Panasonic HC-V380EB-K LUMIX Full HD Camcorder - Black

I've been recording my local football club's games for almost ten years and had an emergency when my previous camera decided to go rogue at the start of the season. I needed a replacement quickly, and one that I could get used to as quickly as possible. Step forward Panasonic, with this versatile little model. I tend to use it on a tripod at home games, but rely on my own hand-held skills at away games. It has never let me down. Quick zoom-in (or out) capabilities are what I rely on most, and this camera certainly accommodates my needs.

Purchased this as I wanted something not too expensive but with the best Optical zoom I could get hold of. Please with the result. You can see craters on the moon with it. The more expensive 580 has a twin camera and auto lens cover neither of which I was particularly interested in. Recommended

Good low cost Panasonic, but lens not as good as the Leica Panasonics.

The optical zoom is very good, main reason I bought it. The picture in picture feature was a real bonus, and the remote operating via phone or tablet works so well I was most impressed. Superb value for money.

Exactly as described.

After some research and friends with same Make of video recorders I bought this one . Very good quality video . Simple To set up in menu after some going through menus . Zoom is amazing for a small camera like this . At 50x optical u need to lean on something to keep steady . 90x is with digital zoom digital can be fuzzy at the end . Stick to 50x optical it’s fantastic. I use it for wildlife & Avaition and moon . Update after a month use this has broke will not read any as cards the screen has a red box on it and lightning strike on it . Changed cards bought new cards nothing works . What a shame it started so well . Don’t go near this rubbish product…

Purchased this camcorder to replace an old jvc camcorder which needed repair too expensive so chances my luck on this one and it’s absolutely brilliant bit of kit highly recommend it picture quality and playback are phenomenal love it

Let me say from the start this camera is not particularly easy to use. It relies on an electronic menu system with tiny logos (or whatever they are called) that do not make sense. What has a flower to do with picture stabilisation for example? However once set up you will find excellent quality pictures (as long as there is reasonable lighting). The HDMI output (which I use with a Black Magic mixer) is really good. Some people seem to have difficulty getting a clean HDMI output, don't know it is one of the easier setting on the menu. It may be that they have set the camera to SD output (which seems stupid to me). I don't particularly like the record button which cycles through record pause as it means three button presses to start recording. However if you need a good quality picture you will have to pay a lot more to get a better picture. Bit fussy which memory cards you can use, the most expensive which I use with my Panasonic HC-X1 will NOT work in this camera even if formatted first.

Muy manejable...y tiene una nitidez muy buena..de momento muy contenta con la compra

Quadro non girevole
