Product details

This powerful, Full HD 1080p shoulder-mount camera features exceptional ergonomics, functionality, and pricing. The 5-pound AC8 is ideal for shooting weddings, business conferences, documentaries, sporting events (including 720p at 8 Mbps), exhibits, and government activities. It is supported by the industry’s best guarantee — a 3-year limited warranty (1 year, plus 2 extra years upon registration).

Power zoom lens provides more choices. A powerful 21x optical/50x super-high-resolution zoom permits you to shoot scenes that you can't get close to. Intelligent resolution technology lets you shoot at high zoom rates while preserving the image resolution. Its wide-angle 28mm/F1.8 lens allows you to fit more people and background into the frame, especially useful in narrow spaces.

Die recht preiswerte Panasonic ist in Sachen Bildqualität sowie Funktionalität bestens aufgestellt und liefert dabei tolle Ergebnisse. Auch die Bedienung und Ausstattung kann sich hier sehen lassen, sodass ambitionierte Hobbyfilmer voll auf ihre Kosten kommen. Profis werden aber einige Einstellungen fehlen, wobei auch nur das AVCHD Format bei der Aufnahme angeboten wird.
