Reviews of the Panasonic AG-DVX100

CNET Review
The Good: Real 24P at an affordable price for serious videographers; produces filmic look; professional controls; phantom power and two-channel audio control.
The Bad: High-contrast artifacting; noisy zoom and autofocus mechanisms; lack of gain adjustment and autofocus in progressive mode; only 10X optical zoom.
The Bottom Line: This professional 24P camera in compact dress raises the bar for its semipro price class.
