The Panasonic HC-X1000E is a semi-professional Ultra HD and 4K camcorder that is impossible to look upon it without feeling a shiver of excitement, so festooned is it with buttons, controls and features. It's a serious bit of kit.

not an in-depth review - but in general - i love this camera. once you het it customized to your liking it's a very good run & gun 4k rig.

I bought this as an upgrade to my Canon 550D, it's my first proper Camcorder, and I'm by no means a professional, but this is so easy to use out of the box. I'd read that it wasn't very good in low light, and when I looked around my house with it as the sun was going down and there was a lot of...

Excellent product.

Great viewfinder and lens.Sound excellent.Smooth zoom. Superb picture quality in daylight and well-lit interiors. Night time shooting is grainy and lets the product down. Better at 25P in low light.<br />5 stars for performance in good light.<br />2 stars for performance in poor light.

I am the owner of a video production company. We have been shooting strictly in 4K for about a year now. Mostly on GH4s. I'll be the first to admit, this camera does not deliver the same pretty picture that the GH4 does. With box settings, the footage does not match well to GH4 either.

Image quality is lacking a bit

Excellent choice of Camcorders with all the feature rich features you come to expect from Panasonic. My only question is what does the C4K /30/60 recording format stand for ? C- Cine wave format similar to Blackmagic and Sony 4K recording formats.?

Nice Clear images in HD. I tested on a live stage event and found the autofocus was hunting a lot. Could have had a faulty unit?

I purchased this camera for media coverage of auto racing events. I've used it at a couple of races now and I can't think of anything bad to say. Does everything as advertised. Flawless recording at 4K 60p with excellent image quality.
