Good for Conventions, Events, Weddings
I bought this form Adorama as a second camera to my Sony FX7. I have found that in good lighting the picture quality is very very close to the FX7. The zoom is great 23X, Image Stabilization is great, the manusl controls are easy to access and give you plenty of control, and battery lasts forever. I put a shotgun mike on it and the sound is good, no XLR's, but a beachtec adapter solves that. Low light is not bad, but I shoot those scenes with my Flashpoint led on-camera light so everythin...

The Panasonic AG-AC7 Shoulder-Mount AVCHD is Full HD camera that enables a truly professional style of operation. Professional projects require stable operation over long periods of time and manual control over the picture, with smooth adjustments. The AC7's shoulder-mount design, its relatively low power draw from the included long-life battery and selectable-bit-rate AVCHD recording to high-capacity SD/SDHC/SDXC cards all serve to facilitate long days of shooting events, weddings, news and anything else that requires you to be on the move, ready to shoot, camera on shoulder.
It's also perfect for houses of worship and educational institutions that teach manual settings and a professional style of camera operation. For ease in completing both SD and HD projects, the AG-AC7 camera features AVCHD recording at 1920 x 1080 and 720 x 480, both at 60i. The built-in 16.7x (optical) / 23x (Intelligent) zoom lens starts out nice and wide at 35.8mm (35mm equivalent), so indoor shooting does not become a challenge to see how deeply into the corner you can smash yourself.
With a large grip and zoom lever and a large, easy-to-hold manual focus ring, you've got accessible, precise controls and a zebra pattern assists you in setting exposure. In addition to extensive manual controls, there's also Intelligent Auto (IA) and Hybrid optical image stabilization, providing the high-tech help you need to ensure smooth, reliably crisp & clear capture of Full HD video.
