Panasonic HC-X900M

Looking for fancy new upgrades? Panasonic's latest flagship model is likely to disappoint.

Incredibly sharp video using 1080/60p mode; 3D recording with optional conversion lens

Few updates over its predecessor; Larger body and worse grip than previous Panasonics

Panasonic sure knows how to make a solid flagship camcorder with appeal to consumers and semi-pros alike, and, by all means, the new HC-X900M is exactly that—an excellent high-end camcorder. Unfortunately, the product still left us dissatisfied thanks...

Best HD Camcorder I\'ve own so far...

Love this camera, image quality is excellent, specially shooting in 1080\/60p It feels good in your hand, it\'s a little bigger and havier than the TM700. And I love the wider angle lens.

Easy to Use","Good Image Stabilization","Good in Low Light","Great Picture Quality","Great Sound","Large Clear LCD","Zoom range\/performance

Excellent Camera

An excellent camcorder. Next step up would be to spend $2K on a semi-professional camera which was not in the budget. If you are looking to get the same results of a professional videotaping this would be an ideal choice. I've not spent too much time...

my 900 series camcorder failed in less than 9 months of VERY LIGHT usage (we have filmed probably less than 100 episodes). That is not counting few times the camera corrupted its storage and I had to Re-format the SD drive. (thanks I had a copy of...
