  1. Trump2020

    The 1st camera battery would not hold a charge. I. I took it back to Best Buy and they ordered me a new camera without any problem.

  2. Kop1375

    At first seemed great, all of a sudden it stopped working after just a hand full of times used. Trying to get serviced has been painfully unsuccessful so far. Best buy say talk to Panasonic, Panasonic says go yto best buy or take it to a local licensed Panasonic repair store, there are none in Washington!

  3. Rachel

    I’ve had this camcordrt since last sept and have been using it a lot. Ive been using the camcorder for my sons football games and my daughter kajukenbo events. Its been pretty awesome so far and I have no complaints. I don’t have mivh experience with camcorderd but this has been pretty easy for me to use.

  4. Trik

    Ok product. I do not find picture and sound quality that great for the data storage requirements.

  5. Weebo

    excellent for the price to performance ratio. i have a s21 ultra that i got just incase i see a ufo but it sucks zooming at night time and this when you put in manual mode with night vison enabled works excellent but past 44 times zoom tends to get degraded at night and also use a IR flash light to get the best of it at night time. after having it for some time and getting it for 600$ open box was a mega deal!

  6. bwanakubwa

    Works Great! Does what we wanted it to do. It was the only camcorder they had in stock that day. Empty Shelves!

  7. Hunter

    I needed a camcorder for various small video projects, including podcasting, and this camera works excellently!

  8. Fred

    Recording in 4K mode, this camera will error after recording more than 9 min using a 512 GB SD card (or higher I’m assuming).

    “ERROR OCCURRED, PLEASE TURN UNIT OFF, THEN TURN ON AGAIN”. Upon restart “Repairing Data…Finished”, then recorded file broken “CANNOT PLAY THIS SCENE ON THIS MODEL”.

    Tried using both a formatted legit SanDisk Extreme Pro 512 GB and SanDisk Extreme 512 GB with same issue. No issues experienced with a SanDisk Extreme Plus 128 GB card, other than running out of memory mid video. Very disappointing that a 4K camcorder putting out 4-10 GB per video, doesn’t support higher storge cards.

    Now I have to spend $60 on video recovery software to salvage my video.

  9. Anw125

    Have had no problems with this camcorder. Use it to capture our little ones first moments so far and love it!

  10. CadillacCTS15

    Takes amazing video and still photos, very compact and easy to work with

  11. Deans

    Good camera clear picture. Just wish it had 2 usb c outlets to use with a hipod

  12. ParceMexicano

    worse than similar Sony and Canon (Best). It needs a lot of light.

  13. Newprinter

    Love this camcorder! A great value for the price. Very convenient to carry.

  14. Yemi

    High quality camera. Durable battery, sharp images, portable camera, easy to operate, and value for the price.

  15. WhosYourChubby

    Very good video and does not overheat like some do. Wish it took 256Gig SD cards though, it only take up to a 64 Gig.

  16. BONO1

    I love the filming quality, the zoom is amazing but the lcd screen is painfully small.

  17. Karan

    A great sturdy camcorder with a nice picture quality , easy to operate and a nice compatibility with android and iphones.

  18. Celso

    The video quality and pictures are very good. They are clear and vibrant. The zoom in is also crisp clear.

  19. DerekSNJ

    Working great we have two of these for live stream at church. Much better than the older cam we had. The picture quality is great on this cam.

  20. Unknown

    Compact and does the work. The quality of the product is great. I

  21. Luisito

    I like this Camara it very nice i using for my vacation

  22. JHTilmon

    I use this one for a live broadcast. It works well and does what we want but we have not used it for a camcorder.

  23. RedHotMom

    I bought this to record a recital. Never having used one before, it was easy to user. The default settings and no external mic picked up the sound really well. And the picture was greate. Zoom feature was easy to use. I bought this one over the cheaper one because this one has the feature to put it on a tripod.

  24. thepaingoesaway

    Love this camera, it has ton’s of modes to shoot in and is incredibly simple to use!

  25. Turkeyqueen

    I love this camera, it’s very simple to operate and records fantastic 4K footage….the zoom is absolutely amazing on it. It has a WiFi flip screen option , I highly suggest purchasing this camera . Worth every penny. I added a microphone & tripod for my hunting excursions!

  26. RyanT

    This camera will consistently stop recording and crash unexpectedly, even with the AC Adapter connected, regardless of the type of media being used (SD Card, microSD Card, variety of sizes). The only remedy is to remove the battery, which promptly corrupts your video file beyond recovery for editing.
    The first time I used it, it stopped recording 1080p around 20 minutes, and I attributed it to my microSD card being too fast? Or too new?
    So, I attempted a new recording at 720p with a full SD Card moderately sized (64GB). This time, it would stop recording around 12 minutes.
    All recordings corrupted.

  27. DanandPeg

    Cost effective way to store your family memories in 4K. I had to move up to 4K quality when I saw the difference from a 1080p model I recently bought

  28. Louis

    This camera is unlike any other its compact and has great power behind it

  29. JuanC

    This is my little baby. I love it perfect for what I do

  30. CarlosM

    Very happy with my purchase, outstanding video camcorder, image is awesome and overall pleased

  31. MichaelS

    This was a gift, so I do not know who’s it preformed

  32. JoseB

    I really enjoyed this camcorder. It was a gift to my parents especially since my mom had an old one that wasn’t working anymore. The camera quality looks great!

  33. MintesinotM

    It’s really amazing Video camera and easy to use i like it

  34. Xxxx

    Does a great job. It’s light weight and easy to use.

  35. PnwAlex

    This camcorder first released in 2016 still holds up quite nicely. It has pletha of settings to adjust, and allows for steaming the recording via wifi straight to your phone or computer. The battery packs are easily swapped and last a decent amount of time. The only downside I found is that in low light conditions the recording seems choppy when set To 4k but fine if set to a lower resoluton. Overall at the current price point and with its feature set this is a great choice.

  36. BarnettgM

    At a low price point for 4k cameras, i wasn’t expecting a lot, but it delivers a lot. Leica lens helps. A good buy.

  37. JosueFer

    Works fantastic, all accesories were included. Good packaging and the pickup service was fast. The camera overall is a great product, just consider that if you want to use it for streaming you’ll need to use a video capture device in order to have clean image.

  38. EstefanyA

    excellent Camare, very professional and easy used.

  39. RussellS

    Great for the price, easy set up. We use multiple ones of these to stream our coverage of athletics and they have never let me down.

  40. Lobsta

    Does what it’s supposed to and films wonderfully!!

  41. TimT

    This is a good 4K camera in a very small package. I bought it to add into my camera collection so I could have a good fill
    camera while my main 4K cams record the main subject, but I’ve found this little camera can do more than just be a fill cam. Worth the $!

  42. KevinR

    We are impressed with the clarity of the picture and the value of the product. It is light in my hand and easy to use.

  43. AdrienM

    I would not recommend this camera for long amounts of film. I used it to film a wedding and in dim light it was very grainy. It also shut down often with an “error” but nothing was wrong. The battery life after charged overnight was only about an hour. The only good thing about this camera was that best buy accepted my return in full with these issues.

  44. JaskenC

    Perfect for beginners and it has accessories not like other u need to buy seperately

  45. JoshuaO

    Love it cant stop using it good for family videos pic

  46. user879011

    Great video camera. Excellent images and fairly simple to use

  47. Carlos

    Great product! It’s the second Panasonic we bought and very happy with it.

  48. LittleM1ssSunshin3

    My husband loves this thing. It’s great for high quality home videos

  49. Midwestuser

    Great camera easy to use.
    There is a slight delay when turning on the camera.
    I use it for recording church worship services.
    Turning it off and on is essential to me so some times I miss a bit of footage because of that. Over all a good buy

  50. Gaby

    Great camera with very good quality. Use it to record when on vacation and its great at capturing moments.
