I've had this camcorder for approx. 4 weeks and have tested it under day and night shooting with and without additional light sources (white and IR lights). I also own a Panasonic HC-W850K which is a few models earlier and thankfully this one has performed even better to that excellent one.

I have been using the HC-VX981K since November of 2017 so I have had a little bit of time to get used to it and learn some of what I like and don't like. This is a good camera for the money. It shoots very clear video in 4k and 1080p and has a lot of great features.

Love the image quality and I am sure I will learn more as time goes by. I'm thinking it does not have a way to manually adjust the F-Stop or Shutter speed that would be helpful to me. Just ordered up a Gimble so that will be a big help for shooting homes too!

Great camecorder. Works as I wanted.

Great camera, lightweight, perfect size. Amazing picture. Even has a built in light. 4K for this price is great deal.

I have recorder several videos I am planning to use for advertisements now. The quality is just unbelievable! So much better than my previous, non-4K recorder. You just need to be aware that the files are so much larger that it takes a lot longer to upload to Vimeo (or whatever program you are...

Great video but the android connection leave a lot to be desired... It needs tons of work

Decent camera if all you want to do is record. This camera boasted streaming, however you cannot remove icons during live streaming from HDMI cable. Not a great choice and no info on this before you buy. Just beware, not a great streaming camera.

camera is good ,i would have purchase after price goes down,i could have save 100 $ :(

Night time and low light footage quality are not as good as they say. Tons of video noise. Yes it better then my 12 years old Panasonic camcorder but quality are unuseable, I test the 4k and 1080, play them on my 75 inch 4k tv.
