Panasonic Camcorder AG-CX350 – Handheld 4K with 20x Optical Zoom and 10-bit 4:2:2 Recording

The Panasonic AG-CX350 is a handheld 4K camcorder built for broadcast and professional production environments. It uses a 1.0-type MOS sensor with over 15 million effective pixels to deliver high-quality 10-bit 4:2:2 recording and HDR-capable workflows. The camera supports multiple professional codecs and P2 formats for ENG-style recording and professional delivery.

Professional recording capabilities

The AG-CX350 offers broad codec support to match different production needs. It records MOV files with data rates up to 400 Mbps and HEVC files up to 200 Mbps. In addition, it supports traditional P2 codecs such as AVC-Intra and AVC-LongG for established broadcast workflows.

Moreover, the camcorder includes V-Log gamma, providing up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range for greater latitude in grading. It also supports HLG for HDR workflows, allowing direct HDR delivery or efficient post production paths.

The lens delivers a 20x optical zoom and a wide 24.5mm angle of view. Optical image stabilization helps maintain steady shots during handheld operation. For long shoots, dual card slots accept UHS-II SD cards and microP2 cards, providing flexible and reliable recording options.

Please note the camcorder’s typical power consumption is 11.5W, and it weighs approximately 2.3 kg in shooting configuration, which balances professional features with handheld usability.

Connectivity and integration

The AG-CX350 offers professional I/O to fit into live and studio environments. It provides 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs and includes timecode in/out capability for accurate multi-camera synchronization. For IP workflows, the camera supports NDI HX1, enabling low-latency network video distribution.

Additionally, the camcorder can stream directly using RTMP, which supports modern live streaming workflows. The camera’s touch-panel LCD and electronic viewfinder give operators clear monitoring and full manual control over exposure, focus, and color settings. Network connectivity also enables remote camera control and live streaming in many production setups.
