Beyond the obvious advantages, the AG-HMC150 delivers stunning image performance and a proven camcorder design.
Formats include 1080/60i, 1080/30p, 1080/24p, 720/60p, 720/30p and 720/24p to choose from. The 720/60p stands out for its ability to work as an over-crank frame rate for smooth slow motion on 30p or 24p playback.
This zoom lens starts at 28mm (35mm equivalent). That’s a decent wide-viewing angle, perfect for small rooms. And while the 13x zoom doesn’t seem like a great deal of telephoto power, the experience of moving through the lens length from the 28mm starting position reveals lots of wonderful lengths in which to compose compelling shots. All this means there’s a lot of shot lengths for Creative Directors and DPs to choose from.

Two XLR inputs equal two channels of audio that can be controlled independently.
On top of the camcorder, there’s a shotgun microphone holder for the obvious reason of adding said mic. Or the on-board mics will also do the job for the casual shooter.
