Panasonic HC-X800

 

The Panasonic HC-X800 shoots great video, but it loses a lot of the features that made the X900 so brilliant.

Excellent image quality ; Great optical image stabilisation ; Lots of manual settings

Manual controls only available from menus ; Loses enthusiast features of X900

Best Buy!

Panasonic HC-X800 review

 

Panasonic's HC-X800 bridges the gap between the lower-specification single-sensor Panasonic HC-V500 and higher-end models such as the brilliant three-sensor Panasonic HC-X900, and is the update for the HDC-SD800, our favourite camcorder of last year....

A great-value alternative to the HC-X900 if you don't need a viewfinder or mic input

I think this is great camera but I had to return it because it did not come with Remote control and screen resolution was so poor. I was expecting a better screen resolution for this high end camera, but anyways that does not affect the final video...

Excellent Video Camera. quick few points about this camera. I personally went for this one over the x900 as if you really think about it how often will you connect external mics or use the manual focus ring? I just want to grab the camera and shoot in...
