The HVX200 is a native 16:9, 1/3in. three-CCD camcorder. Sampling is achieved at the astounding 1080p60 rate at 14 bits though a 19-bit intermediate sampling stage. What's all this mumbo jumbo mean? It makes for an extremely high level of sampling precision, rivaling the most sophisticated and expensive cameras on the market.

The Panasonic AG-HVX200 is not another mini HDV camera. It is quite the different animal with the format being known as DVCPRO HD. Why's that important? Neither Discovery Channel nor The History Channel accept programming acquired on the HDV format -- such
as Sony. For the DP the HVX200 brings the capabilities of the company's high-end Varicam HD ($116,000) camcorder much closer to the size and price of the extreme;y popular DVX100.
