  • Great video features... but if you are recording rock concerts (loud sound), the audio is disappointing/challenging (read on)
Based on the video features, I would give this a 5 star rating. It does everything I need it to as well as, or better than my prior Panasonic camcorder that this was bought to replace (a Panasonic SD90 that I LOVED LOVED LOVED). The audio on this one, however, would get a 3 star from me so far. It seems many camcorders just cannot handle very loud concert sound, however, the SD90 and created pretty much mint sound at every concert I used it at without my having to do anything special to get it. The few times I got bad sound was because the venue sound itself was bad and the recording just replicated the issues. Anyway, my SD90 experiences set up my expectations and I purposely chose the Panasonic V770 over other models because it supposedly had and upgraded sound/mic setup compared to the models in this zone of camcorders. Luckily, I also chose this because it has a mic input based on the concept that "if the sound is not great, at least I can try other mics". In any event, for shooting normal events like family events, sporting events, etc... the built in mic turns out fine. For concerts of reasonable volume this records OK but you are running the risk that any loud sound may distort and ruin your audio. Just by luck the first concert I recorded came out ok. The next one ended up completely unusable. The third concert, I was scared so I brought my SD90 along (the video and LCD screens are broken now, but it will still record so I used it as an audio backup just in case)... I still got garbage distortion on the V770 for early songs but the SD90 saved me. I eventually found that using the manual gain level setting with AGC off was what I needed and with the settings quite low actually like -21 or -24... something in that area. Comparing the two audio sources between the SD90 and V770, the audio was noticeably better and clearer for all instruments from the SD90, imo. I was also a little surprised to see that the wave forms off the two devices looked completely different... I could not at all match up based on similar peaks and valleys... so they definitely process audio very differently. Anyway, I am now going to get a Zoom H1 audio recorder to be my audio backup so that I do not have to try to fumble with two video cameras (which really only worked because I was a concert where I had a table to sit at). So... bottom line, I find the audio very disappointing, especially when compared to the earlier Panasonic model that really did it well. Honestly, my Panasonic SD90 seems to be a rarity in that the audio was REALLY REALLY good without any need for adjustments. I am not confident that there are many other camcorders out there that could do better than that one and there may not even be any currently that even can do as well as the V770 does given all the options it does provide. BUT... one thing I will say for sure... Panasonic should be far more helpful on how to use their camcorder relative to capturing the best audio in various environments, especially because this model is geared for people who are more likely to lack that knowledge. Some manufacturer guidance (I tried to look all this up in the manual regarding recommendations, etc) it could have saved me from creating an entire concert recording of unusable sound which meant the entire shoot had to be scrapped. Granted, I could and should have done deeper testing and set up which is one of the reasons for me putting this review in to warn people to do that. My experience with the SD90 and the successful recording of the first concert I did on the V770 gave me a false sense of security that this would work without the problems I eventually ran into at louder concerts. So, I am not saying this is not a very good camcorder option of all the ones out there, but if you are recording concerts... be prepared that you will have to do some additional work and testing and/or may want to get additional gear. Of course the best option of all when a camcorder can just do it all and give great sound and video up front. Having to synch external audio to recorded video is a pain that adds time to the post-processing! ... show more

  • The Panasonic HC-V770 is a great little camera, but does have its faults.
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. ... show more
