The Image Quality, Mobility and Versatility that Professionals Need
The AG-DVX100 shattered conventional notions of what a DV camera-recorder could do, delivering image quality, functions and
operating ease suitable for professional applications. As the first model in its class to offer the 24p/30p Cinema mode,
the AG-DVX100 was particularly well received by filmmakers and image creators. Now, Panasonic introduces the AG-DVX100A.
This advanced new model takes the DV camera a big step forward, retaining the popular features of its predecessor while adding
enhancements that reflect feedback from professionals who used the AG-DVX100.The AG-DVX100A offers higher image quality
and more functions than its predecessor. Even more important, it provides high-level specifications and design improvements that
cater to the needs of professional camera operators. Mobile, versatile and easy to use, the Diamond Graphite AG-DVX100A has
everything you need for creative content production and active image gathering.

Ease and Versatility
