Took me a little while to choose this camcorder but glad I did, so far it’s been great.
The good points is that it’s really light, almost dropped it a few times as I forgot it was in my hands, it’s also very small, it can literally fit in most pockets. Easy to use menu, it’s not a touch screen like some other Panasonic models but I always find this fiddly anyway as the screen is only ever big enough to press with the side of your finger.
The quality of the video and audio is good, I haven’t played with different formats but it does keep up well and focus pretty good. It holds up to a 64GB SD card and you’ll get about 12 hours of footage on that, using at a normal temperature and function, like continuous use, not pressing lots of buttons. I can use it with a power bank for continuous use, which is ideal, nothing worse than running out of batteries.
The downsides are like I say, the battery life being short, you get about 1 hour with the battery provided but this is quite normal for most camcorders, the additional batteries are quite cheap to buy though. There is also no MIC jack so you can’t enhance the audio with an attachment but the audio is quite good.
Great little piece of equipment for the price.
