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.

A powerhouse HD Panasonic with a shockingly-low price tag, the V700 is our Best Mid Range Camcorder for 2012.

The Panasonic HC-V700M tops the list of bang-for-buck models.

Panasonic HC-V700 review

 

In a world of advanced smartphones, is there a reason to buy a £500 camcorder?

Massive zoom ; Excellent motion ; Great image stabilisation ; Useful iA auto mode

Pricey ; Image quality can be quite weak ; Manual controls restricted to touchscreen

The relentless march of technology inside smartphone cameras means that dedicated camcorders have started to seem less and less necessary as time goes on.

Panasonic HC-V700

 

The Panasonic HC-V700 is a flash memory camcorder that takes SD memory cards. It weighs 270 grams, and features Panasonic's High Sensitivity 1/2.33-inch CMOS sensor that Panasonic claims to perform well in all situations, a 28mm wide angle lens, 46x...

Overall the Panasonic HC-V700 is an impressive camcorder that stands up even to some of Panasonic's pricer camcorders. Performance across all conditions is very impressive and of high quality. 3D shooting doesn’t quite come out of the box, but what is...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great value

 

I bought 2 of these for interviewing experts for Internet videos. I set them up on 2 tripods, select maximum aperture, adjust the focus - handy blue focus indicator - to blur the background and away I go. The wide angle lens means I can shoot in a...

Wide aperture lens - f1.8 Wide angle lens - 28mm (35mm equivalent) Decent bokeh if you use manual option Sharp video - full 1080/60p Great stabilization 46x optical zoom really works Audio input Room for larger batteries HDMI output SDXC cards to 64GB...

No control ring - must use touchscreen for manual adjustments - no good for "run & gun" shooting Very low light performance - gets noisy No viewfinder, though I don't care. Mac AVCHD workflow more time consuming than it should be.
