The AG-HPX250 is a P2 HD handheld camcorder with 10-bit, 4:2:2 independent-frame,
full 1920 x 1080 resolution AVC-Intra recording. Weighing 5.5 pounds, the
AG-HPX250 incorporates high-sensitivity 1/3”, full-HD 2.2 megapixel
3MOS imagers and a 20-bit digital signal processor to acquire native 1920
x 1080 resolution images. Offering a wide 28 to 588 mm (35 mm equivalent)
22x HD lens with 3 independent adjustable rings, the AG-HPX250 covers most
shooting situations without the need for a wide-angle conversion lens.
The 22x lens also features an Optical image stabilizer (O.I.S.) function
that ensures stable images during shooting.
