Panasonic Hc-V380 FHD videokamera, musta

(Pros)The camera has many features for which I am learning daily. Nice product and value for money. (Cons) It's a shame that the Lumix Club has stopped as I would like to use the camera as a live feed feature, but it wants me to sign up to enable this feature but has unfortunately since been disbanded since 2022. Shame.

I got this Camcorder a couple of weeks ago after some days reviewing them, the picture quality is excellent, it has many features + easy to set-up & use, apart from that it has the most fantastic Zoom 90xi + much higher in digital mode, watch the YouTube videos on the Zoom there are loads, especially thr ones of the moon, you feel like you are there, absolutely fantastic Panasonic webcam.

I have done lots of research among v380K, Canon VIXIA HF R00/R82 and Sony HDR CX-405/440 before I placed my order of v380K because it is a well balance between features and price. I did some tests after I received it few days ago. It performed well as I expected except it had a major issue. I could hear small volume of strange sound when the camcorder is on. It sounds like coming from an internal motor. I then recorded a clip in a quiet background and played back to check if the noise got recorded. Unfortunately the strange noise is very loud in recorded clip. I am not sure if I received a defect item or not. I am going to return it because it is not usable at all. The video clip is attached.

Great camera, great package deal! Not the first time I’ve purchased from cameta they are truly an excellent company. I’ve even been to their store in NY! Highly recommend:)

Difficulty attaching the battery, but that was me being me...Otherwise, Sooo easy to use. Utterly delighted. I do read reviews and value people's comments - just returning the favour
