No doubt, no Iphone or any smartphone can replace the quality and easy use. The camera is super light and with the built in monitor super easy to view what you actually recording. The HDMI output is super important to connect it to a Mac or PC in case you want to live stream or just use it as a webcam. You can mount it on any camera tripod and record also with the app remotely. It is different than a smartphone and has a lot of benefits over it.

Great camera. Has tons of functions that I don't use or understand and wading through the selections at times is challenging. But once you find the right default settings for amateurs to shoot in, it produces good results. Haven't seen any video that looks crisp like in 4K, but its definitely a good quality image. I think you will be disappointed if you are looking for that 4K image crispness. Not even close in my opinion. Then again, maybe its a setting or lighting issue. Battery has a decent life. Films an entire basketball game without dying and that's all I use it for anyway. A 90 minute basketball training is where I start to get worried about battery life.

I bought this camcorder especially for my Granddaughter's wedding, and it performed well. I am also a real estate agent, and this will be a good addition to my work cameras, as it takes very good still pictures as well as video. It is light weight and easy to hold. Unlike my other cameras and note 4 phone, I have no problem seeing the screen in daylight. This was a big issue with me when taking outdoor pictures of homes with my other devices, because I could not see the screen and had to guess. I first thought the speaker didn't work well, but when I connected to computer and tv, the sound was fine.
Nice additions would be a view finder and louder on board speaker. But these would cost more, and I got a very good deal ordering open box on Best Buy. Shipment was fast, and I received lower price match when they lowered the open box price. 12 months interest free. Thank you Best Buy.

I didn’t know that most, if not all, recordings done will be split in 4gb segments. You have to recombined them on your computer to get the full video in one file. I didn’t know this when buying the camera and thought about returning it, until I did some research. It was a good deal at $300 off regular price. Nice video quality and easy to use, once you know about separate files.

Excellent camcorder. Very easy to use and the picture quality is great. Only drawback is the microphone. Not the greatest at picking up sound unless it’s in front of the camera but I wasn’t expecting it to be good. Would recommend an external mic

I have owned this camera for about a month and have been using it regularly to record church services to post on YouTube. The video and audio quality are quite impressive and the camcorder is relatively easy to use. There are still more features I have yet to explore and am looking forward to doing so. I would highly recommend this camcorder.

I bought this camera to record my son’s youth football games. The 4K recording is amazing, but you will need a back up battery and at least 128 memory card. Overall we love watching his games as a family and he will always have his youth football memories when he is older.

I found this camera to have great video. ok amount of options. the still picture option is a joke, don't bother. Also the on camera audio. well lets say don't use the onboard audio. it is just trash. the only thing the onboard audio is useful to me is syncing the audio tracks in premier pro.
Oh the size tiny light,, easy to travel decent battery life. easy to swap battery.
oh,,, one other issue the 4k video files split like every 6 minutes and it looses a couple seconds, so I do a bunch of short clips. and edit them together.

Never going back to old camcorder tape system, especially after our Canon camcorder died again. Really liking this model of the Panasonic. It has a clear picture, good sound, and is easy to use.
Has many more features still learning how to use!
