Almost Totally Perfecr Package
Everything arrived safely and in excellent condition so the packaging for shipping was more than sufficient.
Fast delivery as well, except for one backorder item I'm still waiting for 3 weeks later.
The camera and microphone are beyond exceptional and deliver professional grade sight and sound as advertised. The 4K is amazing and when dumbed down to 1080p using good software makes the best 16:9 instructional videos we've produced to date. Looking forward to trying transmitting our material remotely with 4K livestreaming into 4K televisions for some of our distance learners.
I do wish a power source were added for the lighting. If it were, this kit would be beyond compare at this price.

It's great if you have adequate lighting
I bought this with the hopes that it might work for shooting weddings. I currently use the Sony A6600 and the A6400. Both of these cameras are great budget options for shooting weddings. I use a variety of lenses, but mainly the Sony 18-105mm f4 and the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8, and a few primes for when things are really dark. But honestly, I hate having to swap lenses, and it is annoying to have to remember to pull the ND filter off the front of my lens when I move indoors. And this happens multiple times during a wedding day. Also I have to put one of my cameras on a gimbal most of the time because any moving shots are terrible on my Sony cameras, even the A6600 with IBIS. These are some of the things I really like about the Panasonic x1500 - the built in ND filters, built-in stabilization, integrated lens, all of the custom buttons are great. I also bought the detachable xlr handle so I can get mics plugged in with the ability to adjust my levels with a dials. It also has a built-in light on the handle. Great innovation, but it is only 5600k in color. I wish it was bi-color. I love having dual card slots too. This is one of the things that is lacking on my Sony cameras. That piece of mind means alot to me. It also has a variety of video codecs and can even shoot 4k/60 at 10-bit 4:2:2. But here?s where things start to fall apart: when you shoot wide, the lens is f1.8, but zoom in just a little and you quickly move down to f4 and with only a ½ inch sensor, your image goes to crap indoors. And the LCD monitor will fool you. It is one of the best lcd monitors I have ever used. Everything is bright and crisp, but so much so that it makes your grainy footage look clear. This thing is not just bad in low light, it is bad in decent light. For a wedding I want more and I also want to have a bit more of a shallow depth of field as well. I?m not sure why Panasonic didn?t put a 1 inch sensor in this camera?actually for that matter why not a micro 4/3 sensor? You put one in the DVX200 and even one of your pocket cameras. I can?t understand that. And here?s the last issue, if you want to have the best focus, the camera has to be shooting in full Auto. Anyway my youtube channel has some samples of all things I mentioned. Just type in Michael Turner Camera into the search or check out this specific x1500 review https://youtu.be/HTvsdaRHqpE. If you want this camera for outdoor events where the lighting is good, I think you?ll be very happy with it. If you are indoors and the lighting is exceptionally good, you will be happy with it. Otherwise, if you don?t mind a little grain to your footage and some mushy looking shots, you might also be happy with it. It?s all subjective at the end of the day.
