Panasonics HVX200 Professional HDV Camcorder
Panasonics P2 HVX200’s invaluable features include: a 1/3" 16:9 progressive 3-CCD imager (effective resolution of 1.1 million active pixels with a spatial offset) that delivers outstanding image quality. It offers lower smear and a higher S/N ratio that result in lower noise and better low light performance. The HVX200’s image quality is also enhanced by high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) featuring 14-bit A/D conversion and 19-bit inner processing. Because the HVX200 scans at native 1080P for the initial picture processing, users get the highest level of vertical resolution, whether shooting in HD or SD. The camera's lens system features a large 82-mm diameter filter including three asperical lenses. With its powerful 13x zoom lens, the camera offers a wide 30mm (35mm equivalent) viewing angle, covering most shooting situations without the need for a wide-angle conversion lens. The lens also features an Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) function that ensures stable images during shooting.
Variable Frame Rates for Fast- or Slow-Motion Effects
The HVX200 offers variable frame rate capability, providing the cinematic expression of higher-end cameras like the Panasonic VariCam® AJ-HDC27. In 720p mode, the HVX200’s frame rate can be set from 24p/30p to any of 20 steps between 12p and 60p, allowing for undercranking/ overcranking for fast or slow-motion effects in 720P. These effects can be dubbed to a DV tape after recording to offer some unique capabilities in the SD mode. Offering the vast advantages of P2HD solid-state acquisition as well as a mini DV tape mechanism for shooting in SD, the HVX200 is ideal for transitioning from an older standard definition, tape-based infrastructure to a file-based, high definition production. Uncompressed 4-channel, 16-bit digital audio recording in DVCPRO HD and DVCPRO50. Interfaces include IEEE 1394 and USB 2.0 interfaces (connect directly to a PC or MAC), built-in stereo microphone, two XLR inputs with Phantom power and analog component signal terminals.
Multiple format recording: DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV selectable.
Supports 1080/60i, 1080/24p, 1080/24pA, 1080/30p, 720p/60p, 720/24p (over 60p), 720/30p (over 60p), 720/24pN native, 720/30pN native 480/60i, 480/24p (over 60i), 480/24pA (over 60i), 480/30p (over 60i)

35mm Lens Adapter
What is a 35mm adapter?
Lower cost DV and HD video cameras have smaller sensors, concentrating the light from a scene down to the small sensor size, which results in deep focus. These cameras show objects in acceptably sharp focus in a wide range of circumstances. Deep focus is useful, because it is forgiving of camera operator focus error. However, it is also expressively limiting, because it is difficult to blur objects that are closer or further away than the main object in a scene. Depth blur is a staple in the language of film. It is frequently used to isolate a character, to focus importance on a person rather than the surroundings, and to direct the attention of the audience. This control is particularly important to micro filmmakers, who desire the aesthetic appearance of 35mm film and the artistic control over depth blur.
There is a number of in-camera tricks that can improve blur control or simulate depth blur. For example, opening the iris and adjusting the exposure with filters or shutter speed can make the focus shallower; and moving the camera back and zooming in can simulate depth blur, but all these techniques are limited.
One solution is moving up to a camera with a 2/3” sensor and a much larger, more expensive lens. At current prices, that would be about a $15,000 to $20,000 lens. Another option is shooting on film, but these options are beyond the budget of most of us. Enter the 35mm adapter. The concept is simple. Take a 35mm still camera lens, such as a Nikon, a Pentax, or a Canon lens, (which can be had for $100-$500) and then attach it to the front of the video camera, yielding 35mm focus control at bargain prices. The use of interchangeable 35mm lenses allows filmmakers the freedom to achieve varying angles of view and focus.
