P2HD handheld camcorder which features AVC-ULTRA codecs, microP2 card compatibility and wired and wireless network capabilities. It's ergonomic, compact and intuitive design takes inspiration from our field-proven professional shoulder-mount cameras.

The AJ-PX270 is the first P2 HD handheld camcorder combining the high quality and incredible efficiency of low bit rate AVC-ULTRA recording and the flexibility of a 3G/4G/LTE wireless mobility. The 5-pound PX270 provides all the key functionality of the high-end; shoulder-mount camera (AJ-PX5000 P2 HD with AVC-ULTRA). It features newly-developed high-sensitivity; low-noise 1/3 type 3MOS imagers to produce stunning pictures; even in low lighting conditions.

AVC-ULTRA codec family provides a wide range of recording bit rates

With its innovative AVC-ULTRA codec; the AJ-PX270 features both low-bitrate and normal recordings. For high-quality recording; the camera records in 100Mbps AVC-Intra100; as well as 200 Mbps AVC-ULTRA Class 200 (optional). For applications where file size is critical; e.g.; for wireless feeds; the PX270 records in low-bit rate AVC-LongG for extended recording and AVC-LongG25 enables extended 1920 x 1080 10-bit 4:2:2 broadcast-quality recording (four times longer than AVC-Intra100 for the same memory space).

New 22x zoom lens with three manual rings

A newly designed; compact; 22X zoom lens offers a wide 28 mm to tele 616 mm (35mm equivalent) zoom range. Its three manual operation lens rings, zoom, focus, and iris -- provide a comfortable manual control similar to interchangeable lenses; but without the need for actual lens changes. The zoom ring's solid feel and smooth action allow delicate ultra-slow zooming.

In addition; the camera's multi-step zoom control provides fast response and smooth zoom action; providing the creative freedom every camera operator wants. And the zoom control on the handle enables variable speed zoom; allowing fine zoom control even for low angle shots.

Two microP2 card slots

Two microP2 card slots enable the ultimate cost-effective operation. The microP2 card; with the same reliability as the P2 card; can be used without an adapter.
