Panasonic HC-VX3 camcorder

Panasonic Corp. of North America announced two camcorders, the $899.99 HC-VX3 with 4K recording capabilities and premium picture quality, and the $699.99 HC-V900 with 2K recording capabilities and stunning picture quality. Both feature advanced optical performance such as a wide-angle 25mm in 4K for VX3, and 28.9mm in 2K for both VX3 and V900, 24x optical zoom lens, and achieve quick and accurate focusing to enhance the AF function critical in video capture.

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. The Active Contrast optimizes the contrast under minimal lighting conditions, capturing enhanced images with clarity.

Both HC-VX3 and HC-V900 come with a USB-C terminal, a remote control port, and an LCD with higher resolution and electrostatic touchscreen, improving the operability of the previous models (VX1 and V800, which were released in 2018). Moreover, HC-VX3 is equipped with Timestamp recordability and Audio LINE-IN.
