Panasonic HC-X2000E

The possibilities are great, price / quality. It does require some study to find/experience all the possibilities.

Fine camera with excellent image, especially in bright light. In low light, noise quickly appears in the image due to the small CCD. The supplied lamp is therefore not a superfluous luxury. The relay setup through the double SD card slot is also a nice feature. The hybrid OIS does its job well. The camera is quite heavy for a compact handycam. As a result, hand-held filming becomes uncomfortable after a while.

The image quality in 4K is very good. And the built-in video lamp is a plus, but it is too focused and the light beam is weak, compared to an external video lamp, the lamp is ideal when interviewing someone. Camera is solid and fits well in the hand. It is a pity that the handle can be removed, it would be better if this were a fixed handle like with some other cameras. The operation of some functions is also strange, Panasonic has strange logic compared to another brand. I had problems with the logic of the operation because the operation of my previous camera from another brand was much more logical. 99% of the time I set the focus manually, but switching from auto focus to manual is with a button that is too small and the auto focus is slow (in my opinion). I would say a good entry-level model as a first camera.
