Panasonic will also be at EAR (details) to introduce the AG-HPX500 which operates much like the HVX200 does, only with 2/3-inch imaging chips, five P2 slots, interchangeable lenses, and (tbd) optional support for the AVC-intra codec. The camera body is manufactured at the same factory as the AG-HVX200 so they share design and style.

Catch the HD camera live in person March 29th @EAR  - or -  the  condensed webcast  to follow. The  Webcast  is free and available  anytime you are (expected to be posted  early April).
