I bought this camcorder to upgrade from my GoPro Hero 3. I film my daughters volleyball games and the GoPro is great from the standpoint of not having to worry about it getting damaged from a stray ball, however the image quality isn't that great and the zoom in and out for framing is extremely limited. I was considering getting the GoPro Hero 4 Black which is 4K UHD, but after comparing some sample video I settled on the Panasonic HC-V770. The main reason for this selection come down to the low light handling and the ability to record 1080P at 60 fps with a high data rate. The ability to easily zoom in and out to properly frame the court is great. Another great feature is the ability to charge this thing from a portable USB charger while recording. This is critical for all day tournaments. It's also nice that the display can be flipped around and the hinge closed do that you can see the screen on the outside of the camera while recording yet keeping it tucked into the body so that it doesn't get broken off from a stray ball. Speaking of getting hit by a ball, the camera took several direct and indirect (the tripod) hits throughout the season and the thing still works perfectly. It's just a plastic body camera, but it is rugged to take a licking and keep on ticking...I mean recording. I filmed 52 games this year and everyone of them turned out great, even those in the poorly lit gyms. I am very happy with this camera and would buy it again in a heartbeat. Bonus Pro Tip - Use the manual settings and set the shutter speed to 1/350 (or less depending on light) and set the IRIS to wide open. This will help eliminate motion blur when filming indoor sports. Drawback - The one drawback for me was that I had to buy a wide angle lens to get the whole court in the frame when filming court side. This degrades the video image just a little by making it soft in the corners. The Panasonic HC-V770 has one of the wider angle lenses of any of the Prosumer cameras I looked at, but it just isn't wide enough. Hint, Hint Panasonic....we would love a wider angle lens to be standard on these cameras.

I purchased this camera specifically to film high school lacrosse games and use the high frame rates for slow mo highlights and game film breakdown. Once I found the full manual online(included is abbreviated) I was able to get consistently great slow motion video. Several points to make. #1 The Picture quality is fantastic at 60 FPS and using Adobe Premiere Elements I was able to slow down the 60fps to 12.5% speed and the picture still looks awesome. #2 When capturing slow mo at 120 fps, what actually happens is the camera creates a file that is twice as long as what you just filmed , shown at 60fps. So the file you download off the card is already playing at half speed. Premiere properties shows 59.95 fps . It is a little confusing, but take a ten second video, then look at what is output, it is 20 seconds long , playing at half speed. #3 The 120fps video is still at 1080p and looks fantastic. I then can slow it down even more in Premiere (Right Click-Clip-Time Stretch) and the quality is outstanding. Again I got great results stretching the clips out to 8x their original 1/2 speed duration, effectively 480 fps using Adobe Premiere, the 1080p image still looked great. #4 To get 240 fps, the camera does a post processing operation on the 120fps clip . You do this by going into the Playback Mode, then go into the menu and select the Slw Motion effect and then you are prompted to select the clip on the memory card you wish to post process. It won't let you post process a clip that was not taken in slow mo. You then get a file twice as long as the previous. It does take a reasonable amount of time for the camera to do the post processing. #5 Slo Mo mode does use memory like crazy, so expect to get a big SD card. Battery capacity(duration) decreases also, so I ordered two additional batteries right away. I can imagine having to swap batteries at half time. #6 After playing with the 120fps and generated 240fps files, I was so impressed by picture quality of 120fps slowed down using Adobe Premiere that I don't imagine using the 240fps post processing very often. I am sure I will occasionally, but for my needs as a coach, I doubt it will be necessary to get great quality highlight images. #7 There is a setting in the menu for Recording Setup --Slow Motion Setup. You can choose interval or always. If you use interval, while you are recording the camera will only start recording slow motion when you touch the screen(and keep your finger on the screen) If you use always, then while the camera is recording it will record at 120fps. I switched to always because I kept forgetting to touch the screen. Very impressed so far and happy with the purchase. It may not allow you to record a water ballon breaking or an arrow slicing through an apple, but it also doesn't cost 10k .

The Panasonic HC-V770 is a great little camera, but does have its faults. I am only mentioning the things I feel are worthy of mention for this camera, do with that as you will. Video Quality Most cameras do great in bright sunlight, but what about at night? I will say this camera does indeed perform exceptionally well in low light situations. For her maiden voyage, I took the 770 to Halloween Horror Nights. I knew this would be brutal considering the absence of light, foggy effects, and flashy neon lights that are naturally accompanied with an event such as this. I shot most of the footage in iA (Intelligent Auto Mode) and found the footage to be pretty satisfying for the price paid and the size of the camera. I do have one caveat, I noticed the camera tends to struggle for a second when it is focused on something bright (like a neon sign for instance) then moved to a dark area. This can create a sudden "chop" in the video that is subtle and lasts maybe a second until the camera can adjust itself for the darker scene. This is something just about any camera is going to struggle with and the only way to get rid of it completely is to spend $2000 + on a professional grade camera. There IS a way to help remedy this. Use HDR (High Dynamic Range Mode). This feature is best utilized when the foreground is considerably darker than the background "like somebody being recorded with their back to the sun and their face being almost blacked out because of it." This can help also help with bright - dark situations because it allows the camera to expose the background a bit more and also slows sensor adjustments making the transition a bit smoother. However there is a downside to this, The quality of the image will not be quite as good as if you were to shoot in iA. For me the difference in video quality was negligible though and worth the very slight "and i mean very slight" degradation in video quality. Sound Quality So far, I am impressed with the built-in microphone this camera has, it is able to pick up the tiniest of details and make them audible in the videos it produces. The mic was also thoroughly tested at HHN. All sorts of shenanigans going on at once, it was fantastic being able to pick up some of the smaller noises that you wouldn't think would show up in the video. Chainsaws, the snarls and sneers of scare actors, and guest chatter were blended beautifully with the camera's 5.1 surround sound. Would the sound be better with a dedicated shotgun mic or other variant? Probably, just about any camera is better with a dedicated mic. But I am talking about what’s included with the unit, and for its size, this thing does great. Camera and UI (User Interface) I bought this camera for $550, which is pretty much the cheapest price for any camera in its class. After a lot of tinkering and testing, I concur with the other "more qualified" reviewers. This camera's hardware far outshines it's software, and I mean by a mile. The camera's body does not feel quite as robust as some of the other big brands. Neither does the UI. In fact, the User Interface feels mildly retarded in my opinion, mostly due to the fact that it just looks and feels obsolete/dated. The touchscreen is a not a "class leader" either. But once again, $550 vs. $800+ for another brand comparable with the ability of this one. I feel something worthy of mention is that the zoom rocker on my camera has developed a slight "clicky" sound that is sometimes audible in videos. This annoys the absolute dickens out of me and I am considering asking for a replacement before the time runs out in which I have the option to do so. Also, the WiFi camera option is crap, WAY too much lag for it to be a usable feature in my opinion. I can't believe Panasonic has fueled this awesome little camera's campaign on a gimmick. Bottom Line. All things considered, this camera is well worth the money and is light years ahead of any smartphone in terms of quality or capability. Trying to consider the camera of a smartphone to a dedicated camera is asinine in my humble opinion.

This camera is as easy to use as you want it to be. The intelligent Auto settings are great for novices, as it figures out the exposure and everything for you. It even has an auto-flashlight that will turn on via a sensor, so you can move from a lit area to a darker room with a seamless transition. As with most of my purchases, this was for recording videos of my son. My only gripe is that recording as MP4 files only allows for a stereo audio. You have to use the AVCHD mode to get 5.1 audio. If you really want to get deep in the settings, there are multiple options that are adjustable in manual mode. There are also semi-automatic type modes, called "scenes", which allow you to work with some presets like low-light, dynamic, etc. There are also modes for creating stop motion movies and slow motion filming for action shots. The dual camera mode is a bit gimmicky, but it works. Basically you can link this camera to your iPhone or Android and take simultaneous video to capture multiple angles. There is also a Baby Camera mode, but I don't think I would use it too often. As it runs off of Wi-Fi, it would go through the battery much quicker. At that point, you need to keep the AC plugged in, but Wi-Fi usage, Video Capture, and AC Charging are all things that raise the temperature of the camera. While I assume it should be fine since it is a feature included out-of-the-box, I am just a bit worried about the item overheating. As such, I have only used it once so far. My favorite feature, however, is probably its simplest one: the ability to take photos while filming. There are 2 separate buttons for video recording and pictures. While filming, you can just tap the photo button to take a picture. Of course, being in the actual picture mode allows you to adjust another plethora of options, but I'm no professional, so the photo quality during video mode is sufficient. Lastly, it's great that everything you need is included in the box. Most products force you to buy HDMI cables separately, so I was glad that it was included for connecting to the TV. The shoe adapter is also in the box for those that want to attach external mics. The geeky side of me would have liked to have gotten the 4K versions (HC-VX870K or HC-WX970) that have the infrared night vision, but honestly this camera is more than sufficient.

We purchased this (used) for live-streaming our church services and it has met every expectation. The delivery was on time and it arrived with hardly and scratches (as if someone had it for a day or two and decided to sell it). I have also recommended this exact model to other churches and church groups, and they feel the same way. When using the battery life is good, it can make it through a 2-hour special service, however, most of the time we used the adapter. It is very lightweight and portable. It picks up sound very good through the onboard mic, however, we have it plugged into our board to capture the microphones. The quality of the picture when recording or taking a still shoot is great. We have connected ours directly to a video capture card and then into the system. There is a model about this one, however, this one serves our needs and will complement out PTZ. There was an issue last year where us wouldn’t come on, however, after researching the brand, found out it’s the one flaw we could live with.

I purchased this HC-V770 at 2016. It is still running great. Video: It is at low ambient light that this camcorder shines. I can have a crystal clear video shot on the performers at the last row of the stage from the last row of a music hall. The manual functionality is fantastic. When auto zoom from afar has difficulty to focus on my kid with a large group of students performing on a stage, the manual functionality can do the focus every time. It will need to go through the user manual though to get used to the manual operation though. Audio: The recorded audio is Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound, a rarity in consumer grade camcorder. You would need a headphone of 5.1 channel or above to enjoy the full audio effect. The battery: A caveat: it still drain small amount of battery when the camcorder is turned off. I take off the battery when not using the camcorder. After so many years, the battery still runs great. I/O: It has plenty of ports to hook up with other devices like PC and TV. There is no problem in transferring contents or viewing them on another screen. The WiFi functionality: It is a gimmick. Good luck with that. This is a fantastic camcorder. Its video capability and audio quality far exceeds the highest end of mobile phones currently on the market. My recommendation is: if you can, go and get it.

We got this camera because it was highly regarded among reviews as a "streaming camera". However, this camera would not handshake with two different HDMI capture devices. (Tried "HD Video Capture" (silver box, Magewell knock-off, about $120), and MiraBox HD, also about $120) Both of these capture devices work fine with a Canon Vixia HF-R800, (HDMI output got flaky on that one, so we decided to upgrade), Nikon D5300 DSLR (This one is not a long term solution because it turns itself off every 10 minutes, even when connected to AC power) and Sony HDRCX675 (although this camera's HDMI output is ultra grainy). We did hook the V770 directly up to a couple monitors, and the HDMI output did connect, and the video looked great. Unfortunately, the high-end capture devices are hard to come by during COVID19, so we couldn't try one of the "real" HDMI capture boxes... but since the two capture boxes we have work fine with multiple other cameras, we are faulting the camera for not handshaking with capture devices. I did try setting HDMI output to Audio, 1080p, 1080i, and even 480p. The speaker indicator on the camera's LCD would flash, and the menu would become unresponsive until the HDMI was unplugged. So I don't know if it is a copy protection issue (with a camcorder???) or a firmware issue. Speaking of firmware, I did look and none is available for this camera. The camera does offer streaming... if you use their proprietary streaming platform. Way too needlessly over-complicated when all I need to do is get a video stream into OBS. Returned.

I use this recorder to capture my daughters softball games and practices, so I can edit and upload for recruiting. This unit has very good image quality, stabilization is solid from a layman's perspective, and it can even snap a photo in the middle to taking video. The zoom on this camera seems to be excellent, I can take solid video of my daughter in the outfield from behind home plate! The dual capture linking a phone to get a PIP video has lag problems. For example, I desire to capture a video showing a 3 o'clock view from the camcorder and a 6 o'clock view from my phone. The lag in this case makes the resulting video completely useless because it's off by seconds and the camera records the video as one. I do believe I may buy another and use a Blackmagic ATEM mini to connect 2 cameras and record side-by-side video to my computer. Overall I like the battery life, image quality, zoom and ease of use. The menu access is weak to almost bad, but as a true amateur I don't spend a lot of time messing with features, so it's pretty good for point shoot, and go.
