Parts missing! I bought as excellent condition. Dont buy their products.!

I work as a private investigator and I've been looking for a good solution to upgrade my cameras to and this camera was perfect. Because of legal requirements for evidence for court use, we are required to use cameras that can produce a date and time stamp on the video. I am currently using a Lumix which is a Panasonic brand. The software I use to convert a video takes the metadata that the camera generates and display the date and time stamp onto the video during the conversion process. I've tried multiple cameras from various companies and most do not convert. Panasonic and Lumix both do. What I love most about this camera is that it has a very clear night vision function. I decided to spend even more and go to the vx981 model. If you're on a budget, this camera is great for investigators as well as for everyday use. The images are super sharp and the functions are easy to understand.

I purchased this camcorder to video various meetings and events for a senior community home owners association. So while I knew of the more expensive 4K model, this 1080p version is very adequate for my needs. The on-line users manual is very detailed and I recommend that users read it to become acquainted with the camera's various features and settings. After reading the manual I found the camera very easy to use. The video quality on playback in 1080/60p is excellent. And, although the camera's internal microphone is adequate, I found that the use of an external microphone plugged into the camera resulted in much better quality audio on playback. However, if the camera is plugged into AC while recording, there is a noticeable hum or buzz -- so be sure to have a battery with enough recordable time for your event so you don't have to rely on AC -- in my case 1+ hour meetings. I was a little disappointed that Best Buy did not have, and could not order additional batteries for the camcorder, but that may have been because I made my purchase close to Christmas. Nevertheless, I was very pleased with the assistance the Best Buy sales associate provided me in selecting the product. I have yet to explore and use the many features that the camcorder offers, but so far all in all, I'm very please with the quality, value, and ease of use of this camcorder. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

I wanted to film my son's hockey games for the team and looked at several camcorders and read about filming hockey from whatever online articles and forums I could find. The Panasonic 770 was suggested as a good camera for hockey as it has an action setting and performs well in low light situations. I've filmed several games in various arenas and they all have come out quite well. The forums also steered me away from the 4k cameras due to the amount to data storage needed, and I quickly realized that filming at 720 was enough. My only complaint is the MP4 codec used by the camcorder. I made the assumption that it was H264 and would be compatible with most devices, and that was wrong. I have to use a converter like Handbrake to convert to H264 in order to share and work with most devices and smart tvs.

I had bought this Panasonic HC-V770 camcorder after buying a Sony HDR-CX440. I wasn't impressed with the low light video quality of the Sony and hoped the larger image sensor in the Panasonic would perform better. I was very happy with the improvement the Panasonic provided in low light conditions and most conditions overall. I returned the Sony.

Tiny camera, but delivers quality. The zoom is incredible. Ultralightweight.

... don't let the size fool ya! This camera is great. I went from a Sony camcorder which was horrible in low light settings (loved everything else about the Sony ) to this camcorder and I couldn't be happier. It's compact, works ....well in low light, pretty durable as is been to many a basketball n football games! Videos are clear.

I am not a tech person so I needed a camera that was easy to figure out and small and light. This camera has been perfect. We recently had a baby and this camera has been fantastic for videos and pictures. The functions are very clear and simple and so is uploading the videos.

This was a replacement for a similar model which stopped working all of a sudden. This version feels much cheaper given that more parts are plastic on this model. That said, it has a lighter weight feel to it and has the bonus Wi-Fi features -- and was less expensive than the older model. The quality of video is great as with our last Panasonic. Video transfer is also a similar process. I would recommend an extra battery and battery charger with this video camera. It's always good to have an extra battery handy, and using an external charger is more convenient than hooking the cord up to the camera. In my last camera, the charger was included (not the extra battery). this time around it's a separate purchase.

I LOVE this camcorder. so easy to use, takes up little room in my bag, light weight. Used it almost everyday on our Rocky Mountaineer Train trip.

It is lite weight, great stabilization and fantastic zoom

this is my second camcorder, it fits my needs. Clear video and turns on when i open the door, I use these for work everyday, The first one, the bottom broke out from me over tighten the cam to the monopod after almost two years and 6000 hours of use. The original battery could be better but there is after market one that excel well. if someone was to asked you will be about two hours of video time if you started and didn't shut it off on the original battery if that makes sence.

I take this cam all over the world and I get top HD video. Great product. Ive bought my second one.

Easy to use with Excellent picture Lightweight which is handy when filming without a tripod.

We are using this camera to livestream worship services in a cathedral-like sanctuary that doesn't have the greatest lighting. It does a fantastic job!

Easy camera to use without adjustment. Don't know how the battery life compares to other camcorders but seems too short for my satisfaction. I find that the sound quality of the on-camera mic has too much echo and tends to pick up background noise too much.

Great purchase. Daughter does YouTube videos and was perfect choice

I love this camcorder is perfect to bring it everywhere, the size the weight but after all the quality is awesome.

I use this for my YouTube channel and it's a solid video camera that's great for the money for amateurs. The battery lasts plenty long and easy to charge by USB. My picture quality looks decent on TV. If you're an amateur wanting to go pro I think this might be a really good starting video camera. Keep an eye on sales.

I bought it to record my grandson’s football games from high up in the stands. My main reasons buying it was to get a “close up” video of them and it does not disappoint. Plus it’s compact and very light, which makes it easy to hold and transport with all the other bulky stuff I have to lug back and forth.
