Takes great video
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had a few weeks so haven't put it thru the gamut. Takes great video but doesn't seem to have an aperture compensator in low light. Or it may have but I haven't discovered how to set it. It will take some practice or otherwise trial and error to maximize it's capability. Has some audio "bells and whistles" that I'll probably not use much but I'm sure there are many who will. Would recommend getting a second battery. Cameras just don't makes sense without a spare at the ready. If I remember to do so, when I've had it for a year I'll try to review it again. I'll have a better chance to give it an Excellent rating.

Traditional Camcorder

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a 4K camcorder that is still the most convenient way to get high quality video of your subjects. Primarily interested in the 4K features to make the video as clear as possible in years to come.

Excellent camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this video camera. I bought it to replace and older Sony 1080P camera that was a little dated. I think the color accuracy is better than most, and I picked this brand after doing a lot of research. The menu system could be better, but there's no such thing as a perfect gizmo- right? Anyway, super happy with the Best Buy price and financing options as always. Oh, one last thing... the microphone is very, very good- better than I expected.

Wedding video

It was easy to use and performed beautifully. I then gave it to her so she could film my newborn granddaughter in action.

Underrated camcorder!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried the Sony a6300 for 4K video. I tried a Canon HD "prosumer" camera for the heck of it. Luckily I stumbled across this little wonder. The Panasonic has stunning 4K video quality. I read a professional review of the camera and they were lukewarm. I find the Panasonic has nearly identical video quality to my old GH-4. This camcorder has far less "jello" effect when panning. Except for lowlight situations, the Panasonic really excels. A winner!

Easy to learn and use.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only drawback is that it does not work with a 256 gb card. You should also buy a longer lasting battery as a back-up. Otherwise it's a good buy for the money.
