WOW :-)
I received my 150 a little over a week ago. Bought it because I wanted to move up to HD and get out of the tape business. It did not come with an SDHC card. Bought an 8 GB to carry me over until my 16 GB cards arrive via Amazon. I am still on the learning curve on it. Especially liked the large comfortable color view eye piece. I was also amazed by the clarity of the video play back on my 48" LCD screen. Used the three cable output first, that came with the camera( Video, Lt. Rt. Audio ) Very clear video, much clearer than my trusty old Canon GL-2 It does not come with an HDMI cable. Bought one locally and tried it. Plugged one end into the HDMI out port on the camera and the other end into the HDMI port of my TV. I was blown away by how clear it was !! The video was clearer than some of the stations I view in HD.On playback, you are given a thumbnail of the first frame of each scene you shot when you turned the camera on. On playback, you can skip...

Nothing new to add... other than I love this camera
One thing you need to keep in mind is that editing AVCCam/AVCHD is a P.I.T.A. I'm using CS4 on a 2.4 quadcore with 8gig of RAM and Vista64 and it's sluggish with frequent lockups. I'm getting Cineform ProspectHD v4 when it comes out to compensate. Vegas 8.0c and Edius works well I'm told, and FCP need to convert it to ProRes (or whatever it's called). I think Avid needs to convert it to a native codec as well. Panasonic does offer a free converter to DVCProHD on there website[Update 6/5/09... Premiere CS4 4.1 update is out, and editing is much easier. Also, Prospect v4 is out, and editing with the demo I've been trying has been a joy]That said... the camera itself is awesome. Really. I'm coming from the DVX, and this is leaps and bounds above that (which is saying something). The images I'm getting are beautiful. I'm planning on going out now on my days off to shoot just for the fun of it.I really can't add anything that hasn't been said already by...

Product Description

The cooler than cool AG-HMC150 drew big crowds at the 2008 NAB Show. Why? Simply because it offers an unheard of Bang for the Buck, in a 1/3-inch three-chip hand held tapeless HD camcorder, while retaining the core versatility of the DVX100B. The HMC150 sports a 28mm lens right out of the box and a new PH Record mode (21 Mbps) which offers higher resolution with a host of recording formats including 24p. Add to that, amazing low light performance, long record and battery time and professional Audio capabilities at a price that will make it an instant hit with a wide range of AV Shooters, Indie creators and Event video professionals.

Best camera for the price!!
It was a long wait but finally got it last week and then took it for a trip right away, its performance it's outstanding, I got this camera for a TV show we are producing, after seeing a few options we decided to get this one because of several reasons:- Size, the camera is very compact, for a camera that provides broadcast quality image the size is amazingly small.- Construction, this camera has most of its body made out with metal panels, that makes it very solid and also makes it reliable, also the set up of the buttons are easy to access.- Price, there are other models in the market that could deliver a similar quality or probably a little better but the cost is at least $1k more, if you think like I do "creativity is the main ingredient for a good production", spending the extra cash doesn't really make a difference as long as you are aware of the camera's capabilities and limitations, but there is always ways to improve performance in some conditions that...

Balance of power has officially shifted to AVCHD
I just met this camera last week, little brother to the HMC150. The HMC40 brings several welcome upgrades to market. I'm an intermediate producer in training with lots of self study and attended a few great workshops. After two years of shooting 1920 HD on the low end I have to say this camera impressed me.PROS:1) MPEG-4. Shoots very good quality in a tiny light weight package. Just love it. Even has time-lapse capability which sure beats roto-ing in post for a time lapse effect.2) You can squeeze two HMC40s in the same size carryon pelican case as the 150.3) Start editing your shots on Mac in only 2-3 minutes without waiting for rendering. No transcoding required, no $600 P2 cards either. But you should use something faster than just class 6 SDHC media if you want to bump up the quality a little, otherwise you might get some artifacts (image problems) with fast motion and striped clothing. Same problem as any media recording slower than the camera...

Perfect!!!
This camera deserves "6 Stars" on image quality. I am a Realist when it comes to reviewing a product. First: we must consider the items price, $1995.00. In the "Professional Video Camera World", That is tantamount to saying a steal!!! I will not go into features and functions, the description of this Camera is given in detail on the product description portion of this page.Second: Size and weight, Until very recently, a Pro Video Camera came in two sizes, large and super large. The additional problem here is that the general public became used to seeing these monstrosities at events, and broadcasts. Many Video Camera Professionals still look for these monstrosities simply to appease their clients visual expectations. This is the wrong approach, we should stop breaking our backs with our equipment, and instead educate the public of the technological advances that have benefited this industry. The video quality produced by this camera will please the most discriminating...

It IS BIG
Dementions given are inside and this is a very large bag. It will carry your camera and all your accessories. The bag is well made with lots of compartments handles and shoulder strap, all at a reasonable price. I also can't say enough about Sunset the supplier. I had some questions and problems and they were more than helpful. Another great Amazon purchase.

You get what you pay for
I was excited when I opened this bag up. A ton of space, and pockets. All the equipment I need in the field fit in perfectly. Now, I know and understand that I should have forked over the cash for a Porta Brace bag, but I just didn't have the money and was in need of a bag rather than a case.This bag has been on 4 shoots, and well there is already signs of threads popping out.This is not as rugged as you'd hope, but it's a decent bag for the price.

Product Description

Overview
The Panasonic AG-HMC150 is a camcorder designed to record in high definition on standard SecureDigital (SD) and SHDC memory cards. While SD-based camcorders have been gaining ground in the consumer market, the AG-HMC150 has the ability to record AVCHD images at significantly higher bitrates. This enhancement makes the camera more efficient than comparable HD interframe codecs, such as HDV and XDCAM EX. Using H.264 as its compression algorithm, the camera can record incredibly detailed images at a fraction of the file size.

1- Panasonic AG-HMC150 AVCCAM Camcorder

Almost needed if you wanted to do long shoots without a cord
Yes, I did grit my teeth and purchase this battery. On the AG-HMC40 it reports 8 hours of battery life on the first charge. This battery is very useful if you need an extra battery and don't want to rely on the little starter battery Panasonic provides.It's a little funny looking, since it does stick out the back of the camera some, and the starter battery looks like it's getting lost in the same space. It's not too bad, and doesn't interfere with the usage.Really the only downer on this battery is the cost. The AG-HMC40 seems to be VERY power efficient, and this battery shows just how far you can go. I guess if you just consider this part of the camera cost, it's not so bad.I love the battery now that I have it, You always WANT that extra battery waiting for you on the charger anyway, so it's hard to say no.If I ignored battery cost, I would probably want to rate this at 4.5 stars or so.

High score on the "TECH", Low score on the related cost
They have been (up until I intervened) marketing this battery as a 7.2V 5800mAh Panasonic battery which according to Panasonics web site is the VW-VBG6PP-KThe two that I purchased ( 2 seperate purchases, caught it on the second one) are both 7.2V 5400mAh Panasonic battery which according to Panasonics web site is the VW-VBG6. (There are other web sites doing the same thing)The box my second one arrived in is production labelled VW-VBG6 as shown in the product images above.The white label on the back (probably applied later) shows the other model VW-VBG6PP-K.The actual battery contained within is the VW-VBG6 7.2V 5400mAh battery as shown in the above battery label image above.The actual cost of this battery concides with Panasonics pricing. I feel that the price for either battery is a bit extreme considering there are no other options. I also agree that this should be the battery included with the camera, in my case the Panasonic...
