Panasonic HC-VX870K 4K Ultra HD Camcorder, Twin Video (PIP) WiFi from Smartphone Capture Feature (Black)

This is a great camcorder many pros as well as for family home videos love as with the auto functions it turns on opening the monitor then with decent light will takes great videos. Going pro it has additional options per manual control and some many interesting pre-post editing effects before transferring the files to whatever video editing software on your computer. With cinematic effects Panasonic added the dolly zoom effect. Think the movie 'Jaws' with Brody on the beach seeing a kid on a raft getting eaten by a shark and the camera sees his face never changing in distance while the background is zooming in. This dolly shot is built into the camcorder. This is a sturdy hard case I'm using for the Panasonic HV-VX981K camcorder which is a little larger than many small camcorders so not easy to find a case that fits especially with the wider lens hood for 16:9 recording. It holds the camera and supplied accessories, a second fast wall charger with two of the larger 390 batteries, additional 128Gb SD cards, a case with three 49mm UV, CPL, ND filters and a lens cap to protect them. There is still room for the excellent Sony ICD-UX570 recorder for secondary audio when video recording. In place of filters one could store a Ulanzi RGB Video light for special effects. Overall a compact case offering options for your gear. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BY36RJNH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Super happy with this purchase. I film all of my child’s sports games for his team using a gimbal. I switched from filming with a camera and this is great quality. Super light easy to use. Etsy happy with the quality

I'm pretty happy with this camcorder. We bought two of them and they, like most consumer cameras, are a little clunky out of the box. Features like auto light on/off, auto horizon level, and demo mode, can make it finicky to get your shot the way you want it, but a quick few minutes in the menu, got this camera in good working order. It has a great zoom lens with optics that allow the image to be sharp even at the tele end of the lens. I have noticed that the edges of the picture aren't super sharp when the camera is zoomed all the way out wide. For our application this isn't an issue as we'll be using this as a close up camera 99% of the time. This camera cannot record in 4K and output video via HDMI at the same time (HDMI will go out when you start recording), it can output and record to 1080P at the same time, however. The 4K is a little soft, as you would expect with a consumer camcorder, however the footage looks fantastic when scaled down to 1080p. The built in microphone is hands down the best quality I've ever heard from a built in camcorder mic. It sounds as if I'm using an external recorder. I'm also glad it has a built in video light and nightvision, however as I mentioned earlier, the built in light turns on and off constantly in auto mode, so I recommend disabling auto and switching it on/off manually when needed.

This is unbelievable. At first, I was a little annoyed that you have to pay so much for a camera that lets you set manual iris/focus/sound etc. But I finally but the bullet and paid 4x as much as a regular fully auto HD cam. I'm so glad I did. I just tested all of the fancy bells and whistles that I was skeptical about. Holy crap, they all work! I got this camera for recording my own concerts. The audio is on par with some of the field recorders out there. The 4k resolution means that I can leave this at a wide angle from across the venue and later in editing, zoom into my bandmates it as if it were a second and third camera. On top off all that, I don;t have to run out into the audience to press record right before the show and then run out after the show. I can control it from my phone (this is what I was sure wouldn't work properly but it did)! The wifi range isn't long enough for a large venue or festival, but you can tap into a wifi router which I already have on stage for our sound gear. I only got this camera because of it's manual control. Don't try shooting concerts with an automatic camera. The cameras don't understand stage lighting and it will look horrible unless it's a well lit outdoor show (of if the stage lights never change). Plus, they alway automatically focus on the stupid little toys and signs and beach balls that pop up from the audience. Manual settings solve all of that. You can get that with several different Cannon and sony cams for around the same price. But this camera absolutely CRUSHES it with the extra stuff. I am amazed. Tip: don't bother buying the expensive larger battery. Get a usb backup charger. The kind that you can use to power a phone or tablet. I have a heavy duty one that will outlast any camera battery. If you're using a tripod, you just rig up a place to put it and you're gold.

I tried buying this twice- both times was “like used”. The first time I ordered it, it was repeatedly delayed and I ended up canceling the order since I needed it for daughter‘s gymnastics competition and it wouldn’t have gotten here on time. The second time I ordered it, I received it, but it was missing pieces (one of them being the Charger so I couldn’t even charge it) and an OLDER version of the camcorder was sent. Needless to say, I was very annoyed at this point. I wasn’t able to record my daughter’s gymnastics competition thanks to their slowness and incompetence. I ended up buying this camcorder through target. Once I actually got my correct order, the quality of the camcorder is amazing. It’s everything I needed, and pretty easy to set up. I was able to send video/pics to my phone, and even play it on the tv thru WiFi. Sound quality was great. I hate missing any of my kids events so this camcorder is perfect for what I need.

I jumped on the 4k bandwagon, thought I would try it out considering the price, $900 for a 4k 30fps camcorder, that supports HDR, slow motion and a few other bells and whistles in 1080p 60fps mode?... what a steal... except I open it up and find UK Chargers, plug my camera in and check the settings and it's 4k 24fps, and 1080p 50fps, I guess Amazon thought that British Columbia Canada was somewhere in the UK, great looking camera, a ton of features, 2 stars because of UK version being sent, 24fps 4k is a down side, I could have got a cheap SJCam 4k 24fps for $200, that 30fps would have been just enough for some sports, or wild life stuff, but just my initial tests of following my daughter around a msg pops up on the screen saying my Panning is too fast... i've Contacted the Seller and hope they can help me out. otherwise i'll be sending in for a full refund.

Çok güzel fiyat performans kamera,tam prosumer giriş seviyesi gibi.. Biraz sanki malzeme kalitesini düşürmüşler gibi ama işlevi süper hemen her kullanıcıya hitap ediyor birşekilde

Excellent camcorder. Good zoom and easy to use.

Cette caméro permet de réaliser de très belles vidéos. L'autonomie de la batterie est aussi excellente. Il faut utiliser un carte SD classe 10 pour que tout fonctionne parfaitement. De plus, il faut avoir un bon logiciel de convertion vidéo, car cela permet de transformer une vidéo dans un format qui pourra être lu par toutes les sortes d'appareils (TV, smartphone,...). Je la recommande à tous ceux qui veulent avoir un bon appareil compact et facile à utiliser.

Excelente cámara de video grava muy bien llego en excelentes condiciones.
