Panasonic AJ-HPX3000G : P2 Work Horse
If you are a P2 house and you want a quality HD product, you
are going to need a quality lens and an HD codec that can record in full 1920x1080.
The AVC-Intra codec uses intra-frame compression that can't be beat when matched
with my HD Canon lens. This camera also offers the older DVCPRO HD codec, if that better
fits your post-producton work flow.

Panasonic's P2 workflow is well established and is still very popular in many networks and independent production facilities. But, you still need to be cautious while handling data transfers in the field. That's why an experienced DP is invaluable to a P2 format shoot.
