Total score ?
(maximal 570)		385
Pros Good wide angle
+ Professional controls
+ genuine 720/50p mode and a variable framerate
Cons - low sharpness due to pixel shift
- P2 cards are more expensive than tape
- 4:3 display with low resolution
Conclusion Panasonicīs AG-HPX171E scores with its handling and the Leica lens shows very little chromatic aberrations.Thanks to finally cheaper recording cards the AG-HPX171E can be seen as an allround-model suited for both documentary and fiction shooting.But pixel counting searchers for ultimate sharpness will be happier with other models, as will those who do not wish to invest in P2 cards. The resolution of the display is too low.
