I bought the camcorder to go, though my smartphone Lumia 1020 makes great pictures but krottenschlechte films, while hiking, etc. Just looking to make beautiful movies. It should be light and easy to operate. I just decided on this camcorder to a report in the journal Videoaktiv. He was the best picture and a thoughtful service as compared to a Sony have. This is not the service at Sony so great I can say from experience because I had a Sony camcorder beforehand. So ordered the part and taken with you on vacation. Well, and I'm hard to inspire but the camcorder really has it all (almost too much) what woman / man needs to go Super films and great photos (25MP in photo mode). The camcorder starts faster than my app on my Lumia. Felt like 3-5 seconds. A battery lasts forever. I had turned him on a hike 3 hours, despite zooming and films hardly battery consumption. Man needed so first no second battery. He films in super FullHD 50p and which is very important for me is the image stabilizer is great. Sound is also knotless. Hab so already Vogestimmen added. Yes and it fits at least for me as a cell phone in a larger pocket. The weight hardly feel man. That's what I call freedom during filming. Therefore, I do not mind even the lack of a viewfinder. Created video's can be converted directly on the camcorder in other formats or cut and stored as full video's. For this, however, man should always have the manual, which is very extensive and good for the rest, in PDF format on the smartphone. The connect and playback on the TV works without problems. However, was floored when the camcorder easily connect via WIFI to check with my old iPhone 3GS. Movies and photos I've already about the app on an iPad loaded. Man can with the APP also operate your camcorder (recording). So thumbs up for the Panasonic HC-V777EG.
