Panasonic announced a new full HD camcorder AG-AF100 in standard microphone and interchangeable lenses. After an incursion of hybrid micro compact oriented 4:3 Full HD video with the GH1, therefore compatible with all lenses Lumix G and by extrapolation, all other models like the Leica-M that can be mounted on a microphone via a 4:3 adapter specialist. AG-AF100, is known, will be running 1080p.
Panasonic AG-AF100 MOS sensor 4:3. This new digital camera AVCCAM HD will be a professional model, the first with a 4:3 sensor, like what, sensor 4:3 and 16:9 HD video are not incompatible, but Panasonic had already demonstrated with the GH1 and sensor optimized for 4:3 video. Cleverly, to establish the professional status and Film AF100-AG, Panasonic no longer talking about digital camcorder, but “digital cinematography”.

Compatibility objectives Lumix G. A key feature of this digital camera Panasonic will offer the control over depth of field allowed by the large surface of the sensor 4:3. The effect should be closer to a 35mm camera. The availability of many goals for the system Lumix G is also a plus for this system.
Natively, the Panasonic AG-AF100 filmed in 1080/24p signal that will be reshaped in various higher rates and intertwined, but also 720p. It will propose the 1080/60i, 50i, 30p, 25p and 24p, as well as 720/60p, 50p, 30p, 25p and 24p (50Hz in 50Hz as to fit broadcast standards). The sound would be “professional quality” and is a major point on which this solution can make the difference between a digital SLR or GH1 which are poor sound technicians. The microphone is stereo, but two XLR (48-kHz/16-bit) can connect better equipment: the AV100 is compatible LPCM / Dolby AC3. Everything will be recorded onto SDHC or SDXC, the new card standard, and encoded AVC/H.264 Hi, the AVCHD. The birate maximum would be 24 Mbps.
