Comments about Panasonic AG-HPX600 P2 HD Camcorder with AG-CVF10 Color Viewfinder:
Vari IRIS / Vari Color Controls are awesome! Super Light weight! Perfect Picture! Zero Issues! (FUTURE PROOF) 4k upgrade next year! Built in WIFI! Price is great but be prepared to buy an expensive lens (HD ONLY LENS)! WAVEFORM built into the HD color viewfinder! Flip out large LCD design, WOW!
ONLY GRANTED 4 STARS DUE TO THE VIEWFINDER MAKING A LOOSE NOISE. GOING TO HAVE TO RIG IT OUT SEND IT IN FOR A REPAIR. ITS A SHAME AS ITS A NEW VF.
