Pros and cons

According to our camcorder expert

The images look lifelike thanks to the 4K quality.
With the 8.57-megapixel BSI MOS sensor, you can record in low-light conditions.
The tiltable viewfinder makes it possible to record from various angles.
When you record in 4K, the camcorder's battery runs out faster.

Description

The Panasonic HC-VXF1 meets the needs of professional videographers, thanks to its 4K cropping function. You'll make lifelike 4K images in wide-angle mode. The 8.57-megapixel BSI MOS sensor suppresses noise, allowing you to make good recordings in low-light situations. Thanks to the tiltable viewfinder, it's easy to record subjects close to the ground. It also blocks bright daylight. Thanks to the 24x optical zoom, the lens has a range of 25mm wide-angle to 600mm telephoto zoom. This allows you to capture large groups of people and get close to your subjects. The optical image stabilization reduces vibrations in your images. The Level Shot Function corrects slanted images so that you always have a straight horizon in your video.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Just got it but expect a lot from it.

had expected a little more from the stabilization. Had a 13 year old panasonic NV-500 GS and that stabilization was just as good

Panasonic = good camcorders

Image quality, really beautiful 4K
5.1 audio
viewfinder
Quite big

Although beautiful 4K recordings can be made with my iPhone, I miss the optical zoom. In addition, consciously chose the version with the viewfinder; especially nicer when shooting in full sun. Picture and sound quality are superb.

Good Camcorder

Robust
Image quality
Simple operation
Insensitive Touchscreen

Where the HD Video camera first became smaller and more manageable, this Camcorder, when it comes out of the packaging, is bigger again, but does not feel uncomfortable. Large lens and is robust. To quickly get started with the camcorder, a short, simple description is included in the box. The touchscreen menu and set-up work very intuitively. After an hour of playing with the possibilities of the camera, we took the camera to the zoo. Then the excellent recording quality becomes apparent. The fast auto-focus and stability. Being in the recording screen is reported if your camcorder is not handling horizontally. Even if you turn too fast, the recording screen will indicate that you are panning too quickly and the quality may not be optimal. In the dark Oceanium of Blijdorp, the performance in low light also becomes visible. Not directly in the recording screen, but if you later play the images on the computer. In a lot of light and dark outside, it is useful to look through the diopter and to close the recording LCD screen correctly. The LCD touchscreen does not work smoothly. The sensitivity is not optimal. You sometimes have to press several times to get the action. Multiple recording settings are possible in the menu. But with the Intelligent Auto Mode you can film everything. The Camcorder quickly adapts to light and dark and focuses easily between far and very close. Although the camcorder is not intended for that, it can also be used very well as a quality camera. In the far zoomed position, the camcorder takes excellent photos. However, editing the 4K images on the computer is a different story. For the huge files you will need a good support program to be able to edit the high resolution images smoothly. My old Magix version will have to be updated. Maybe even my old laptop to have enough computing capacity while rendering the large files The sound from the standard microphone is good. The WiFi connection between the camera and your smartphone is nice. After downloading the Panasonic Image App, you can view the images from camera images and control the camcorder from your smartphone. The 32GB memory card fills up quickly. The battery, probably because of this news, lasts a long time. There are many more functions and possibilities with this camcorder. I certainly haven't tested them all yet. But have downloaded the full manual on my tablet and will read through and try out features during the upcoming vacation. In addition to being a quality camcorder, it is also a very nice toy with all functions and possibilities.
