Bridging the gap between standard definition, tape-based DV cameras and high-end HD solid-state cameras, the Panasonic AG-HVX200 was groundbreaking at the time of its introduction, and continues to be the perfect solution to filmmakers and videographers who desire a low cost, high quality HD camcorder.

Quickly replacing some of the best DV camcorders such as the DVX-100b which boasted 24p frame rates, the HVX200 added to its versatility by recording multiple formats such as standard DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50 and DVCPRO HD, at a variety of frame rates. Standard def frame rates include: 480/60i, 480/24p, 480pA, 480/30p and high definition rates like: 1080/60i, 1080/24p, 1080/24pA, 1080/30p, 720p/12, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 30, 32, 36, 48, and 60fps.
