Panasonic AG-HMC151 Camcorder
(Seriously Vested Interest Alert)
My Demo Panasonic AG-HMC151 camcorder has arrived, and as soon as the sun comes out I'll get out the door and shoot some stuff. In the mean time if anyone wants any information about the camera please feel free to PM me or add to this thread. As I work for the UK distributor of this camera I am obviously biased, but I will answer as as much as I can as an enthusiast rather than an employee.

What, if anything, is the relationship between the AG-HMC151 and the HMC-150 that I have seen discussed recently on DVinfo.net?
TIA

The 151 is the European version of the 150.

Panasonic now put a number 1 for European models. So the HMV151 is for Europe, while the HMC150 is for USA/Japan. This new model/numbering system has been implemented to prevent grey-imports; which is a good thing. In the past, grey-importers were simply rubbing off the Europe letter (i.e. Sony Z1e or Z1u etc) from the base of the camcorder.

Frame rates
Does the 151 do the NTSC frame rates as well as the PAL ones?

Yes it does. However you cannot mix 50htz and 60htz on the same SD card.

Does it do vari-speed in the same way as the HPX170/200etc Richard? It generally seems to be referred to as the same front end as a HPX170, but with SD cards and AVC-HD instead of P2 and DVCProHD, but the Panasonic pdf doesn't make any mention of varispeed, just variable shutter times.

No. The AG-HMC151 does not record Vari-speed. You can set 1080 24p, 1080 25p, 1080 30p, 720 50p, and 720 60p.
