After two years of heavy use this camera continues to perform. I have three shows on Amazon Prime that I filmed with this camcorder.

TV Quality Video

Form factor is fantastic!  Feels really nice in the hand, nice zoom range, rotating grip feels great and allows for easy battery replacement while on a tripod at various heights. Tilting screen allows easy viewing for low and high shots. Not much to complain about at this price!  Sure, constant 2.8 would be nice, but the lens would be huge. Perfect as B or C cam...set it up and forget about it since there’s no recording time limit other than the size of card you have. Still a great camcorder for 2019!

Best 4K camera for the price!

I have been a professional photographer for 30 years. About four years ago I started producing short product promo videos for my beauty product clients, using a Canon 6D. Eventually I was asked to film celebrity hair stylists on stage, and finally some commercials. Well folks the Canon 6D has a full-sensor which is great, but that's the only positive. Manual focus, no headphone jack, and no stabilization makes that camera a dinosaur for video use.

I'd planned on buying a Canon C100 as a full-time video camera. But I did a ton of comparisons and the cheap little XC-10/15 had more useful features - like stabilization, built-in lens, and most importantly 1080 @ 60P and 4K @ 30p.

I use the XC10 to film Jeeps as they go out on super-hard off-road trails. Our YouTube channel has 11,000 subscribers:

The fact that the lens is permanently attached PREVENTS DUST from getting all over the sensor, the 3 levels of stabilization is priceless, built-in ND filter, and autofocus (which isn't great but works fine outdoors).

Overall very pleased with this camcorder, with a star taken away for it's mediocre autofocus. Also - the CFast card reader sent to me in this package did not work with CFast cards. But the package was a good value and I appreciated the extra stuff.

Compact with Professional-level features

I am very impressed with this video camera. I have just started using it and so far am very happy with the footage. The camera feels solid and for the price is an excellent value.

Great entry into 4K video

The order came in a timely manner and the product was excellent.

Good basic features. The on/off feature is slow and the zoom ring is not smooth at all. But if you're shooting fast action outdoors you won't notice it because of the image stabilization. Good price for a decent 4k camera
