Panasonic Full HD Video Camera Camcorder, 20X Optical Zoom, 1/2.3 Inch BSI Sensor, HDR Capture, Wi-Fi Smartphone HC-V785 (Black)

Picture quality superb, zoom amazing, voice quality clear, ease of use with touch screen. Playback is so cool, you can add a variety of music if you don't use the voice. Also the lens cap opens when the view arm is opened and closes when the arm is closed, so no losing the lens cap. I have owned Panasonic products for years, stands up to the quality in this camcorder. The playback on my iMac is very good and clear with Quick Time Player. The only item that was not included was a scan disc but that was not a problem as I chose the 128 for my travels. I will purchase an additional battery for my trip. Over all a huge winner!

Camera was an average cost to me. The product seemed to be in good condition when received. A couple parts were missing but the seller promised to replace them. Three months later the camera has stopped working. Apparently it is a software problem. It has stopped recording.

This has been a big improvement. We use this at our church to record our sermons. We do use the Rode wireless microphones, but the recording mic on this camera is not bad. It's decent.

Do not use a microSD card with this camcorder. I initially used the Samsung microSD card (and adapter). And while it worked initially a few times, I had intermittent issues with the camcorder recording functionality. After I hit the record button, it would beep as if to start recording as normal. However, it did not actually start recording. And hitting the record button again (to stop recording so I could try again) did nothing. And shutting the viewer would not shut off the camcorder. I had to take out the battery to shut it off. After switching to a regular size SD card a few months ago, I have had no issues. The camcorder works flawlessly. The two cards in the photo are basically the same. I have since used the Samsung microSD card in my DSLR camera without any issues. So I know it is not simply a bad microSD card. Overall, I really enjoy using this camcorder. The zoom is amazing and the picture quality is excellent. I have mainly used it for our sons' sporting events and school concerts. The IA+ gives the best picture quality IMHO outside of using the manual settings (where auto/manual focus, shutter speed, iris, white balance), which give the best picture quality once you get used to the settings.

I've only had this camera less than a day and I'm already impressed. Very stable and sharp focused. Auto-focus is fast and accurate! Color, exposure and zoom are phenomenal! I've tried two cheaper video cameras, and this puts them to shame. They were 4K and this 1080 camera is so much better. It's true. You get what you pay for! The app isn't great but the camera is amazing!

I hate this camera. wasted hundreds of dollars on it. Can not replay most videos on device, shows files as "corrupted" so you never know what you recorded or if you need to re-shoot. Files export and play fine, happens on all my SD cards. Mic. jack is under the viewfinder, you have to clear a warning page every time you plug in mic, and you will unplug it every time so you can close the screen... its a fun little game you get to play every single time you use the camera with a proper microphone. Many times now files have had corrupted audio making them useless with either mic. Audio is very hit and miss, extra loud or too soft etc. regardless of settings. Picture quality is not that great. Auto focus is fast... but very twitchy, focus on background, on foreground, my face, your face, item randomly picked for no reason and back and forth. constantly. Very poor low light recording, over compensates in lighting changes, bad for outdoor natural recording. Shoe adapter plugs into the rear of camera, this I could live with if it wasn't for the complete failure of all other features, but what a poor design, clumsy, afterthought... breakable and what if you lose it? If you pan the camera too fast, you get a warning over the screen blocking your viewfinder... that you are panning the camera too fast, after you pan the camera too fast.. or just move the camera while recording its really great when trying to focus on and keep things in frame.... that are moving. Battery life is poor. Have at least 3 on hand or keep camera off. The charge cord is proprietary, instead of a usb or usb-c so if you lose or forget it you cannot charge camera.... very 1980s tech. Files are burried under several layers of files.... once you find them its ok, but what a pain to click through 5 layers of files to find videos under file "STREAM". Why not put them at the top and I dont know call the file VIDEOS? I just do not trust this camera to record what I am filming and cannot "hope it works" every time I hit the record button, wish I would have evaluated it better before my return was up, would return in an instant after using it for a few months. I am looking for a new camera less than a year later, and guaranteed it will not be a Panasonic, and will be from a seller that backs what it sells with real world experience and knowledge.

I spent hours in stores and online researching a new video camera for my daughter. She’s had them and wanted one with a laundry list of qualities. I couldn’t find one that matched or so I thought. She said this one (and she’s a no filter honest teen) that this is perfect. Perfect sound (I had to listen to a lot of examples :-), photo quality, durability, wi fi connectivity and picture. I asked if she should just use her iphone instead like many reviews said on cameras and she was like nope. She’s one happy, smart tech savvy teen right now. All I’d say is wait for the discounts because they can be huge.

I'll start by saying, I don't know how to get quality pics, or videos on low light situations. I'm sure there is a way, but I haven't found it! Otherwise, I love this camera. It has so many options, including the wifi settings I got with my model. Zoom is fantastic, and super sharp (with good light).

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

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

I'm an amateur, I collect memories. This camcorder is a blessing. Picture Brilliant , sound surprisingly clear. Light weight, easy to use, fits in palm super comfy. Battery lasts 4 hours at least with the flash on. Very steady and strong zoom. If you want something easy, to point and shoot, this is it. For the record, I have a DSLR and the right lenses to shoot a video but with this camcorder everything is easier. Buy it before they become obsolete

I have purchased this camera for our little Historical Society and we are very happy with the quality. We have purchased an external microphone as the sound was not as great as we want.

This camcorder has been great. Easy to use and videos are clear and no issues with audio. My only complain is the transferring of videos to your phone can be a bit of a hassle. The image app is very laggy and can be very slow. It has just become very unreliable where I now only use direct transfer from the camcorder to my computer and then send to my phone as needed. Hope this helps! :)
