Decent in low light, and it's nice to have 4K to have cropping options for 1080p final project.

The camera is amazing and the premium accessory bundle is well worth it. Only issue I had was some items in the accessory bundle were on back order and I was not made aware of this until the items was purchased.

Excellent quality. Incredible zoom and multi-camera integration. Tons of features for the price.

I love, love, love this camcorder. I have been shooting video for several years using a couple of Panasonic point and shoots. I needed to upgrade to 4K since I record a lot of live events and find zooming and panning to be troublesome. I can now shoot a whole stage and then pan and zoom during post-processing. The stabilization at 1080p is absolutely amazing, even at full zoom! At 4K, the stabilization isn't quite as refined, but I have gotten stable video of objects 1/2 mile away at full zoom hand-held! Having a 1/2.5" sensor, I was worried about low light capabilities, but it works much better than I expected and better than my point&shoots. It is very quick to focus and very quick to start up, so it's a great camera for run and gun applications. So far, the sound quality is very good. It doesn't appear to have the overheating issues at 4K that smaller cameras have. I highly recommend it!

I have to say i disagree with ricky's review. A friend of mine has this cam and it show BEAUTIFUL footage! It may have a smaller sensor but maybe you should read before you buy. Anyhow, what kind of sd card were you using? If you used a sdxc you should have been in good shape. But i think you may have used a low grade sd card which can cause the footage you described. By far this is not the worse cam, but a very good one!

I will NEVER EVER recommend this product. Smaller Sensor, Micro HDMI, I was expecting a 1" sensor size on this camcorder for 2018. Panasonic is going backward with its camcorder line.
