Timo Klages Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I already read in some other threads about the HPX500 and HVX2000 and so on but one information that i am still missing is about the sensors (ccd´s) in these cameras. the panasonic homepage tells me, that the HPX2100 has an "active" resolution of 1280x720 pixels that are used and recorded so to speak. but i never got a reply from panasonic when i asked about the sensor in the HPX500. can anyone tell me, what kind of sensor (actice pixels and so on) is used in the HPX500? i am still wondering why there is such a great price difference between the 2100 and the 500. thanks for anyone who can help! timo klages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Ealer Posted August 29, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted August 29, 2007 On the sensor side, the HPX-2000 has 1280 x 720 2/3" sensors. The HPX-500 has lower resolution 2/3" sensors, they're supposed to be upgrades to the SDX-900's sensors (which were 960x480), but with a new spatial offset technology applied to get up to HD resolution. In addition, the HPX-500 has the same basic imaging controls as the HVX-200, while the HPX-2000 has a lot more advanced controls over gamma, matrix, etc. The 2000 also can handle AVC-Intra through an optional card... Add to that the HPX-2000 has one more P2 slot, and there's the price difference. Both cameras look good, obviously, and they're both good choices at their respective price points, but the HPX-2000 is going to have better performance in a number of ways - that's what you pay the extra $ for.
