Panasonic HC-V770 Review

The HC-V770 is Panasonic's top HD-only camcorder. Its flagship models, the HC-VX870 and HC-WX970, have moved up to 4K. If you don't foresee your shooting shifting to the higher resolution anytime soon, however, the HC-V770 could be all you need. It's...

Good value Comprehensive manual settings with control dial Wi-Fi connectivity

No lens ring Small sensor compared to a DSLR No 4K shooting

If your budget doesn’t stretch to 4K, the Panasonic HC-V770 provides feature-rich and high-quality Full HD video that’s sure to impress.

The Best Video Camera

After 30 hours of research and testing, the Panasonic HC-V770K is the best video camera for those who want more than what their smartphone or DSLR has to offer.

For anyone who wants to capture better quality and more useful video of their family and friends, the way to go is the $600 Panasonic HC-V770K . Its 20x zoom, top-of-the-line stabilization, excellent sharpness, and deep, saturated colors put it not...

Panasonic HC-V770K Review

Although its image quality and features aren't quite up to par with our number one product, the Panasonic HC-X920, we think that the V770K is the best camera for most people. It offers great video quality, an intuitive and good-looking design and a...

The camcorder has excellent image quality.

It suffers from sluggish touchscreen performance.

The Panasonic HC-V770K is easy to use and produces clear and accurate video. At this price point, we really couldn’t ask for more out of an HD camcorder.

Touch screen a little un responsive, although it may be finger trouble to be fair ! Supplied cables could do with being a bit longer. No external charger supplied. The battery capacity could have been a bit larger. Had to buy another battery which...

PANASONIC HC-V770EB-K Full HD Camcorder - Black

Image quality from this camcorder is exceptional, in both AVCHD and MP4 mode, but its best feature is the stunning stability system, hand gel video on longish zoom is now possible!

Some of the options in the menu are a bit arbitrary, battery life with the small included battery is a bit limited in practice and spare genuine batteries are expensive
