New Panasonic Camcorders

Panasonic announced four professional 4K 60p 10bit camcorders with 25mm wide-angle lens and 24x optical zoom. The new camcorders will cover all video production, broadcast and distribution needs. The models are the AG-CX20, AG-CX18, HC-X1600 and HC-X1200. The AG-CX20 and AG-CX18 feature a detachable handle, while the HC-X1600 is compatible with a handle sold separately.

These 4K 60p 10bit camcorders combine a compact and lightweight body with unmatched optical performance that includes a 25mm wide-angle lens and 24x optical zoom. This series has earned high praise from directors who demand high mobility and quality image performance.

The higher-end AG-CX20 and AG-CX18 models support FHD live streaming via Wi-Fi and Ethernet. In addition, the AG-CX20 will support the SRT protocol for high quality, low latency broadcasting. From a system perspective, the AG-CX20/AG-CX18 models feature 3G-SDI and support simultaneous output via HDMI. The AG-CX20 model also provides IP connectivity compatible with NDI HX2 for seamless live streaming in a networked environment.

The AG-CX20 and AG-CX18 cameras will be available in February and the HC-X1600 and HC-X1200 cameras in April 2025.
