Panasonic P2 camcorders are professional camcorders records videos in HD MXF. P2 camcorders support a large number of SD and HD video formats at various frame rates, saving any recorded material to memory cards instead of having internal parts that move, such as a hard disk drive or a DVD disc. With the capability of resisting to high temperatures, shocks and vibration, P2 camcorders can capture the fast movement of the game and stay clear if you need to move around the field to capture the entire game while filming, which make P2 ideal professional camcorder to shoots fast motion, especially spots.

"The talent show within our company was astounding. It was a huge success and everyone had a great time. The only weak link in our production however, was the videographer. Although he obtained some good footage of the event, it was handed to us on a hard drive as just raw P2 MXF files; no editing, no conversion, nothing watchable on any system in the entire company."
