Panasonic has announced the release of the AF100A camera, an incremental update to the AF100 Micro Four Third camera system. It looks like it’s in stock right now at your favorite camera retailer, and shipping for around $4600. It also appears that with this announcement, the AF100 is now officially discontinued.
The AF100A appears to offer a few marginal improvements over the AF100…this is basically a minor rev bump to maintain the product. A key improvement would be the addition of 10-bit 4:2:2 HD-SDI output (for external recorders only), which Panasonic inexplicably insists on calling “enhanced 8 bit” (and which makes me wonder if they are fudging some math). There’s also a new enhanced focus feature, and some AVCHD ver. 2.0 mode additions. Not much, really. Nothing really to get excited about, unless you were already planning on investing in the AF100.
