Already used for film, TV program production and news gathering, Panasonic's DVX100 series has now evolved further with the AG-DVX100B. This is the first DV camera-recorder to allow camera-to-camera time-code synchro and user-settable file transfer. This lets you use it for simultaneous multi-camera recording, if you need it. It offers remote focus and iris control for easier operation when mounted on a jib arm or tripod. This brilliant camera offers the performance and functions of previous high-end DV camera-recorder models, from superior image quality, high sensitivity, 24P/30P Cinema mode, and manual operation, it has the specifications needed for full-fledged professional video production.
It has 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 Leica Dicomar lens incorporates Leica optical technology and know-how. Low-dispersion glass reduces color aberration and increases resolution, while a multi-coating process minimizes flare and ghosting. The results are beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional shading. At its heart is a 3CCD RGB system comprising three 1/3-inch, 210,000-pixel progressive CCDs developed especially for broadcast and professional applications. The new on-chip lens design achieves outstanding sensitivity of F11 @ 2000 lux
Be careful with this talented camera – it may be able to do more than you can!

3CCD Image SystemThe AG-DVX100 features an advanced 3CCD image system comprising three 1/3”, 410,000-pixel progressive CCDs developed specifically for broadcast and professional applications. The innovative system provides high F11 sensitivity for superior image quality.
Leica Dicomar LensThe AG-DVX100B delivers superior image rendering with the Leica Dicomar lens, which uses low-dispersion glass to reduce color aberrations and increase resolution. This powerful lens is created using a multi-coating process to minimize flare and ghosting.
Optical Image StabilizerPanasonic's advanced OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) drastically cuts the blurring caused by hand shake. Optical processing with an automatic correction function helps ensure consistently clear, sharp images.
