Panasonic HC-V700

 

The Panasonic HC-V700 ($549.95 list) is one of the few consumer camcorders that can record full 1080p60 video, and it adds solid image stabilization and a versatile 21x optical zoom. It lacks Wi-Fi and some of the other the bells and whistles found in...

Excellent video quality. Solid image stabilization. Sharp LCD

Occasionally inaccurate white balance. No Wi-Fi

The Panasonic HC-V700 lacks some of the useful Wi-Fi features found on competing consumer camcorders, but excellent video quality in a variety of lighting scenarios more than makes up for it.

High quality video

 

Camera is lightweight, easy to store in a purse or pocket. Very user friendly. Although it has an image stablization feature, I find that because of its small size, I have difficulty operating controls without moving the camera. Picture and video...

Panasonic HC-V700 - great performance, great value

 

I'm not a video pro, or a hobbyist for that matter. I was looking for a decent video camera at a good price to record my daughter's high school band performances. I figured the camera for this purpose would have to record well @ night in a lighted...

Excellent video with fair sound

 

First off, I must say this camera's large sensor and full 1080p recording are not understated. This is the same sensor as cameras twice as expensive in the panasonic line, and the quality is superb. Overall I am very happy with this camera, but I will...

Panasonic's Quality Shows

 

Did all the research, went to Best Buy to check the competition and read all the on-line reviews. Decided to give the Panasonick HCV700K a try. After a nice price drop on Amazon, pulled the plug. Delivered in just a few days, it was packed very well....

Love the camera, great seller. Thank you!

 

The camera is amazing, I have only used it 3 times to film lacrosse practices, but I am in love with the HD quality. This camera is great for outdoor sports.

Good camera Horrible customer service

 

Purchased this camera in June worked great for 2 months. This camera did shoot very nice video that was easy to get off the camera and edit with the included software. It did feel a bit cheaper than my old Panasonic mini-dv camera and I guess it was....

Good product for the price!!!

 

I use this camera for a multi-camera production, together with the 800 version from panasonic and the difference in the color quality is noticeable, given the lack of the 3MOS sensor in the 700 series. Said difference is especially noticeable when...

Consumer review by:

Great, except be careful -- can *only* shoot in 60p

 

This camcorder appears to be a great performer, except that you cannot shoot HD in anything less than 60p. Yes, you can convert the footage to 30p or less, but we all know that this prevents you from employing the "180 degree shutter" rule to get...
