Panasonic AG-DVX100 24P Pro Camcorder

The 24P that you've heard so much about in reference to this camera stands for 24-frame Progressive mode. That means this camera can capture 24 frames per second (fps)--the same rate as a 16mm or 35mm movie camera running at normal speed--and that each of those frames is captured as a complete image (rather than as two interlaced fields, each with only half the available horizontal lines). 

After the release of Stars Wars Episode II, which was filmed in 24P, this mode caught on with digital filmmakers because it lets them begin with a digital medium, move footage seamlessly into digital postproduction, then transfer it to 16mm or 35mm film for theatrical distribution with even less fuss than using a PAL camera requires. The DVX100 is the only camera in its price range to offer true progressive capture at 24fps; it can also shoot 30fps progressive or 60fps interlaced video.
