Panasonic HC-VXF990EBK

The HC-VXF990EBK is Panasonic's new flagship consumer camcorder for 2016. The conventional camcorder market has contracted considerably of late, and is now about 30% smaller than it was at the end of 2013. As a result, manufacturers have been looking...

Great 4K image quality ; New slow-motion modes ; Capable manual controls and the return of the EVF

Lens control ring hasn't returned ; Accessory shoe cover ungainly ; Not a full camcorder/stills camera hybrid

Some elaborate new features and the return of the EVF make the Panasonic HC-VXF990EBK the most capable consumer camcorder on the market, assuming a standard camcorder is what you want.

Over priced for what you get

I like the image quality, improvements should be made with easy access software, better controls for larger hands and at this price it should come with a HD memory card and manule, the package looks like it was all rushed on the cheap providing a...
