Panasonic created a complete line of cameras that support recording in 24p, which is an analog of how film cameras record frames, for independent film production. 24p stands for 24 frames per second progressive: a frame rate which is commonly used in motion picture production, and progressive scan which avoids interlacing to give artifact free frames. These features give the recordings a film quality appearance. The original AG-DVX100 nor the later AG-DVX100A (announced on 2003.11.19) and B revisions cannot record in HD. The original Panasonic AG-DVX100 is a 4:3 aspect ratio SD camera only. Difference in original model and A revision are small. The B revision introduced the ability to properly monitor 16:9 aspect ratio, but still only in standard definition. The B revisions CCD sensors have a native aspect ratio of 4:3.
At the time, Progressive video was rare for cameras below the 10k price point. The AG-DVX100 originally retailed around MSRP 2,995 USD in 2002 (current value is $600 in 2013). At that time, the DVX100 was rivaled in standard definition video only by the Canon XL-1 which also records progressive video.
As HD video is becoming more popular among prosumers.
The DVX100 contains a 3-CCD image sensor system, with 410,000 (380,000 effective) pixels each. The camera can record 24p video in "telecined" fashion (2-3 pulldown for 24P and 2-3-3-2 pulldown for 24PA), 30p video in PsF fashion (25p in PAL version), and 60i standard (50i PAL) interlaced video onto MiniDV tape. The camera incorporates "CineGamma" functionality to approximate the characteristic curve of film. [1][2]
The DVX100 also features two XLR audio inputs, another rare feature for cameras in its price range. It includes a 4-pin FireWire port, as well as S-Video and RCA in and out ports. It features manual and servo zoom, with a second zoom control and record button on top of the handle for recording from low angles.
Typical camera accessories are: spare batteries, lens adapters, matte boxes, optical filters, tripods, geared and fluid heads for smooth panning and tilting, follow focus systems, external microphone(s), and storage cases.
Films and Shows shot with Panasonic AG-DVX100
Many documentaries, independent shorts, and feature movies have been shot with the Panasonic AG-DVX100, including the Sundance Film Festival-winning feature November, The Puffy Chair by the Duplass Brothers, and the Oscar nominated documentary Murderball. A Scanner Darkly was also shot using the DVX100, but processed through Rotoshop to give it a more "animated" feel. The documentary "Iraq in Fragments" was also shot with this camera over a two-year period in Iraq. Seasons 1-5 of the popular TV show It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is also shot with the DVX100. The Man From Earth was shot from only two DVX100 cameras.[1] Seasons 1-5 of The Angry Video Game Nerd were shot with the DVX100. Later seasons were shot with the Panasonic HVX200. The camera was also used for the first seven seasons of the hit internet series "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?" - later seasons were filmed using the Panasonic HMC-150. Season 1 of Red Letter Media's "Half in the Bag" were initially shot using the DVX100. This was abandoned in Season 2 on a preliminary move to High Definition recordings. [2]
