    • Awesome
Style: 2K – V785K
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! ... show more

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. ... show more

    • Loved my camera
Style: 2K – V785K
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.

    • SD Card compatibility
Style: 2K – V785K
Review Image by irishgal
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. ... show more

    • Works great
Style: 2K – V785K
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.

    • Camera is good. 3-4 stars. Amazon Customer service - No stars or negative stars if it were possible.
Style: 2K – V785K
I don't know of another way to share how livid I am with Amazon Customer service right now. The camera purchase is great. I bought it to record a family member's memorial service in early August. It worked well. So, just so everyone knows, this one-star rating is all about Amazon customer service, not the camera. (Sorry Panasonic.) Today, Sept. 23, I finally got around to registering the camera with Panasonic. I needed to look up the price since Panasonic asked for that along with a receipt upload. In the process of doing this, I discovered the price had dropped from $562, to $512. I was curious about when it dropped. I went on Amazon customer support via chat. I only asked about WHEN the price dropped. I did not demand a price match or credit. I was never told when it dropped, but the agent came back after a few minutes and said they could arrange a $50 promotional credit and would need to hand me off to someone else to complete the credit. "Awesome!" I thought. What great customer service! Unfortunately, the next agent yanked the rug out from under me and said they could NOT arrange a credit. The "system" wouldn't let them. I argued to no avail that I was already promised a credit. I was eventually transferred to a "supervisor" who also claimed the policy would not allow for a price adjustment. The supervisor disconnected the chat before I could get a transcript, otherwise I would be able to present a more accurate presentation of what went down. Being offered a credit, and then being told that the credit wasn't possible upset me a lot. I am not sure why it was so upsetting. It's not so much about the $50. It's the feeling of being handed $50 and then having it snatched back out of your hand. So, I am venting here and wanting the world to know that I won't be buying anything else from Amazon. They lost me as a customer today... and they don't care. Nor do they care about honoring the words of an employee. Sure... I am just a drop in an ocean. Amazon currently says they are building the best "customer centric" business. If that were true, then I doubt today's interaction with customer service would have ended with me firing Amazon for future purchases. By the way, via camelcamelcamel dot com, I found out the $50 price drop happened about three weeks after my purchase. Based on experience, most local brick and mortars would have issued a credit. ... show more

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! ... show more

    • Great camera for the money
Style: 2K – V785K
I was looking for a camera that could take videos in low light, and did not switch off after 20 or 30 minutes. This camera is perfect. It creates multiple 20 minute files, but they can be combined seamlessly in most video editing software. If you keep power to the camera, it will record for 6 hours straight, if you have sufficient memory. It also can make stop action videos, take pictures while shooting, and shoot in slow motion. ... show more
