★★☆☆☆
Shockingly subpar
I have attached video footage testing it in various light conditions. There is a proper 4K video of the same footage on YT. The bitrate is 72Mbps at 4K 30FPS - this is meh compared to its competition. But WOW the image quality even in studio lighting is sub-par as best. 1) Grainy visual noise - even with proper dual 3500 Lumen defused lights on a backdrop, you STILL get noticeable grainy footage. what would be normal everyday lighting is so bad, that my 2 year old cell phone is comparable! 2) Choppy! even at 30 frames per second, in BROAD DAYLIGHT OUTSIDE, if you pan at normal speed, its choppy! 3) Image stabilization is not nearly as good as it should be. 4) Battery life is less than 1 hour of filming at full charge. 5) Have you seen Panasonic's support website??? its the most Janky thing I've seen in a while. I was really thinking this would be a major upgrade for me. What a big letdown. For an $800 device dedicated to filming, i would expect better. Much better. I will be returning this and getting something different.
