It’s finally here! Footage shot from the Panasonic AG-DVX200 Micro Four Thirds camcorder. This is still from a pre-production model so don’t get to picky :-D. Here is what Director of Photography Sebastian Wiegärtner says about the film.

Finally online! The worldwide first footage of the brand new Panasonic AG-DVX200!

Shot on a pre production model in UHD resolution and 50p. Sadly the compression of Vimeo and YouTube is so high, you just really can’t judge the image. All I can say: This is the perfect camera for Documentaries and fast TV work stuff, where you have to be fast and where you still want to achieve a cinematic image. Due to the M4/3 sensor it’s way easier to focus than with a Super 35 or Full Frame sensor. Almost everything shot full wide open. Native ISO of this camera is 500.

I used the flat V-Log profile, applied VariCam 35 Rec 709 and graded everything very hard + added some grain to the footage. This was shot during the Panasonic #DVX4Ktour. Shot on Location in Kyoto, Japan.

I think it looks pretty good. It was shot in V LOG 50P. I like the grade. Nothing over the top. I like that. It shows the camera better this way. I do think the AG-DV200 will find a large audience. It’s pretty cool to have a large sensor camera with a fixed zoom for run and gun and the price is pretty damn good at $5000. I’m looking forward to trying this camera when it’s released.
