Great camera but..........2004-07-07
Hello..
You've heard it all from the other reviews.
The cons:
- No autofocus in 24P... and that really sucks.
- No remote control for focusing either!!!
- Microphones do not sound good.. but that was expected. So get external microphone
- Don't expect to shoot during lowlight environment in 24P... it's just not made for it.
- Expect to buy a lot more stuff after this.
- The manual is really BAD. If you don't know how to use this camera, you have hours/days before understanding it all.
Great camera, but be prepared to buy accessories.......2004-04-27
- Excellent picture quality
- Very nice large viewfinder
- Lense equivalent to 30-300mm gives excellent wide angle and zooming images.
- Can't beat the large LCD (can't see anything in the sun though)
- pretty stable manipulation in wide angle... but needs support on zoom.
- Auto white balance works great.
- Autofocus only in 60I. Manual only in 30P / 24P
- Bad on-camera microphone, it was expected.
- No info from panasonic on the 24P operation, read your FCP/Adobe manuals well to understand how it works.
Make sure to only use the 63min PQ panasonic tapes!!!
Of course you will have to buy a good microphone like the K6/M64/M66 or AT897.
I suggest you to get rain/dust slicker if you're going to shoot in the countryside/desert... you don't want dust/rain to get inside.
You also going to have to buy a DV deck or a cheap DV camera for playback not to wear the video heads....
Just be creative now.
16mm is dead........2004-01-27
The AG-DVX100 has killed 16mm motion picture camera systems and 16mm film stock except for the die-hard motion picture fans. The bottom line is - do not shoot 16mm or Super 16mm because this camera produces cine images that are better than 16mm and Super 16mm on DV, which means that it is also cheaper because you do not need to buy and process 16mm film stock. If you blow this video up to 35mm the image quality is still better than 16mm film formats.
However 35mm still rules... but the future for digital looks good.
Also the problems with this camera have been corrected in the AG-DVX100a version so you may want to hold back until you see that one on-line here. You would also do well to get the AG-LA7200G anamorphic lens so that you can shoot in scope with a squeezed digital image (Just like a real anamorphic lens!)!
Bottom line. This is a top of the range domestic camcorder with pro qualities. 16mm motion picture camera users should use this in their productions instead. It is a waaaaay cheaper and looks better. The cine-switch technology in this camera is based on the same system that Lucas used to film his New Star Wars movies with. Also the PAL version does not have 24 fps but this does not matter because PAL is 25 fps and the difference can not be noticed with the naked eye alone and transfer to film is easy with 25 fps PAL but not so easy with 30 fps NTSC so the NTSC version of this camera can also shoot 24 fps for that. Also this camera is loaded with functions. There is not a single thing you can do not with it but! and this is a big but! the NEW AG-DVX100a will address the negatives that the AG-DVX100 has (zoom problems and focus problems and other things). Keep an eye out for the AG-DVX100a although it may be $1000 more expensive than this one but should be no concern to those who had to shoot on expensive 16mm film equipment with expensive 16mm film stock and expensive 16mm processing and expensive 16mm to video transfers.
16mm is dead.
Great camera with few draw-backs.......2003-12-29
I have been using this camera since January 2003 to shoot documentary material in Iraq. I have to say, it really is a good camera. For the price, it is even amazing. Even in the hotest weather in August -- which gets up to 125 degrees F -- the camera continued to function normally. I had to gaffer tape the cassette door closed to prevent dust and smoke from clogging the works, which the owner's manual says you shouldn't do because it causes over-heating, but the camera survived even that. Sometimes in extremely dusty situations you will notice noise on the recorded material, but it clears up quickly due to the self-cleaning heads feature.
In terms of picture quality, the thing that really sets it apart from other DV cameras is the 24 fps progressive scan aspect. This means that your video frames wind up looking like photographs or cinema frames because there is no interlaced "comb" pattern on moving objects. The 24p format alone is enough reason to choose this camera over others, I think. The last documentary I shot was with a Sony DSR-500 camera, which cost about $13,000. I think the DVX-100 images hold up well by comparison. The Sony, though recording interlaced images, had better image processing to extend the dynamic range, which I miss, but I guess that's what the extra $10,000 buys you...
That and the ability to shoot anamorphic images, which the Panasonic DVX-100 will only do with an add-on anamorphic converter that, I think, costs about $700 and might prevent you from super-close focusing. Without the converter, the lens on the DVX-100 can focus right up to the glass when it's zoomed wide. However, the smallest area you can focus on is about 4-5 inches across, which makes it a little difficult to do super close-up work. Not a big draw-back.
Now, after about 160 hours of fairly intense recording in the dust and heat of Iraq, the camera has developed a problem with the flip-out LCD display. Everything else continues to work fine, and I can still film using the eye-piece viewfinder (not as sharp as the LCD). I will probably buy a new DVX-100 and use the one I have now as back-up.
If you want to edit 24p material from this camera, the best (and as far as I'm concerned, only) option is Final Cut Pro 4 on a Macintosh computer. This is working well for me in the field using a 17" Apple G4 Powerbook and 500GB Lacie external Firewire800 hard drives, which you can "daisy-chain" together. No hardware / software problems at all so far.
A couple things wrong with the camera design: The sound level dials are positioned on the bottom edge of the camera where they have a tendency to get turned by accident. Solution: tape them down with a piece of gaffer tape on the lower half of the dials that you can peel back to adjust levels. Otherwise, audio recording with this camera is great -- the same quality as the Sony DSR-500 camera when using an external XLR mic, though lacking an "auto levels" setting. Other things on the wish list would be some kind of sun-shade for the flip-out LCD -- it is really hard to see the images in bright sunlight, and correct exposure is diffcult to judge.
In the future, I hope that there will be a HDV version of this camera that records 24p HD with better dynamic range + an integrated upgrade to Final Cut Pro for editing HDV firewire output. Also, I would like to see this same camera made with a slightly more durable design -- even if it cost a bit more. It's absolutely a great buy and a great camera, but for extreme conditions encountered in many film shoots it would be nice to have a truly professional, less plastic model (with a sharper eye-piece viewfinder).
But almost no serious complaints -- an amazing camera.
That said, I should mention that Panasonic has just come out with a newer model of this camera, the DVX-100A, that addresses some of my concerns listed here. Costs about $4,000.
does not come with the michrophone!.......2003-12-21
It does not come with the mike as shown on the picture. Mike sells separately. But for me the bilt-in mike is more than enough.
I'm using this camera since April 2003. No defects, works perfectly, completely satisfied. It is recommended to use only one kind of DV tape for this camera. Choose either Panasonic MQ or PQ (or other professional quality tapes) and stick to them.
Buy a clear protective filter (72mm) and put it on the lenses as soon as you open the box. There is a great bag made for this cam by KATA (around 100 dollars). Get an extra Battery (larger that the one that comes with it. Around 100 dollars). The battery that comes with it will last about an hour. I bought an additional Panasonic camcorder for 300 dollars, just to use for rewinding and capturing tapes from DVX100 (there is no loss of quality). This and the use of the same kind of tapes prolongs the life of camcorder (I don't know exactly for how long, so you might consider not following my advice).
Most of the newer Editing software is now capable to handle DVX100 24p format.
This cam was released in December 2003. As of December 2004, in my opinion, it is still the best Professional camcorder in the price range of 5000.
Product Description
When you need maximum optical performance to spot wildlife in woodlands and brush under all lighting and weather conditions, consider this center-focus Predator model. Designed after consulting experienced hunters and world class birders, this model combines the brightness of Steiner's "CAT" optics and game sensing Predator lenses to let you find hidden wildlife under near impossible conditions. This model is fully multi-coated and phase coated. It is mil-spec waterproof and features the M-22 N2 high pressure dry nitrogen purging system (the most waterproof center focus binocular made!), shock resistant, extended eye relief for eyeglass wearers, and Steiner's wrap around eye cups to block distracting side light.
Amazon.com Product Description
Steiner's 8x42 Predator binoculars are lightweight, roof-prism, center-focus hunting binoculars. They feature the same predator "game sensing" lens coating as the Steiner 8x30 Predator. They offer a relative brightness of 27.56 and the advantage of enhanced contrast for spotting hidden game in the thickest foliage. The green objective lens coating blocks out the colors of haze and foliage and increases the transmission of brown, red, and other game colors. The wrap-around long-eye-relief Predator eyecups block distracting sidelight. The eyecups are constructed of soft rubber and provide 23 millimeters of eye relief for extended periods of comfortable viewing.
These binoculars provide 8x magnification and 42-millimeter lenses for a field of view of 367 feet at 1,000 yards. The rugged forest green rubber construction provides both water and shock resistance to withstand rain, moisture, and jarring. Along with the binoculars, you receive a case, a neoprene strap, and attached objective lens caps.
Steiner, Europe's binocular specialist for more than 50 years, backs its 8x42 Predator binoculars with a 30-year warranty.

Delicious.......2000-07-10
Steiner products have always been of very high quality and well worth the price. Wheather your spotting game or just fooling around they always prove to be very dependable. While I,ve just recently purchased this pair my grandfather has had his for 11 years, still in fine condition. The rubber coating is very durable. Highly recommended.
