The AJ-PX5100 is a B4 shoulder-mounted P2HD camera-recorder which upgrades the company’s successful PX5000 series. With its breadth of recording options and exceptional image quality the PX5100 is targeted at network news, documentary, high-end corporate and sports production, as well as the rental market.

Maintaining the same Full HD 2/3 type 3 MOS sensor in a lightweight 3.4kg body, the new camera also offers HDR (HLG) content and 1080/60p,50p recording for the first time in a Panasonic ENG camera.
