The Weirdest Flash Format (Panasonic P2)
Channel: Cathode Ray Dude [CRD]
Date: 2020-12-25

Hands down, this is the strangest flash memory format ever created, but it was created for very good reasons - just much, much earlier than it had any right to exist. Merry Christmas!

FYI, I didn't include much test footage because this video is meant to be about P2, not the camera - I just couldn't demonstrate much about P2 *without* the camera, so I kept it down to the absolute minimum, the features that would only show up because P2 was in use.
