Really can't beat the features for the price!!

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.

Delivery destroyed the box

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

Product, price and support

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.

Buy it!

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.

Did its job good enough for clients to be happy and thats all that really matters

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.

Great picture and sound

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.

No support website

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.

Great Results

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.

The Panasonic WXF991 is the pinnacle of hand-held 4K video capture, featuring several in-camera cinema creative and editing solutions that can enable anyone to capture and produce like a pro. For those without 4K display options, the WXF991 offers in-camera downsampling to 1080p Full HD displays. Enjoy multi-camera scene picture-in-picture recording via a second built-in camera, or add a WiFi link to a mobile device camera to increase creative possibilities.

• Ultra-sharp 4K Ultra HD recording, plus in-camera editing for 1080p displays.
• Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) emulates a semi-professional recording experience.
• LEICA Dicomar Lens optical 20x zoom, 5-axis Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization.
• Built-in Twin Camera, plus WiFi mobile features add multi-camera scene picture-in-picture recording.
• 4K Cinema in-camera editing and effects (Dolly Zoom, Slow/Quick motion, 4K Post Cropping, Stabilization and Zoom).
• 4K PHOTO captures high-quality photos from 4K video frames.
• Exclusive High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode reduces the overly high-contrast look created by overexposed and underexposed shooting conditions.

4K Post Editing
Smooth zooming: Easily zoom-in on subjects without changing camera angle.
Easy tracking: Automatically keep the subject inside the cropped area.
Exact panning: Pan any scene by selecting the start and end points.
Convenient stabilizer: Auto adjust compensates for image shaking.

Enjoy 4x the resolution of Full-HD 1080p by recording in 4K. Even pause and extract exact moments from 4K video frames for still images with 4K PHOTO mode.

Cinema Like Effects
Combine Slow & Quick Video* scenes for a pro-like effect
Dolly Zoom* the background while maintaining the main subject's size.
Controlled slow zooming for a dramatic touch
Smooth Slow Motion Video* turns the ordinary into a work of art.
* Available only with MP4 1080/28M format.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) Movie
By combining two images taken with different exposures, blown highlights and blocked shadows are eliminated. A dedicated HDR button enables quick mode changes.

High-Quality Core Technologies
The remarkable LEICA Dicomar lens produces the subtle nuances and shading LEICA lenses are renowned for. An advanced BSI Sensor supported by a 4K Crystal Engine suppresses distortion to consistently give an accurate rendering of the scene.

Tiltable Viewfinder
A convenient Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) improves viewing in bright daylight, while a slide and tilt mechanism provides increased flexibility for more comfortable recording.

Picture-in-Picture Recording
A built-in Twin Camera adds two angle picture-in-picture recording. Plus with WIFI Multi Camera, you can link video from up to three smartphones for additional picture-in-picture visuals.
