Description

As technology advances, so do our choices and opportunities to capture life’s precious moments. Panasonic’s HC-V380 camcorder delivers high-quality video recording and advanced features at an affordable price, providing an excellent option for those looking to capture and preserve their memories.

The camera comes equipped with a 50x optical zoom lens and a 28mm wide-angle setting, allowing for flexibility in composition and the ability to capture high-quality footage from a distance. The lens also includes a five-axis hybrid optical image stabilizer that helps to reduce shaky footage, allowing for smoother panning and stable shots while on the go.

The HC-V380 also features a 2.51-megapixel BSI MOS sensor and a Crystal Engine that enable 1080p Full HD video recording at 60 frames per second. This allows for clear high-resolution footage that captures the intricacies of detail and color beautifully.

One of the most innovative features of the camcorder is the Wireless Multi Camera mode. This feature allows users to link up to three smartphones to the camera that can be used as additional cameras to record from different angles, or as a live feed monitor. This is particularly useful for those who enjoy shooting video at live events such as concerts, weddings, or sporting events.

Another feature that sets the HC-V380 apart from other camcorders in its class is the ability to record in two different modes: manual or intelligent. With intelligent mode, the camera automatically selects the best settings based on the scene, such as low light or outdoor settings. But for those who want total control, manual mode allows for adjusting exposure, white balance, focus, and other settings.

The camcorder also comes with built-in WiFi and NFC connectivity, making it easy to transfer footage to a smartphone or tablet with the Panasonic Image App. This app allows for easy editing of video and photos, as well as the ability to share them on social media platforms.

In conclusion, the Panasonic HC-V380 camcorder is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, easy-to-use, and affordable camcorder that comes equipped with advanced features to capture precious memories.

  1. Ayden Mills

    Very good camera, and wifi functionality (recordings from satellite applications on phones) adds an additional point of view to recordings. I recommend the product!

  2. Ketie

    I like this Panasonic camcorder because £1000 is a lot of money, but you can get something better for less than £200 now and by the time you can afford a DV camera, there will be even cheaper ones. Also if you plan to do weddings, there are a great few camcorders out at the moment which will save you a heck of a lot of money. As for why you can’t shoot in HD for free… try a decent dslr or point & shoot for £300 if you REALLY need to record your videos in standard video quality, or go pay less than half what a point & shoot sells at – even £200 is not going to break the bank. I’ve had good results recently from a Panasonic Lumix G25 at £200, and you can get a good Olympus for £250 these days.
    You get a lot more for £500. The best point & shots cameras are those that can shoot in good quality video, good quality stills and sound in stereo. Point & Shoot cameras are very affordable for now, they really are not the best – the cheapest one these days is around £300. Yes, you can get a dslr for that but in my case this is not an option.
