Panasonic AG AF 100 low light footage 3200 ISO

My friend Philip has got a loan unit of the upcoming Panasonic AG AF 100 camcorder (that’s not fair, I want one too!!). He tested the cam in a low light situation at 3.200 ISO with a Voigtlander 50 mm 1.1 lens. It looks damn good, very impressive. In case you don’t know, this is only a compressed MP4 video!

The form factor of the HDSLR are still the best argument, but the inputs and outputs (XLR, HDSDI) of the Panasonic AG AF 100 are quite important for professional use. Here are some notes from crews.tv on Vimeo: The camera is capable of 35mm lenses, so we used a PL adapter and Zeiss Ultra Primes , choosing from our set as we saw fit on the day. We chose to record on the on-board…
