So far I having only used this camera a for a couple short videos, I will say the quality of the videos is very good. I also enjoyed testing out both the twin camera linked to my smartphone and the multi camera modes. To me compared to an old 1080p Sony I have, the quality is much better and feels a lot smoother. The body doesn't feel quite as rugged as the Sony I have put the as close to professional as you are going to get with the features built in more than make up for it.

I don't know yet but the packaging is completely crushed and destroyed. If the camera has issues from this I will be returning it. Looks like they tried to stomp it out and tossed it on my stairs

Excellent product, but an even better buying experience. I have purchased from Adorama for many years, from every version of film through digital and other technologies. Never disappointed...inventory, competitive pricing, but above all, helpful, knowledgeable staff.

This is a great camera so far. Took great videos of my grandkids birthday party. Tomorrow I will be videoing my son racing his BMW. Really looking forward to see what this camera can do under those circumstances... bright sun, fast motion and lots of noise.

I have been using Panasonic eqpt for nearly 40 years. The image of these 4k camcorders (I bought 2) is exactly what i was looking for. A small camera that can be setup on a tripod, pointed at a stage and no one has to touch it. Then go into post and pan and zoom in a few hundred percent on an HD timeline and still have a finished 1920x1080 output that looks good. One caveat, you can't shoot with the primary camera in 4k while using the 2nd camera unless you want picture in picture that you can't undo. To get 2 separate streams of video, you have to use a lower quality setting on the primary camera.

I like the ease of use and it has a great picture. Works very well in low light which is mostly what I have been doing since I got it. I didn't particularly buy it for that feature but I have been able to get very good picture without setting up lighting in all my testing of my setup. I just started using lighting and the picture is even better but I have to say I was very impressed with the lowlight capabilities. Very Happy with this camcorder.

Camera is OK, not so great in lowlight. Would like to try all it's functions but can't download the detailed manual or get into chat. Haven't tried 4K yet.

This camera is so good I bought another one two weeks after I bought the first camera. The instruction book can be read in under 30 minutes which gets you off and shooting fast. I will tell you that the 64gb sdhc card that came with it works great but fills up fast. My second order also included four high compacity batteries with a dual charger plus four 128gb cards. Now I am ready to get all the shots and supplement with a couple GoPro's. I would recommend this video camera with its Carl Zeiss glass to anyone.
