It 'going on these days (12-15 April) in the Las Vegas NAB Show , so here is a summary of the new offerings, at least for the products of interest from the standpoint of independent filmmakers.
The lion's share this year is the Panasonic, with a great message for all: a year-end camera will be available the first micro 4 / 3 "(the size of sensor used on the last generation of Lumix SLR) model AF101-AG, which will record on SDHC cards and SDXC AVCHD a 24 Mb/s; è la direzione che tutti speravano dopo il successo delle fotocamere HDSLR: un camcorder con ottiche fotografiche e sensore di grandi dimensioni (con conseguenti vantaggi in termini di luminosità e di profondità di campo), ma con ergonomia e caratteristiche proprie di una videocamera. Speriamo a questo punto che anche Canon (finora regina dell'HDSLR) raccolga la sfida. L'altro importante passo di Panasonic è nel campo della stereoscopia: è possibile prenotare (al prezzo finale di "soli" 16.800 euro + iva) il modello AG-3DA1 , un camcorder compatto dotato di 2 ottiche in grado di effettuare riprese in 3D, senza dover ricorrere a rig e all'uso contemporaneo di 2 videocamere; in teoria una bella semplificazione, we will see the results. Panasonic also introduced the AG-HPX371 camcorder spallari and AG-HMC81 , interesting products (especially the first), but not revolutionary like the previous product announcements.
And the competition? Continue on the Sony XDCAM EX camcorder with a new shoulder, PMW-320K, with technical (but not aesthetic) quite similar to the PMW-EX3, at least at first glance, Sony also presented a younger sister of the recently-HXR NX5, called HXR-MC50E , ultra-compact.
GY-HM790 however, is the symbol of the new model unveiled by JVC, in fact, a revamped version of the GY-HM700, designed for use in television studios as well as for ENG, with both output uncompressed 4:2:2 HD-SDI.
and Canon? I have no news about when the products shown at NAB, but then just a month ago he announced two new camcorders XF305 and XF300 with good news from the perspective of the codec used (style XDCAM HD, even at 50 Mb / s 4:2:2, Compact Flash cards), a little 'frankly disappointing from the standpoint of optical sensors (especially when compared with those of Canon products HDSLR).
A note: where's the tape? HDV?
