The Panasonic AG-AC7 Shoulder-Mount AVCHD Camcorder is a highly affordable Full HD camera that enables a truly professional style of operation. Professional projects require stable operation over long periods of time and manual control over the picture, with smooth adjustments. High-def or not, most undersized handheld camcorders often will not fit the bill.

The AC7's shoulder-mount design, its relatively low power draw from the included long-life battery, and selectable-bit-rate AVCHD recording to high-capacity SD/SDHC/SDXC cards all serve to facilitate long days of shooting events, weddings, news, and anything else that requires you to be on the move, ready to shoot, camera on shoulder. It's also perfect for houses of worship and educational institutions that teach manual settings and a professional style of camera operation.

For ease in completing both SD and HD projects, the AG-AC7 camera features AVCHD recording at 1920 x 1080 and 720 x 480, both at 60i. The built-in 16.7x (optical) / 23x (Intelligent) zoom lens starts out nice and wide at 35.8mm (35mm equivalent), so indoor shooting does not become a challenge to see how deeply into the corner you can smash yourself. With a large grip and zoom lever and a large, easy-to-hold manual focus ring, you've got accessible, precise controls, and a zebra pattern assists you in setting exposure. In addition to extensive manual controls, there's also Intelligent Auto (iA) and Hybrid optical image stabilization, providing the high-tech help you need to ensure smooth, reliably crisp & clear capture of Full HD video.

Full HD 1920 x 1080 Recording
The AG-AC7 camcorder lets you shoot with Full HD picture quality (1920 x 1080 at 60i), allowing you to capture extremely fine details of the scenes and objects you're recording
Professional Shoulder-Mount Design
The camcorder has all the ergonomic features that a professional expects, starting with a large eyecup, a tiltable viewfinder, a shoulder pad, and a shoulder strap. There's also a large hand grip with a large zoom lever mounted on top (helpful for smooth operation during low-angle shooting). The wide-diameter, easy-to-hold manual focus ring enables smooth, positive operation and quick, precise control over focus
HD/SD Recording in the AVCHD Format
The AG-AD7 records to the AVCHD format in both HD and SD resolutions, with modes that range from 17 Mb/s HA mode (1920 x 1080) to 4.5 Mb/s SX mode (720 x 480). See Specifications tab for full details
Zoom Lens – 35.8mm (35mm Film Equivalent) at Full Wide
The AG-AD7's zoom lens achieves 35.8mm (35mm film equivalent) at the wide end. This is ideal for capturing a panoramic vista or a fuller view of a small room. The optional VW-4607H Wide Conversion Lens (sold separately) expands the view to an even wider 25mm
Intelligent 23x Zoom
The built-in Panasonic lens features optical zoom of 16.7x and Intelligent Zoom of 23x magnification. Intelligent Zoom employs the Intelligent Resolution technology of the camcorder's image-processing LSI to maintain the clear, beautiful HD image quality for images that go beyond the optical zoom range
Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization
Hybrid optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) combines the advantages of optical stabilization and those of electronic stabilization. It helps capture beautiful, shake-free images under a multitude of conditions by detecting and compensating for the instability caused by a variety of movement types. Enhancing optical stabilization, it provides more powerful electronic correction during high-power zooming
O.I.S. Lock
Pressing the O.I.S. Lock button on the camcorder's touchscreen LCD monitor maximizes the camera's blur-detection sensitivity and correction. This is ideal for telephoto applications such as birdwatching, which calls for zooming to a fixed angle
Touchscreen LCD Monitor – 2.7"
Control settings are executed by simply touching the AG-AC7's LCD screen. Operation is intuitive and easy, and the large letters are easy to read. Shooting and viewing can thus be simpler and more stress-free
Long-Life Battery Included
For long events, nothing is more convenient than a battery that can perform throughout the day's duration, without the need to change it out. The AC7 comes with Panasonic's VW-VBG260 rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, which is rated to record continuously for 4 hours and 35 minutes. For even longer battery life, the optional VW-VBG6 battery (sold separately) enables approximately 11 hours and 25 minutes of continuous recording. Now that camcorders' recording capacity can far outpace the life of their batteries, it's refreshing to use batteries that can actually keep up with an SDXC card.
Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode
In the powerful Intelligent Auto (iA) mode, the AC7 senses the particular shooting conditions at any given moment, and the camcorder automatically inputs the settings and activates the functions that will deliver optimal results.

Hybrid O.I.S.: Blur-free zooming and shooting on the move
Intelligent Contrast Control: Helps retain a natural contrast
Intelligent Scene Selector: Detects the situation and switches the scene mode
Built-In Zoom Microphones
The built-in stereo microphones "zoom" in proportion to the zoom setting of the lens, allowing the two electret condenser microphones (ECMs) to bring sound and image together to create an exceptional recorded atmosphere. There's also a 3.5mm input for an external microphone
Wind Noise Canceller
This function automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise, leaving natural sounds with lifelike ambience
Manual Functions for Creative Flexibility
Let your true creativity shine, with a wealth of manual controls at your fingertips. You can switch to auto mode at any time, of course, which is ideal for when you need to start shooting at a moment's notice. But for the ultimate in precise control over your image, the AG-AC7 gives you the following: Manual Focus, Manual Iris, Manual Shutter Speed, Manual White Balance, and On-Screen Assist Functions (Zebra-Pattern/Luminance Level/Histogram)
SD Memory Card Recording
This camera conveniently records to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards (sold separately) to enable high-capacity recording to readily available solid-state media. SD memory card recording also provides rapid data transfer and outstanding compatibility with professional and prosumer editing applications. Capacities are so large – especially with SDXC cards – that you can literally spend the whole day shooting and not have to change your card once. A remaining media indicator lets you know where you stand regarding capacity. See Specifications tab for recording mode comparisons

First off, remember that this is a [$] (list) camera. If you are expecting too much just because it is a Panasonic AG series AVCHD, then you will be very disappointed. So I'm going to say that it is a good camera FOR THE MONEY. I bought it to try out as a "Camera 2" to my big 'ol P2 camera. So far it looks like I'm going to keep it, as it will serve this purpose. I would not use this as a primary camera because of it's limitations.Marketed as a prosumer model, it is much more "sumer" than "pro". The first thing I noticed was how light it is. Upon un-boxing I thought, "Did I just buy a toy?"I shot a test with it, and it looked pretty good. However, low-light was really grainy, but I don't do low-light, so this isn't an issue for me. I also got some lines while swaying side-to-side very swiftly, but this wasn't a deal-breaker for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the built in stereo mic. However, I didn't expect much. It still isn't going to give me the sound quality that I need. I will rarely, if ever, use audio from this camera (except for syncing purposes). There is a mini mic input, but I am doubtful about the quality of the audio section.It spits out MTS files, so they require third party conversion for me to edit in FCP. The manual controls are there, but configured in a way that might annoy a pro who is accustomed to finding controls in the usual places. You have to use a touch screen to adjust many of the settings. It is designed to be more user-friendly in full-manual mode. I must say that the intelligent auto-functions are a step or two above what you will find in a full-on consumer targeted camcorder. So this thing is really basic. It gives you a decent picture with no frills, limited connectivity, and basic operation. While I would not suggest this to someone wanting to start out as a wedding videographer, or serious hobbyist, it might be a good first camera for a student. Or, if you are like me, and you need a camera 2 that doesn't have to record audio or timecode, this might be a good buy. Of course, if you are going to be super-nit-picky about image quality, you are looking in the wrong price range. I usually put "B Roll" style effects on my camera 2 stuff, so my camera 2 doesn't have to be perfect.I think it begs the question, "Why not just go out and get a DSLR rig?"It still costs less than a good DSLR, handles like a video camera, and doesn't present you with typical DSLR issues like the "wavy" effect when moving, down-conversion problems, etc. You also get a video-camera style interface without dropping another 2-3 grand on mounts, handles, monitors, eyepieces, etc. For me, the image also matches my Camera 1 a lot better than a DSRL can.If I were NOT rating this camera in the context of it's price range, I would probably give it 2 stars. But for the money, and considering my specific applications, I'll go with 4.

I just received my AG-AC7 last week and I have had limited time to work with it, but the little bit that I have used it, I have been very impressed with it.

The picture quality has been great and the ease of use is fantastic. There are some things that I wished it had, but for the price it is a reall good camera.

I wish that it had better audio control and a higher quality input, ie XLR. I knew when I purchased it that it did not, so that is fine.

One thing that I do not like is the way that the AC plug on the camera is pushed back into the battery compartment. You have to turn the camera on it's side and use a flashlight just to plug it in.

Again, I have not had a chance to use it extensively to this point, but next week I am using it on a shoot, so I will have a better idea of it's capabilities.

    Good image quality, but I'm returning it

    By Tech Teacher

    from Delmar, DE

    Comments about Panasonic AG-AC7 Shoulder-Mount AVCHD Camcorder:

    I bought this for our high school tv studio. The image quality looks good, but when I switched it ot 4:3 aspect ratio, the camera frames the image with a black box and there's no way to get rid of it.
    I run the morning announcements live through a Tricaster and couldn't get the image to not get squished.
    I'm hoping this isn't a problem with all HD cameras when trying to broadcast in the 4:3 aspect ratio.

I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to record Full HD quality video. The Panasonic Ag-AC7 is the best choice for me, and I will create amazing work with this professional camcorder.

          Comments about Panasonic AG-AC7 Shoulder-Mount AVCHD Camcorder:

          This camera is so much lighter than I thought it would be which is a big plus for me. I was wanting to purchase a Canon XH A1 and worked very hard to save my money. Well I am so glad I saved around $2700 buying this one instead. I cannot see the difference after testing each camera...so I think the XH A1 is completely over-priced and overrated. This camera is great in all conditions and it is easy to set up. Crystal clear picture and sound...just as good as the XH A1 without any question. Buy this camera if you are a videographer...your wedding ceremonies and receptions will look fantastic and your clients will be very happy with your work. The XH A1 was so hard to move around with the LCD screen. OMG that can lead to a total disaster and I do not need that.

          I try to move down and my big fingers would set the Auto Focus to manual....over and over and over again. That was the deal breaker along with the price and I am NOT buy some used Canon, either. God only knows what the prior owner did to it. If I am attempting to put in some transition on the XH A1...it would go into Auto Exposure and change it to manual. Man if that happened to me during a ceremony...I would get sued. Trust me...go with this camera...it is awesome...even in dark conditions and the menu works so much better than the Canon. I tried the Sony NEX too and liked it more than the XH A1...just an FYI.

                    Everything is great about this Panasonic Camcorder. Great picture, stability control, great sound, easy to use. easy to transfer my videos to iMovie. Saves me alot of money on mini-dv's. I would recomend this product to any of my friends. I've used this camcorder on two weddings already and haven't found any cons.

                        Great picture quality, easy learning curve. External mic quality is not great, but it is commensurate with a camera of this price range. Incredibly light. Had some trouble with Mac OSX Lion recognition. Excellent picture, acceptable audio, Definitely a good buy.

                            We have used the camcorder a couple time now... once inside and once outside and so far it has exceeded my expectations. The quality of the image has been excellent, and the audio has really impressed me! Great addition to our ministry that will only enhance what we are doing.

                              These items have surpassed what I expected of this product. It's excellent.
                              Very, very user friendly and light weight. Simply conrols, but with that professional touch.
                              You wouldn't even know that these is a reasonably priced camcorder. You'd think this is a $10,000 camcorder. The quality and performance of this camcorder is excellent.
                              Thank you guys for a very great deal. This camcorder will be well taken care of and cherished. Thanks again.

                                For semi-professional use it is great. Easy to handle. Easy functionality. Definitely fits the type of camera I was looking for. Only shoulder mount found in this price range. The light weight of the camera at first feels a bit "toy" like, yet the quality of the camera is professional. It looked good on my video shoot.
