Compared to the predecessor, the manufacturer has improved a lot with the new edition. Especially in low light, the Panasonic makes a very good impression and can even maintain colour fidelity. The Wi-Fi module with its numerous options also made a good impression in the test. Overall, the new edition is much better than the previous year's model.

Compared to the predecessor model, the manufacturer has improved a few small things and the image sharpness is excellent and the low-light properties are also more than good. This makes the Panasonic a top model whose image distortions are compensated for by electronics. In fact, you won't find any real weaknesses here.

The Panasonic is a very good camcorder with good colour reproduction and numerous functions. The user can also intervene manually and is not only dependent on the automatic functions. The equipment is also very comprehensive and includes Wi-Fi and a spirit level.

  • PositiveVery good price/performance ratio
  • NegativeLight fan noise

The Panasonic is already available for quite a reasonable price and the housing is top-quality. It offers an extremely comprehensive range of features and is quite easy to operate. The recordings are impressive and the sound quality is convincing. In addition, thanks to the Wi-Fi function, recordings can be forwarded quickly and wirelessly. However, you can hear slight fan noise during operation.

  • PositiveGood low-light properties
  • NegativeAccessory shoe must be plugged on
  • NegativeLarge sensor is not used

The Panasonic is particularly convincing with its WLAN, which enables wireless data transfer. In addition, the picture quality and the good low-light shots are impressive. Unfortunately, the remote control has been omitted, and the accessory shoe has to be attached first.
