Panasonic AG-DVX100
The Panasonic AG-DVX100 is a video camera released on October 13, 2002, manufactured by Panasonic. It was the first consumer 60-hertz digital camcorder to support video recording at 24 frames per second (progressive scan) onto MiniDV tape. This feature replicated the frame rate of traditional film stock, aiming to achieve a classic film-like look using digital equipment.
The camera received its final update in 2005 with the release of the Panasonic AG-DVX100B(E). It primarily recorded onto cassette tapes. Later in its lifespan, third-party developers introduced modifications for the AG-DVX100BE, the European variant of the AG-DVX100B, which enabled it to stream footage directly to a connected laptop or desktop computer.
In the Chinese market, the series was branded as AG-DVC180/A/B and functionally identical to the European PAL model AG-DVC180E.
