Appearance: Even when it comes to the filming in the first place, I want to mention this point here. The camcorder looks nice and makes a high quality impression. He is also, as far as I can tell so far, not prone to scratches and fingerprints.
Handling: The piece is very comfortable to hold and it can all important functions are easily reached with one hand. The pressure on the touch screen must be a bit stronger, but that does not bother me much. The zoom rocker is a bit sensitive and achieve required a bit getting used to desired uniform zoom.
Menu: The menu is very intuitive and straight forward. Unknown functions can be found quickly and without manual.
Shooting Options: Here you can enjoy a wide range of settings and modes that to any, or can be switched off. Who does not want to deal with precisely such can confidently use the really excellent Intelligent Auto.
Image Quality: The picture quality of the HC-V707 convinces fully. Even fast objects appear very sharp and true color by the 50p function with 50 frames per second. Even in environments with poor lighting conditions can a camcorder not abandon and provides useful results. A video light that is automatically activated when required, is also installed, allowing the radius of about 1 meter, an illumination of the subject.
Sound Quality: At this point, show many camcorders their weakness. Not this. The microphones deliver clear sound that really convinced. Loud objects, such as airplanes, are not a problem.
Expansion opportunities: Further still a lot to be purchased accessories. By means of an adapter shoe a video light or an external microphone can be connected. On a 46mm thread on the front, it is possible filter, telephoto and macro lenses, or even screwed a 3D lens.
Conclusion: The Panasonic HC V707 is a very good choice in this price range. From my side, a strong buy recommendation!
