High Performance HD Camera Rental
Our HPX500 exhibits at least two stops better performance in low light than similarly priced HD rental cameras. Our testing using a 17 percent grey chart and CDM reference chart indicates a true ISO rating of at least 640, very respectable.
A state of the art DSP with 14-bit A/D conversion and 19-bit HD/SD conversion allows this Panasonic camcorder to be used for a wide variety of tasks as you can tailor the output according to the style and setting of the event.
