Video Camera Digital Panasonic

[4.7 x 2.4 x 1"] As a collector of various digital camera classics by LEICA, Panasonic LUMIX and NIKON, I like the ability to keep all my batteries alive with the excellent Watson 2 bay battery charger and the different available plates.

[Yes] The Panasonic HC-VX981 turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Top 2 qualities are ease of use and unequaled image quality, seriously, watching my movies and pictures on a TV screen seems like I am at the movies! Then, as you dwell into what the camera offers you, your horizon keeps expanding, both using the different modes and formats it offers. Stabilization is great, and so is the little light for night scenes. Additionally, the movie shoots in complete darkness, using infra-red. The only feature I would have like to have is a wide-angle around 29mm or lower. The zoom is optical at 20x, (phenomenal), then a hybrid optical/digital at 25x, and a digital going to 1,500x. The camera is light at use, but I recommend a larger battery. It's a 4k camera, with a clean HDMI.

[Zipper] Great digital bridge camera with all the bells and whistles I need, and then some! Wasn't sure about the brand (Panasonic) at first but after playing with it for a while, it's as good as any brand of camera I've used and with the Leica lens, probably better.

[Lithium-Ion] Sopme years ago I purchased a Panasonic Digital camera from B & H. I had not used it for several months and found my battery dead. To my surprise and delight, B & H not only had the battery I needed, but upon ordering it I received it two days later. What a store! Thanks again for great service.

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

[24 AWG] Excellent packaging and fast shipment of the product. The product will be used with digital video camera.

[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.

[200' / 61 m] The new G9II is a terrific upgrade in terms of better image quality, low-light noise handling and reliability of focusing thanks to both the new, better 25MB 4/3rds sensor, as well as finally incorporating a solid phase detect auto focus system. The color accuracy of the camera is excellent, and the menu system is still intuitive and straight-forward, if you have owned any of Panasonic's other hybrid cameras. I primarily do 90 percent photography (landscape, architecture, wildlife, air shows and boat races) and 10 percent video, so I think Panasonic positioned this camera well for those focused on stills photography with some video needs. I've been testing the various features of the camera for about a month now and I have to say that the implementation of focus bracketing makes good sense, as I do a reasonable amount of macro and just being able to drop the raw files into Helicon produces a far better final image output than most cameras can do internally with more flexibility. It also frees up camera memory and computational power for additional add-on functionality down the road. It should be noted that operating manual for this camera is 832 pages in length and I encourage you to download the pdf. That is because of literally all the functionality and flexibility that has been built into this hybrid camera. It truly is a highly customizable hybrid camera.
