The Panasonic AG-DVX200 is a professional video camcorder engineered for demanding production environments, built around a large Four-Thirds MOS sensor that delivers stunning UHD 4K footage at up to 60 fps with an impressive 12 stops of dynamic range via V-Log L — giving colorists exceptional latitude in post. Its integrated Leica DICOMAR 13x zoom lens (equivalent to 29.5–384.9mm in 4K) with a fast f/2.8 aperture makes it a versatile all-in-one solution for documentary, broadcast, and cinematic work.
Designed with true camcorder ergonomics, the AG-DVX200 pairs professional connectivity — HDMI 2.0 for DCI 4K output and 3G-SDI for HD monitoring — with dual U3 SD card slots supporting relay, backup, simultaneous, and dual-codec recording modes. The five-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer and micro-drive focus unit further ensure sharp, fluid 4K imagery in any shooting scenario.
Key features
- UHD 4K up to 60p & FHD up to 120 fps: Variable frame rates give you slow-motion flexibility and broadcast-ready 4K in a single camcorder body.
- 12 Stops of Dynamic Range with V-Log L: Capture rich highlight and shadow detail for maximum creative control in color grading workflows.
- Integrated Leica DICOMAR 13x f/2.8–f/4.5 Zoom Lens: Three individual control rings (focus, zoom, iris) and a power zoom rocker deliver precise, cinema-style lens operation.
- 5-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer: Combines optical and electronic stabilization to eliminate camera shake and deliver smooth handheld 4K footage.
- Dual SD Card Slots with Flexible Recording Modes: Relay, backup, simultaneous, and dual-codec recording ensure uninterrupted capture and workflow-friendly deliverables.
- HDMI 2.0 & 3G-SDI Outputs: Feed DCI 4K to an external monitor via HDMI or route HD video to broadcast equipment through the 3G-SDI port.

Frequently asked questions
What is the highest video quality the Panasonic AG-DVX200 can record?
The AG-DVX200 records UHD 4K (3840×2160) at up to 60 fps in MP4 or MOV format. For 4K recording, a U3 speed-class SD card is required. It also supports FHD at up to 120 fps for high-frame-rate slow-motion footage.
Does the AG-DVX200 support professional log recording for color grading?
Yes. The camcorder features Panasonic's V-Log L gamma curve, which captures 12 stops of dynamic range and produces a flat image with maximum latitude for post-production color correction. A V-Log assist function lets you preview a normalized look on output without altering the recorded footage.
Can the AG-DVX200 record to two SD cards simultaneously, and what modes are available?
Yes. The dual SD card slots support four recording modes: relay (seamless continuous recording across two cards), backup (continuous on one card while start/stop on the other), simultaneous (duplicate recording on both cards), and dual-codec (different codecs per card, such as 4K on one and HD on the other — not available at UHD 59.94p).
