Panasonic Video Camera Review: The Panasonic AG-AC160

http://HowToSellYourVideos.com

Last week at DV Expo, I was able to get Panasonic's Jan Crittendon on camera introducing us to the new Panasonic AG-AC160, which was making its debut at the show.

In this video, Jan:

Showcases what I think is one of its most attractive features - the lens (trust me, you'll be impressed!);

Explains its really cutting-edge autofocusing capability and why it's perfect for run and gun shooting;

Discusses why it's like the vaulted AG-AF100 but with a smaller imager;

Covers the 4 points of difference between the AG-AC160 and its "little brother," the AG-AC130, and lastly;

Introduces a helpful aid to help you come away with good video - a neat focus assist.

If you've been lusting after the Panasonic AG-AF100 but only have a budget in the $3,500 - $5,000 range, the AG-AC130 and the AG-AC160 are
well worth a look. I'd sure love to have one of each.

Jan says they're heading over on the ship as of this post.

@amvideo I like the G10 a lot. I just finished an outdoor shoot today and the images are great. We were also shooting with a Canon 7D and 550D, a Canon HF M41 and a couple of other camera. The G10 really shown above them all, I think.

The touch screen menu takes some getting used to and I wish it had a longer reach in the zoom, but otherwise I am very happy with it.

I'm interested in the Panasonic AG-AC130, I mostly shoot skateboarding, snowboarding, and nature..will the lack of VFR be an issue if I wanted to undercrank/overcrank a sequence with the AC130? should I just bite the bullet and get the AG-AC160? any suggestions, comments, opinions are greatly appreciated, thanks!

@brownerfilm In answer to your question about the AG-AC130 and its lack of VCR for your video needs, I would think it would be an issue you need to strongly consider. It may be worth a call to Panasonic or if you belong to any forums, ask around if other users of the AG-AC130 use it as you want to and if they have problems.

I'm not that up on Panasonic cameras...just knew Jan and was curious about this camera so it caught my eye at DVExpo2011.

Let me know what you decided to do!

@pmaddison - we shot this with a Canon G10.

While I am nowhere close to being a pro, I am not a stranger to photography or to digitals. Recently I wanted something better than what I had for an upcoming trip to Italy and I bought the Lumix DMC-LX2 on Amazon after reading reviews, etc. It is no SLR, but it is far more than a back-up ...

How do you like the Canon G10 so far?

It's nice to hear from Jan again. I'd be interested to know what camera was used to record this presentation.
