Panasonic AG-HPX300 Brochure & Specs page 13

Controls and Card Slots Grouped on One Side
All operation switches and volume controls are set on the left side of the
camera. P2 card slots, which were set on the right side in previous models,
have also been moved to the left side. Their logical horizontal arrangement
makes it easy to insert and remove cards quickly.
Low Power Consumption — Only 18 W
By developing a new energy-efficient DSP and integrating the AVC-Intra
codec circuitry with it, Panasonic significantly downsized the printed circuit
board. This not only makes the AG-HPX300 smaller and lighter, it also
reduces power consumption. The new image sensor helps lower power
consumption too. Together, these innovations reduce power use to only
18 W during recording. The lower battery consumption can mean greater
mobility in the field.

High Image Quality Color Viewfinder and LCD
The AG-HPX300's color EVF uses a 0.45-inch approx. 1,226,000 dots-
equivalent (852 x 3 [RGB] x 480) LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon)
display panel. This newly developed system delivers bright, detailed,
high-resolution images and a high response speed. The AG-HPX300's LCD
monitor is a 3.2-inch panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio. With approx.
921,000 dots (1920 x 480), it boasts higher resolution than the LCDs in
previous models.
