Great video Camera
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 ...

With the Panasonic HC-X1500 4K Professional Camcorder, you can elevate your videography to new heights. This compact, lightweight, and high-performance camcorder is designed for the professional videographer on the move, offering superior 4K 60p video quality. It boasts a wide-angle 25mm LEICA Dicomar lens and a remarkable 32x i.ZOOM for 4K recording, ensuring every detail is captured, whether close-up or from a distance.
The advanced 24x optical zoom lens ranges from 25mm wide-angle to 600mm telephoto, supported by a 4-Drive Lens System that independently controls four lens groups. This unique system not only provides an impressive zoom range but also maintains a compact body size. The lens meets Leica Camera AG's stringent standards for resolution and contrast, effectively reducing flaring and ghosting to deliver stunningly beautiful images.
The HC-X1500 is equipped with dual Manual Rings, providing tactile control over focusing and zoom or iris operation. It also features ND Filters with choices of 1/4, 1/16, 1/64, and Clear, designed with glass elements to prevent damage from sunlight condensation. Panasonic's exclusive high-precision AF system offers superior focusing speed and stability in both 4K and Full-HD shooting. The Face Detection AF/AE ensures accurate focusing and exposure for your subjects, while color recognition and a touch-enabled LCD panel make subject tracking effortless and precise.
The 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) combined with Electronic Image Stabilization detects and corrects handshake across five axes, including rotational blurring. This robust correction is invaluable in unstable shooting conditions and ensures smooth, stable footage even when fully zoomed in. Despite its compact size, the HC-X1500 features a heat-dispersing design with a newly developed thin fan, making it the industry's smallest and lightest camcorder with an integrated lens capable of 4K 60p recording.
The camcorder's Venus Engine, leveraging LUMIX technology, enables 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording with crisp UHD resolution up to 29.97p and FHD up to 59.94p. For external recording, the camcorder provides 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output. It also supports the new, highly efficient HEVC codec for high bit rate recording at 59.94p.
Expand your creative expression with Super Slow-motion Recording in FHD mode at 120 fps (for 59.94 Hz) or 100 fps (for 50 Hz), with 10-bit quality and full-frame images without cropping. Autofocus remains available during slow-motion capture, ensuring sharp, detailed results.
The HC-X1500 is designed with professional functionality in mind. A built-in LED video light on the handle offers adjustable brightness, while the 3.5-inch monitor boasts 2,760K-dots of resolution for clear visibility even in bright conditions. The electrostatic touch panel enhances menu navigation, and the simultaneous output of the 1,555K-dot tiltable viewfinder and LCD monitor improves workflow efficiency.
Focus Assist functions, including Expand, Peaking, and One-push AF, support precise manual focusing. The camcorder's battery design allows for approximately 4.5 hours of continuous operation without protrusion. Dual SD Card Slots provide options for Unlimited Relay Recording, Simultaneous Recording, or Background Recording to suit your workflow needs.
For audio excellence, the HC-X1500 offers 48-kHz/24-bit High Resolution Linear PCM Audio Recording with a +48V Phantom Power Supply/MIC/LINE Selectable XLR Audio Input for each of the two channels. It also supports 16-bit AAC (MP4) or Dolby Audio system (AVCHD) for high-quality 2-channel audio recording.
Built-in Wi-Fi functionality eliminates the need for separate modules, enabling seamless wireless connectivity. The HC ROP tablet application allows for wireless remote control of camera settings and lens control. RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS-Compatible HD Streaming facilitates direct live streaming to platforms like Facebook and YouTube for events, sports, and news coverage.
For added versatility, the optional Handle Unit (VW-HU1) is available, featuring a 2-channel XLR Audio Input, audio controls, and an LED light. The zoom lever on the Handle Unit allows for consistent zoom speed control, adjustable through the menu.
The Panasonic HC-X1500 4K Professional Camcorder is the ideal choice for professionals seeking advanced features, high-quality recording, and versatile modes in a compact and durable design. This bundle also includes a 3-Section Aluminum Video Tripod, a 64GB Memory Card, and a 62mm Filter Kit, providing you with all the tools you need for professional video production.
