Panasonic AJ-PX380 P2 HD Professional Camcorder Body Only

The Panasonic AJ-PX380 P2 HD camcorder is a shoulder-style professional unit built for crews that need dependable Full HD recording with real broadcast connectivity. Its three-chip MOS sensor design and AVC-ULTRA recording formats give you a practical, production-ready workflow for news, events and studio work.

Every Panasonic camcorder in the P2 family is built around flexible media, and the AJ-PX380 is no exception. You can record to microP2, P2 or SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, so you can work with the media your team already owns. XLR audio inputs with phantom power, SDI and HDMI outputs, and genlock and timecode connections make it easy to slot into a multi-camera setup.

This listing is for the camcorder body only, ideal for professionals who already have their own lens, batteries and accessories.

Key Features

• Three 1/3-inch MOS sensors (about 2.2 MP effective): A three-chip design captures each colour channel separately, which helps deliver clean, accurate Full HD footage for professional work.
• Full HD 1920 x 1080 up to 59.94p: Record smooth progressive footage for fast motion, plus 1080i and 720p options for different delivery requirements.
• NTSC and PAL frame rates: Switch between regional broadcast standards, so one camera can serve different clients and delivery formats.
• AVC-ULTRA recording (AVC-Intra, AVC-LongG, DV, DVCPRO): Choose the codec that matches your quality and storage needs, from high-bitrate intraframe recording to efficient long-GOP files.
• Flexible storage slots: Dual microP2, single P2 and single SD/SDHC/SDXC slots let you use the cards you already have and keep recording workflows adaptable.
• Built-in mechanical ND filter wheel: Clear, 2-stop, 4-stop and 6-stop ND settings let you control exposure in bright outdoor light without extra filters.
• Shutter angle control (3° to 360° in 0.5° steps): Fine-tune motion blur and reduce flicker for a precise look in different lighting conditions.
• Professional audio inputs: Three XLR inputs with +48 V phantom power support studio and shotgun microphones, so you can capture clean sound at the source.
• 3G-SDI, HDMI, genlock, timecode and LAN connectivity: Connect to monitors, switchers and network workflows, and sync multiple cameras on one production.

Why Choose the Panasonic AJ-PX380 P2 HD Professional Camcorder

If you are comparing a professional P2 HD camcorder for broadcast or event work, the AJ-PX380 stands out for its combination of three-chip imaging, flexible codecs and full professional I/O. You get the connections broadcast crews rely on without needing adapters for the basics.

The wide choice of recording media is a real everyday advantage. Teams that already use P2 cards can keep working as before, while SD card support offers an alternative for lighter shoots. With a built-in ND wheel and adjustable shutter angle, exposure control stays in the camera rather than in your kit bag.

As a body-only professional broadcast camcorder, it also suits buyers who prefer to choose their own lens and accessories. Buyers searching for a Panasonic camcorder in Bangladesh can get it from Geary BD with a 3-year service warranty (no parts warranty).
