    Product Description

    Compact, lightweight and easy to use, the Panasonic Full HD Camcorder HC-V180K brings a fun, worry-free experience to high-resolution video capture. Featuring a 5-axis image stabilizer for maximum handheld stability, this 1080p camera’s super-long 50X optical zoom and up to 90X intelligent zoom quickly bring distant objects in focus. A convenient 28mm wide-angle lens allows you to fit more people and scenery into settings like weddings, reunions and vacations. An advanced BSI sensor assures low-light video image quality while Panasonic’s Level Shot function automatically detects and compensates for distracting camera tilting. For added fun, the camera includes creative filter effects like 8mm Movie, Silent Movie, Miniature Effect and Time Lapse Recording, all easily accessible on the 2.7-inch LCD touch screen. A 2-channel zoom microphone works in tandem with the zoom to ensure crisp, clear audio up close or at any distance.

    Low light footage is poor compared to the Canon VIXIA HF40. Photo attached
    If the camcorders are often used In-room low-light events then, Panasonic HC-V785 is not as good as Canon VIXIA HF M40 which I am using right now ( as shown in the attached picture ), but recently I experienced some problems and looking to find a replacement.
