3D Ready HD 3MOS Digital Camcorder Lcd Versus
Panasonic HC-X920 3D Ready HD 3MOS Digital Camcorder with Wi-fi (black)
Updating the review after more analysis. Its a
great camera, and I'd give it 4 stars, however.. I'm going to keep at 3
stars so that panasonic understands it needs to work on its White
Balance features and color accuracy. With the default settings and
intelligent auto, there is a "cool tone" in the picture. Although this
camera has the best sharpness, The Canon G20 and Sony CX760 both excel
in color saturation/white balance.
Pros:
- The WiFi features are pretty cool - wirelessly stream videos to your HDTV/internet
(Note: Make sure your TV/DLNA device can play AVCHD 60fps files, for instance my Samsung TV can't)
- Class leading image quality just got better with improvements in low light noise / image quality
- Simply the best image stabilisation in this price bracket, the new level shot is sometimes useful but flawed (I currently don't use the level shot feature anymore due to the distortion when panning the camera)
Cons:
- White balance takes a long time to stabilise - expect washed out colors unless properly calibrated
(Check out this youtube video : youtube .com / watch?v=fa03lvcx4Ao (without spaces)
- WiFi features take long time to initialise - rendering it a hardly used feature in the device
- Sometimes distortion can be noticed due to level shot stabilisation feature
- Image quality not a lot better than previous models, Panasonic has put its focus on other areas like WiFi/Connectivity
- The menu system is not easy to get used to, needs work/usability improvment around manual controls.
