The HPX250 is a real power-house. Recording 10-bit 4:2:2 100Mb/s puts it head and shoulders above the competition where image quality is concerned while its ultra-reliable P2 media is proof of its solid broadcast credentials. Among its other stand out features are a 21x zoom that starts very wide (28mm) and variable frame rate recording. A seriously good camera.
