ thousand dollar cameras. For the professional buying that, they don't really care all that much about spending [$] on a media card, so Panasonic really doesn't have to adjust their prices for enthusiasts and students like myself. It stinks but it's fact. I have two 16 gig P2 cards, one of which came with the camera. If you can find them, Fujifilm makes P2 cards that are exactly the same as the Panasonics and are slightly less expensive. I could be knit-picky and say that the LCD screen and EVF do not have great resolution for focusing, but the Panasonic focus assists are really helpful so they do make up for the low res viewfinders. I'm still waiting on more accessories to be made for the HPX, right now the HVX has all of the cool stuff. But the HVX has dominated the market for quite a while now so it will take some time for the companies to come out with more HPX accessories, like follow focus systems and such.Bottom line is that in my opinion, Panasonic has put out a great product. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the market for a camera of that caliber and price range.

I think Panasonic has really been unable to live up to their own hype and overzealous misleading advertising with this camera. I purchased this product to replace my DVX100 camera. It's hard to comprehend that this is far as Panasonic has evolved the product line in six years. The camera is a big plastic toy-like prosumer camera. The camera was originally promoted as being PAL/NTSC switchable, obviously to compete with Sony, but apparently the PAL update, which will cost the end user an additional $500, is months away. The camera will have to be sent in to have the PAL feature reinstalled with every firmware update. As most of us have discovered since taking the camera out of the box, that most of the cameras have a "lens wobble" issue, making the camera basically unusable and it will most likely be recalled any day now. Panasonic immediately tried to spin the wobble as a lucky "shock mount" feature of the lens, but it doesn't solve the shaky image when touching the lens to focus when mounted even on a tripod.

Comments about Panasonic AG-HPX170 P2HD Solid-State Camcorder:
Going from the 100A DV format to P2 has been an easy transition thanks to Panasonic. All the buttons and menus were similar so I easily picked up on it. I also like that it's lighter than the 200 and not as bulky. There are so many nice options with this camera, HD-SDI out, frame-rates, and wider lens are awesome. I was looking at the JVC but for the price and similarity of my other camera, this was the way to go!

I've been using the HPX for sometime for everything from full length documentaries to corporate video. Finally bought my own for my video business and it has not let me down. Having used the DVX for years I felt already familiar with this Panasonic camera even with its additional features. High quality image and durable camera.

Comments about Panasonic AG-HPX170 P2HD Solid-State Camcorder:
I use it to shoot things in nature. If you want a CCD camcorder that isn't a massive hulk of equipment to lug around if you are hiking rough terrain and climbing up and down cliffs with your equipment, it's a good size. You can shoot lightning without having the footage ruined by the rolling shutter of a CMos sensor. Im not thrilled by the expense of the P2 cards, even though the E-series cards are a fraction of the cost of the previous cards. Two 64 GB P2 cards will cost you $1800 and you have to figure that expense into the cost of the camera. I am also not thrilled that the zoom is only 13x. Canon and Sony make much longer zooms which I would have liked on this. The camcorder feels nice and sturdy.

I was in the cross road just few days ago; I finally made my decision to go with 170. I love it. I'm glade I did purchasing this highly rated camera. P2 DVCPRO HD work flow is the way to go.The only cone about this camera is, costly media,but, if you want the convenience of P2 work flow, you have to pay for it. So I can't complain.

I work for a nonprofit and we bought this camera to produce commercials and testimonials of people that have used our services.
The quality is outstanding. It is great to get away from tapes. It has a lot of cool features like programmable buttons, extra focus options, and digital zoom.
The few negatives I have found thus far is there is no usb cable included when buying the camera. There is an auto focus mechanism on the camera that even when turned off still tends to auto focus, thus making the artsy shots hard to get.
I would recommend this camera to anybody needing a high quality camera for a relatively low price!!

Comments about Panasonic AG-HPX170 P2HD Solid-State Camcorder:
I purchased this to replace my original HVX200 camera. The 200 had great images but wasn't the greatest for fast paced field work since the LCD was difficult to judge. Therefore having an external monitor was pretty much needed.
However the 170 has improved and is also much better in lower light with less noise in the gain.
The controls are easy to find and the built in waveform is very helpful.
The camera is lighter and produces great video. Great option for chroma key interviews.
P2 in general is has more benefits then cons. You just have to get used to the workflow and you will never go back to tape.

I shoot a wide variety of projects and the hpx170 takes care of me on all of them. With this camera, you do get the best and the not so best. 1. All P2, which is great, but P2 is expensive. Not camera's fault though. 2. Light. It's almost 1-3 pounds lighter then the hvx200 which is AWESOME! 3. 3CCD--here you have both good and bad. I love this camera. I decided on this one over the EX1.

I am a video professional. Quality Matters to me.
I am very impressed with this camera. I was hesitant b/c of the 1/3 CCD. No worries, the quality is there for 98% of my business. The variable frame rates are great.
P2 is a different way of working but having the footage drag and drop is a real plus. I added a boom mic.
The lens is nice and wide. Love the wide lens.
Could use a longer zoom though, that is a drawback.

Comments about Panasonic AG-HPX170 P2HD Solid-State Camcorder:
I'm a film student and needed something that was relatively inexpensive and came with the most features.
The waveform monitor is such a plus for this camera. The focus assist is also another great feature that really helps getting the maximum focus.
This camera truly has some outstanding features from its competitors. The ability to change the frame rate, deleting clips in camera (P2 work flow), light weight for hand held glidecams, great image quality, and many, many more.
I do pretty much any type of video work, form weddings, to music videos, to short films. This camera will get you what you want. There is however a learning curve if you are just now jumping into prosumer cameras. Although the camera does come with an outstanding guide from Barry Green.
You will not regret your decision if you get this camera.

After a lot of back and forth I finally decided on the HPX. Even though P2 cards are extremely expensive, I felt that overall it was the best choice for the best picture. The fact that the HPX has multiple frame rates makes it a great buy. My only minor gripes are that the iris ring is not on the lens, and it is sometimes difficult to focus.

I am currently using this camera with a 35 adapter to film short subjects, and without the adapter for event video. The results so far have been amazingly beautiful. As a side note: the stock lens is very wide, so be creative when filming people dancing at events or else you'll have people complaining they look fat.

Comments about Panasonic AG-HPX170 P2HD Solid-State Camcorder:
I use this camera for a lot of action sports filming that involves the very fast such as skateboarding to the slower sports like surfing. The amount of frame rates this camera offers is amazing, you can slow down and image and keep crystal clear quality. I used to use HVX200A cameras but this one is much better with the newer features, especially the focus assist controls and vectorscopes that they included. Panasonic is genius in their designs even down to the layout of the menu buttons, you can fly through settings and change from manual to auto in a flash or check your skin tones while on the fly. Panasonics Native frames are also a great feature and huge time memory saver, you can store much more than on most solid state cards and get the same quality.
My only qualms are you have to turn the camera off to stop time-lapse and get out of PC connect modes, wish you could just keep it on. Also the straight to harddrive feature is great with 1394 Host, but it still could be improved on with some more control and not needing to format the drive.
