4/3” Large Format, 4K/HD Handheld Camcorder

The AG-DVX200PJ is the first in a new generation of large sensor, multi-format Professional camcorders capable of capturing 4K/UHD, HD and SD, including cinematic DCI 4K 4096x2160. Designed from the ground up as a large format camera system, the DVX200 provides that all important esthetic of shallow depth of field / selective focus, but with an integrated 13X zoom for easy control over image framing as well as the ability to track your subject even in fast action. The DVX200 works “out of the box” with integrated lens, viewfinder and included battery (just add optional UHS-2/3SDXC cards). This large format 4/3” camcorder offers exceptional image quality in all modes, as well as unique workflow options – including a dual codec workflow borrowed from the renowned VariCam 35 production camera. Whether for cinematic or television production, sports, news acquisition or event acquisition, the DVX200 offers the perfect blend of quality, convenience and workflow.
