+ Real 50p-mode and variable frame rates
+ Acceptable wide-angle
+ Good lowlight characteristics
Cons - Menu buttons/distribution unergonomic
- Display
- Driver necessary for PC/Mac
- No FullHD
-3CCDs with pixelshif do not result in full sharpness

Conclusion Unfortunately, with the AG-HVX200 Panasonic puts its focus on pixel shift instead of real CCD-resolution.This provides only satisfactory results in terms of luminance resolution.The color resolution is much better, in the SD-Modi (especially DVCPro50) the HVX200 is also very good.Image noise is increased by the delineation, therefore lowlight-images look somewhat unsettled.The image dynamic and the very good lens still make for a good image impression in HiDef, in the DVCPro50-mode it is very good.In our opinion the SD1 is the best AVCHD Cam by Panansonic, and it remains competitive in 2008 thanks to its wide-angle and lowlight characteristics .
