Yes, is the answer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At a low price point for 4k cameras, i wasn't expecting a lot, but it delivers a lot. Leica lens helps. A good buy.

Good camcorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace my Sony DVD camcorder. I couldn’t find any other DVD camcorders which would have been my first choice. However this camcorder can connect to my computer and creating a DVD from the computer works great. I can play the DVDs on my DVD player with no issues.

Highly Recommended
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been a Sony video camera person back since the mid 80s. Always stuck with them. I decided after reading many reviews of this Panasonic that I’d give it a try. Got it for 350 Less then the Sony 4K and love it! The 4K recordings are amazing

Switch from NTSC to PAL to film at 25fps
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camcorder for basic filming. The number 1 tip: If you want to shoot at 25 FPS (the closest you will get to the cinematic 24 at 4K or 50 in 1080p - you can switch the factory setting from NTSC to PAL.

Not super great video, but OK.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wasn't supper happy with this camera, I wanted a really good clean 4K shooter, and sadly this was not it, returned it in a week. I got it at full price. The bit rate leaves you wanting more detail and less compression and it has the purple edges thing camcorders seem to love to do. Low light was very noisy as well, very annoying ton shoot with. The lens shroud is pretty neat and the light included on it works great for shooting in the dark. I forget how the sound was. On sale this might be just the camera you are looking for for cheap 4K video, but for me, it wasn't what I wanted.

Nice for recording, but not for broadcasting.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice camera, but did not meet the needs we bought it for. One thing I did't care for was the lens cover was electronic and could not be opened manually. Also there was not way to eliminate the day date and setting from showing up on a video feed. The idea was to use this to broadcast and record church services. Using OBS we could not clear up the stuttering in the audio feed to Facebook. Our 200 dollar Canon worked better for broadcasting. This camera would be fine for recording, but not for podcasting or broadcasting in my opinion. I had to send it back.

Great 4k Camera (almost 4k)
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Panasonic is definitely a good entry level 4k camera. However, one disappointing issue is that it can't be used for streaming. At least, I don't have the equipment to stream with it.

Nice Camcorder, with nice clarity
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried to film in 4K and kept on shutting off. I have to figure that out. Must be the SIM card? But in HD mode, is perfect. Pictures are clear and the on screen touch is very easy to work.

so far great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the best camcorders if you are a person that film in dark areas. Hopefully this would lead the way for other brands to make at least one of they're cameras with a light assist.
