Panasonic Announces New 4K And 2K Camcorders

Panasonic has announced the launch of two new camcorders, the HC-VX3 and HC-V900. The HC-VX3 features wide-angle 25mm for 4K recording, while the both models offer 28.9mm recording in 2K. The optical image stabilizer has HYBRID O.I.S., featuring 5-Axis correction with the Ball O.I.S. System for added smoothness to reduce the blur caused by camera shake during zooming, while Active Contrast optimizes the contrast under minimal lighting conditions.

Panasonic’s new camcorders come with USB-C terminal, remote control port, and an LCD electrostatic touchscreen, all upgrades over the company’s previous models.  Moreover, HC-VX3 is equipped with Timestamp recordability and Audio LINE-IN.
