I've been lugging around a GH4 and DVX-200 video cameras when traveling. I wanted something smaller and more automatic on my last trip, which didn't require pro-level video quality. I bought this camera and was very pleased. It is easy to use and provides a good picture.

I've filmed several basketball games in 4K. They came out really well; a big improvement in quality over my cell phone (Samsung S7). I had to record three games in a row one day so I connected the camera to an external USB power pack (attached to my monopod) and it worked great.

We got the HC-VX981K for shooting small docs and it does wonders!It's not a full CMOS and it gets quite grainy on low lights, but if you manage to control your set it'll get the job done. As I stated before, a good option for the price range.

Love, Love, love this camera. I am getting amazing footage with this thing. Filmed graduations with this and took on my recent trip to Italy. This is some top quality footage. Some noise in very low light (very low light, like dark).

This is an excellent quality camera, we bought 3 for church video streaming to Facebook and they are top quality for this purpose.

I really love this camera. There are so many shooting options. I work as a Private Investigator and this camera has the ability to shoot AVCHD which allows me to convert the video to include date/time stamp for court use. The clarity is amazing and the zoom is wonderful.

I got this camcorder hoping to improve my videography, getting away from using my DSLR.I went with the previous reviews of this camera as a good starter.Easy to set up, however the touch screen use is kind of difficult with big fingers, but I get through it.

The 4K is wonderfully sharp. I don't even have a 4K compatible screen, but I can still tell the difference. I've used my camcorder for fun and to record a forum discussion (I used some Boya BY-WM8 wireless microphones attached to this camcorder for the sound during the forum) and everything has been...

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...

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.
