Panasonic announced the launch of the AG-CX370, the latest addition to its CX series of professional camcorders designed for video production, broadcasting and live streaming. Scheduled for release in the second quarter of CY2025, the AG-CX370 builds on the existing AG-CX350 with enhanced system capabilities for even greater performance.
The AG-CX370 will be showcased at 2025 NAB Show (Booth #N1311) from April 6 to 9.
The Panasonic AG-CX370
The first model in CX series, the AG-CX350, was introduced in 2019 for high-end imaging and enhanced creativity supported with 10-bit 4K recording, a wide-angle high-magnification zoom lens, HDR compatibility with V-Log/HLG, and a manual three-ring control—with advanced connectivity features such as streaming, SRT and NDI®1 HX2. Over the years, the AG-CX350 has been widely adopted as a high-performance handheld camcorder for professional video production and broadcasting. And now, the new AG-CX370 builds on these advanced capabilities thanks to numerous upgrades and higher-specification features.
