Panasonic has announced the launch of four professional-grade camcorders designed to meet the demands of video production, broadcasting, and live streaming. The models: AG-CX20, AG-CX18, HC-X1600, and HC-X1200—combine high-quality 4K 60p recording with portability and innovative features for versatile applications.

Each camcorder boasts a 25mm wide-angle lens and 24x optical zoom, ensuring sharp and dynamic footage. Using i.ZOOM, magnification extends to 32x in 4K and 48x in Full HD, offering flexibility for diverse shooting environments. The advanced optical performance is complemented by Panasonic’s proprietary 5-axis Hybrid O.I.S., reducing motion blur even in challenging scenarios.

The AG-CX20 and AG-CX18 lead the series with cutting-edge features, including SRT protocol for low-latency, high-quality live streaming and NDI HX2 compliance for IP-based workflows. These models also support dual codec recording, enabling simultaneous output in different formats for efficient post-production. Meanwhile, the HC-X1600 and HC-X1200 include 3G-SDI outputs and Wi-Fi connectivity, catering to mobile and studio setups.

Enhanced usability features include high-resolution OLED viewfinders with improved eyecups, USB Type-C support for power and connectivity, and two manual rings for precise focus and zoom control. A low-speed zoom function expands creative options, and a shooting guideline display aids in achieving perfect composition.

The camcorders also support versatile recording formats, including 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording, HEVC, and MOV, ensuring compatibility with professional workflows. The dual SD card slots allow for unlimited relay recording, background recording, and simultaneous backup.

Available with optional accessories like detachable handle units, these camcorders cater to professional users seeking a balance of quality and flexibility. Panasonic continues to reinforce its position as a leader in imaging technology, delivering tools that empower creators to produce exceptional content.
