At 1.9 kilograms, 
the super-
compact 
AG-HPX171 is the 
lightest member 
of the P2 family. 
It combines small 
size and light 
weight with an 
ideal balance - 

the center of gravity is in the hand grip – to bring 
exceptional comfort and maneuverability to 
handheld recording. The zoom lens further 
enhances shooting ease and convenience, letting 
the AG-HPX171 handle a wide range of 
applications without requiring a conversion lens.

P2 Memory Card Recorder: Lower Operating Costs, Better for the Environment

P2 Reduces Total Cost of Ownership

(1) Faster, easier editing because digitization is not necessary

(2) Lower media costs because memory cards are reusable

(3) Lower maintenance costs because there is no moving 

mechanism

Reducing editing, media and maintenance 

costs, P2 can help improve your bottom line. 

Users can also take advantage of a special five-

year free-repair service program that Panasonic 

offers for P2 HD equipment.

The P2 Card Helps Preserve the Environment: 

Repeated Reusability and Low Power Consumption

Allowing repeated file copying and 

initialization, a single P2 card can be used 

and re-used, again and again. When 

combined with an IT-based workflow that 

requires no dubbing, P2 cards can greatly 

reduce storage media expenses.
