does it shoot 1080p 24p ???
 

Im looking for a camera that shoots 1080p 24p. does the 500 shoots it or if it doesnt what is the diference between it and the HVX200? Can anyone tell me. Thanks.

I don't think there exists any camera in the world today that shoots 1080p.

mmmmmmmm...
 

Cinealta.... Varicam.... Red.... Genesis.... etc etc... those shooot 1080p at 24p

Those cameras are priced at 4X to 8X (maybe much more) than your target camera. You didn't specify your budget.

no budget limit.
 

i have no budget limit. but of course im looking to see if the 500 or the 2000 panasonic shoot 1080p this because i like the p2 system and because i own a hvx200 and love the image qualituy. but i want to blow up to 35mm.. that is why am looking for a camera that does 1080p

As far as I know, HPX500 only does 1080i. I have no information on HPX2000.

thank you very much.
 

thanks for your respose.

What?!
 

The HPX500 of course shoots 1080p!

are you completely shure??? i can shoot 24p at 1080p???

From Panasonic's website:

Records in 1080/60i, 50i, 30p, 25p and 24p; in 720/60p, 50p, 30p, 25p, and 24p; and in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV

Absolutely, positively, completely, unquestionably, YES. The HVX200, HPX500, and HPX2000 all shoot 1080/24p. 24 frames per second acquisition from progressive-scan chips.

Sigh! My apologies. My eyes not working today. I thought I was reading 1080/60i ... where it is really 1080/24p. Terrible.

I shoot 1080 24p all the time with the HVX200. I was a NAB and shot with the HPX500 and it shoots the same frame rates as the HVX.

ok
 

But what im talking about is not 1080i.... i want to know if they shoot 1080p
for axample, the hvx200 does not shoot 1080p at 24p...

Can you hear me now?
 

As is obvious from the posts here there remains, almost two years later, some confusion and doubt about the HVX filming 1080p or not.

I tried to find this out once from Panasonic directly. There was no satisfactory or straight answer. I asked: YES or NO, and was told to look at the statistics.

The stats are not clear. Many suppliers it seems to me deliberately have confusion in their stats and this whole world of HD is full of it. I find it very annoying and decided not to buy the HVX200, nor any HD for now and when some company stops talking about pulldowns, transpositions, interlace throw-over reverse spins, etc; and says: "Our camera films 1080p," then I'll buy.

Clear information could look like this: 1080i/60fps, 1080p/24fps, 720p/60fps, etc. No?

Sort of like the government, though, clear information and common sense often are hidden behind spin (although it nice to see companies produce fine products...but some companies do that and put out straight info.

Some companies even write clear and useful manuals.
