Panasonic MHC150 Takes on XDCAM EX-1
Written by steven on February 14, 2008 – 1:08 pm -Panasonic and Sony are always bitter rivals and while we appreciate the Panasonic HVX200, the Sony XDCAM EX-1 takes it up about 10 notches. We love our Sony XDCAM EX-1 pro-level handheld video camcorder. The XDCAM EX-1 knocks the socks off the Panasonic HVX200, so of course Panasonic had to step up.
Their latest offering, the MHC150 (terrible name), looks alot like the HVX200 except uglier and more generic. Their format of choice is AVCHD and the MHC150 boasts 1080p/60. Its supposed to ship in the fall and should roughly match the XDCAM EX-1’s $6.5K pricing. We bet the specs and prices will be a bit lower grade then the XDCAM EX-1, specs which is a low budget shooter’s dream come true.
In other words, don’t get too excited about this Panasonic. The good news is that it may be a hint of other things to come. Frankly we’d be disappointed if this was all they had to battle the EX-1 with.
