<p><strong>About the AG-DVX200PJ</strong><br>
The 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. The camcorder is optimized for 4K/HD production, with stunning
bokeh effects and a V-Log L curve (measured at 12 stops) emulating the natural
grey-scale rendition of the VariCam 35. The DVX200PJ incorporates a newly-developed
4/3" large-format MOS sensor with high sensitivity of F11, and offers variable
frame rate recording from 2fps to 120fps in 1080p mode, enhancing the camcorder’s
utility in sports and VFX production. The handheld 4K camcorder offers an array
of professional features including a newly-designed Leica Dicomar 4K F2.8~F4.5
zoom lens (4K/24p: 29.5 mm ~ 384.9 mm, HD: 28 mm ~ 365.3mm, 35 mm equivalent)
with shallow depth-of-field, time-code in/out, 3G HD-SDI and HDMI 2.0 (4K) video
outs (4:2:2 10-bit video), dual XLR audio inputs and 10 programmable user buttons.</p>
