This compact, handheld model features a 28mm* wide-angle zoom lens – widest in its class – and a newly developed 1/3-inch 16:9 progressive CCD that assures outstanding image quality.

Two P2 card slots allow up to 64 minutes of continuous HD recording. Hot-swapping is possible, for extended non-stop
recording. With functions such as pre-rec and loop rec, the AG-HPX170 provides smooth, stable recording, helping ensure that  you never miss out on a good shooting opportunity.
