Impressions of the Panasonic HPX-171
Just spent most of the last week shooting with Panasonic's HPX-171. For those unfamiliar with the Panasonic camera range the HPX-171 is the European model, the equivalent of the US model, the HPX-170. This camera shoots DVCPro HD, or standard definition DVCPro, or DV to P2 card. There is no tape drive on the camera, therefore the only option is to record to card. For those want the ability to record to tape, Panasonic also offer the HVX-201A.

Understanding how to encode, why to encode and when to encode is paramount for those working with video on the Mac in the 21st century

This enables one to bypass the compression of the affordable cameras and achieve superior results to those which can be achieved with highly compressed codecs.
