Camera Video Panasonic 4K

[Autofocus] This camera is best for 4K video. Received it quickly

[1x USB-C Male] This fiber optic cable, while not inexpensive, works extremely well. It's being used to send only video from a Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player to an Epson projector. The cable is 30' long and performs flawlessly. I would definitely buy it again.

[1.9 lb] 4k quality of the Panasonic hc-vx870 is beyond my expectations, I use this camera out in the woods an for hunting. My only downside is that the 4k records in MP4 an I don't have a video editing software get that can work with MP4

[Yes] I am panasonic camera user since 2004 with the DVX 100a and I am totally satisfied with the function of the AG-CX350 4K even though I don't use the 4K much the pictures still look great.

[4.08 to 81.6mm] I have a Panasonic 770.  I needed to upgrade a different camera that did poorly with extreme back-lighting.  I have really liked the 770 and had an investment in extra batteries (and learning curve).  So I really didnt want to look outside the Panasonic line.  The 981K looked like the perfect fit for me. Basically it is an updated version of the 770, allowing 4K resolution. I have done a couple of jobs with it, and it operates just like the 770.  I am not a black belt videographer.  I need the ability to mount cameras on tripods and just push the record button.  These Panasonics have always produced exactly what I needed simply using the automatic mode.  In particular, the auto-focus and backlighting adjustment work beautifully. One slight improvement with this camera is that if you have your SD card formatted as ExFAT, the camera will now save the session as a single large file, even if it is greater than 2GB.  Previously, it chopped a long program into several chunks.  Not a huge deal, but a little simpler now. I should caution, when recording in 4K mode, the files quickly become enormous.  That has nothing to do with the camera, per se.  It is just a huge load of pixels.  Of course, you can always select lower resolutions if you need to keep the file size down. I strongly recommend the Watson B-3648-2 battery with 3560 mAH of power.  This will run the camera ~3 hours.

[4.6 x 2.35 x 1"] Ordered to use on a Panasonic video camera. No issues, no complaints. Works very well.

[0.1 lb] I use this for the 4k cinema and the Video Assist 4k.

[14-Bit] With all the great cameras released in 2020, I stuck with Panasonic for these reasons. FYI: I rack focus and don't rely on auto-focus, this has improved over the GH5 but AF doesn't compare to Sony or Canon camera. (Not in order) 1. Price & footage. Nothing comes close at this price range to achieve the photos/video quality. 2. Their Menu is user friendly so I can focus on shooting, instead of figuring out where that setting is to change something. 3. The Image Stabilization, nothing comes close yet. I've found myself not using my gimble. 4. I can use this as a B camera on film sets. You can load LUTS (works perfect with Pansonic cinema cameras), Anamorphic video, V-log, V-Gamet, 4k RAW, Vector scopes, etc. 5. The Timelapse mode: Avoid Flicker, Timelapse video in S&Q mode, resolution, low light, etc. 6. Lowlight shooting, Sony is still king but Panasonic is a formattable opponent. 7. S&G mode, I can easily switch the dial to slow or fast mode for B roll footage, etc. There is a crop but I usually cut to a close-up in slow-mo so it's not a problem for me.

[PC Terminal] As someone once said, “If you like your current camera, you can keep your current camera.”  Or you can just acknowledge the changing times and take a serious look at something much smaller, faster and with many more features and benefits. I own this camera and purchased it from B&H along with the Panasonic 16-35mm f/4 lens, the Panasonic 24-105 mm f/4 lens, the Panasonic 50mm f/1.4 lens and the really cool and small XLR adapter. What really sold me on coming over to the Panasonic S1H from 20 years with Canon was watching the just released training video for the S1H authored by the former Sony training video legend, Doug Jensen. https://vimeo.com/391706599. It was and is the best $49.95 I have ever spent.  4 hours of in depth and real world training, including 18 different videos. This is a professional training video by a professional with some serious street cred, not some guy with his ballcap turned around backwards with an iPhone taped to the ceiling showing yet another unboxing of a camera. Prove it for yourself. Watch some S1H sample videos from Vimeo or YouTube. Or, build a simple Excel spreadsheet and compare the differences between the S1H and any camera you currently own or are thinking about purchasing. After dialing in the correct settings, I can readily see why Netflix has this camera on their approved list for content creators. 4:2:2 10 bit color internally and the ability to shoot in either full frame or Super 35mm.

[0.29 lb] I use it with my tripod for my Panasonic DVX100 Video camera, it's incredibly sturdy and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Huge sturdy casters glide effortlessly on a hard floor or even on a carpeted one (but don't ask me about shag lol) For the price it can't be beat.
