Panasonic AG-CX350 4K Handheld Camcorder >>

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

The AJ-PX270 is the first P2 HD handheld camera recorder with AVC-ULTRA recording and built-in microP2 card slots. In addition to the established AVC-Intra100, it has AVC-LongG for extended recording and AVC-Intra200^*2for master level recording. AVC-LongG25 enables extended 1920 x 1080 10 bit 4:2:2 broadcast-quality recording (four times longer than AVC-Intra100). A newly designed, built-in, compact 22x zoom lens covers a wide range from 28 mm to 616 mm. Three lens rings (Cam-Type Zoom, Focus, Iris) provide comfortable manual control similar to interchangeable lenses. The newly developed high-sensitivity and low-noise 1/3 type 3MOS sensors produce superb image, even in dim light.

New 22x Zoom Lens and 3MOS Image Sensors

A newly designed*, compact, 22x zoom lens covers from wide 28 mm to tele 616 mm (35mm equivalent); three manual operation lens rings — zoom, focus and iris; new 1/3 type 3MOS image sensors achieve high sensitivity, low noise and 1920 x 1080 Full-HD resolution.
^{*Specifications and design are subject to change without notice.}

Wide Range of Recording Bit Rates

AVC-LongG50/25 and AVC-Intra100/50 codecs are provided as standard features. AVC-LongG50/25 codecs achieve 10 bit/4:2:2 image quality at a data rate of approximately 50/25 Mbps; optional AVC-Intra200 codec for visually lossless images that approach uncompressed master quality; low-bit-rate AVC-Proxy^*1 for network use.^{*1: Option}

Two microP2 Card Slots

Two microP2 card slots enable the ultimate cost-effective operation. The microP2 card, with the same reliability as the P2 card, can be used without an adapter; simultaneous recording enables safe, secure backup recording onto two media cards.

Network Function with Wireless Connection^*3

The network function speeds up the broadcasting workflow from shooting to on-air transmission; an optional wireless module allows wireless LAN connection for tablet*⁴ or smartphone*⁴ linking; a 3G/4G/LTE dongle is scheduled for use in the near future.
