Panasonic X1 Pro Camcorder

Explore your cinematic side with the Panasonic HC-X1

A full-featured digital video camera for semi-professional uses, this new Panasonic HC-X1 will please enthusiasts no end. With its superb video quality, versatile lens and user-friendly controls the X1 is perfect for home use, events and even creating your own short films.

Both DCI and UHD 4K resolution video are available with the Panasonic X1, utilising the brilliant 1-inch type MOS sensor. This video quality marries perfectly with the high-quality 20x optical zoom lens as the basic film-making tool that is suited to any situation. The lens starts at a wide 24mm equivalent focal length, which comes in handy indoors, or for taking in majestic sceneries, while its long reach can reach across the field to capture sports and wildlife. Both hybrid and advanced Optical Image Stabilisation come into play when zooming, allowing you to shoot at long magnifications and in low-lit areas without your videos suffering from bumps, grinds and vibrations. At longer focal lengths the fast aperture rating of the lens comes into play, creating gripping scenes with beautiful background blur.

A user-friendly and ergonomic body is one of the finest features of the Panasonic HC-X1, resulting in a video camera that is comfortable for long days of shooting. Handheld, this camera is comfortable and easy to manoeuvre, while a range of customisable buttons makes it quick and simple to make any necessary setting adjustments. A sharp OLED electronic viewfinder and a 3.5-inch touch LCD screen are available for framing your videos, while twin SD card slots are available for automatically backing up files and creating separate files of differing quality and XLR inputs are available for attaching pro-quality microphones.
