What's on this page?
The AGHVX200A offers all the invaluable features of the popular AG-HVX200 and adds a higher-resolution 3-CCD imager and improved image performance.
The HVX200A is equipped with 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 results in lower noise and better low light performance than the prior model. The HVX200A's image quality is also enhanced by a new high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) featuring 14-bit A/D conversion and 19-bit inner processing. Equivalent to the processors used in many higher-end HD cameras, this new DSP ensures precise, beautiful recordings in all video formats. Because the HVX200A scans at native 1080P for the initial picture processing, users get the highest level of vertical resolution, whether shooting in HD or SD.
Wider Angle (13X) Leica Dicomar Zoom Lens
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 HVX200A offers variable frame rate capability, providing the cinematic expression of higher-end cameras like the Panasonic VariCam AJ-HDC27. In 720p mode, the HVX200A'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.
Outstanding P2 HD Reliability and Flexibility, Plus DV Recording
Offering the vast advantages of P2HD solid-state acquisition as well as a mini DV tape mechanism for shooting in SD, the HVX200A is ideal for transitioning from an older standard definition, tape-based infrastructure to a file-based, high definition production.
With two 32GB P2 cards installed, the camera records for up to 160 minutes in 720/24pN native. It can record up to 64 minutes in other full frame DVCPRO HD formats, 128 minutes in DVCPRO50, 256 minutes in DVCPRO. Recording times double with the upcoming 64GB P2 card.

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to CALL me after you were unable to reach me via e-mail yesterday. I am glad that you contacted me when you discovered that the mouse that I ordered was no longer available in the color that I wanted and am very impressed with the personal approach that you and PowerMax have taken even though PowerMax is an online vendor. Even though I was not able to purchase from PowerMax on this occasion, I will certainly buy from you in the future. It's nice to see that there are still people out there that care about their customers.
Best Regards,
I thank you and PowerMax for the always terrific service. I must always remember to check with you guys first.
Thanks,
BIG kudos to your company for shipping to APOs. I love Apple and all their products, but their lack of support to Service Members deployed and stationed overseas has been a sore point with me for a long time!!! It is refreshing to find a company that understands that Soldiers in Iraq (and Afghanistan, and Germany, and Japan, etc.) deserve easy access to Macs as well as anyone else.
Thank you for your help.
Just wanted to say "Thanks Again" for taking care of me on this order. Anyway - I'm a happy camper. Just wanted you to know!
Peace and Blessings,
Thanks for all the information, it is a great help. I will let you know how it all comes out - and may have to ask you for some more help. I appreciate your consideration - actually this is the way I have been treated by everyone I have worked with at PowerMax. I wouldn't buy a Mac anyplace else. This is my second one from PowerMax.
Take care,
