## Description

Panasonic HC-X1000 4K-60p/50p Camcorder with High-Powered 20x Optical Zoom and Professional Functions

Review: awesome if used correctly - 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. But that is not why we have this camera. We have multiple GH4s for times that we need multiple angles of the same subject. We do not need to perfectly match this cam to our A cams. We use the HC1000 when we need a run&gun cam. We use it for ENG situations. Mostly sporting events. What this camera is capably of at it's price, is pretty incredible. 60p 4K, zoom, ND filters, all professional settings, solid audio, great autofocus, and the image stabilization is INCREDIBLE! There are many times we have no other choice but to shoot handheld with this cam, and with a steady operator, you will be amazed at how fluid your shots can be. We've also done a lot of testing and with our setting, we can cut from a GH4 interview shot to HCX b-roll without any jarring image differences. THE FOOTAGE IS A LITTLE NOISY. But that is something we accept with a cam at this pricepoint. As long as you keep that in mind while filming, you can minimize the noise. Also, when shooting low-lit scenes or any other scenario that might cause noise, throw the camera completely out of focus and record a few seconds, so that in post, you have a good clip to capture a good noise-print from and use a removal tool such as neat video. Do this and you might be very pleased with what you get. We've been using it for a few weeks now and I love this camera for what it is.
Review: May be the best hobbyist/starter camera available - I used this camera to record church services before upgrading to a Sony FS7, and it did a fine job. I don't personally think there's another camera in this price range with this massive feature set with dual XLR inputs, selectable phantom/mic/line levels on inputs, good zoom ability, focus peaking, dual recording, 60p UHD and even 30p DCI, and really smooth motion stabilization. In fact, I use this as a secondary HD camera still. For the cons: The low light performance is not good, so I don't recommend it for that. It's great for outdoor shots and slow mo though. I used it indoors, partially lit, and the proper exposure required a 27 db gain even though this lens has an f1.8 aperture. I recommend setting the max gain level to around 12 db, 9 db if you can, to limit noise. The lens is not parafocal, not interchangable, and the best recording format is H.264 with a decent bitrate depending on which resolution you shoot in. The FHD 24p H.264 offers the best picture with intraframe at 200Mbps. I would typically shoot at 24p 4K UHD to reframe, and that bitrate is 100Mbps, with no intraframe, so the video is definitely not as clean. It's not bad though, can be cleaned up pretty nicely with noise reducers like Red Giant's denoiser if you have 8 hours to wait for post processing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it Full frame?**
A: I don't believe you will find any full-frame 4K camcorders.  If you need full-frame quality 4K imaging you'll have to try a Sony Full Frame mirrorless DSLR type or something similar.  Would love to have the low-light capabilities of a full-frame sensor, but they are pretty expensive at this time, and I don't think they can record 4K internally in the camera itself.  Probably need to use an outboard recorder, but I could be wrong.

**Q: What's in the box?**
A: Camera, lens hood, battery charger, AC power cable, HDMI cable, 1 battery, USB cable. All you need to buy in addition is SD cards and you are ready to shoot.

**Q: how much does this puppy weigh?**
A: About 4#. depends on which battery is in use.  Look at specs either in amazon or B&H or Panasonic user manual from their web page.

**Q: Does this camera take UHS-II? I'm trying to buy an SD card but don't know if the camera takes UHS-1, 2, 3... etc.**
A: I purchased the Transcend 128GB High Speed 10 UHS-3 Flash Memory Card 95/60MB/s.This gives me the appropriate write speed for the data. If you don't have the right card in this respect the camera should warn you that you don't! With 4K and higher there's a lot more data that has to be written/stored!Hope this helps.
