The black Panasonic HC-V180K Full HD Camcorder makes it easy to capture your subjects in Full HD 1080p resolution, whether far away or close-up. It features a wide-angle lens with a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 28mm to fit more of your subjects into the shot, and a large 50x optical and 90x intelligent zoom range to bring the action front-and-center. For worry-free operation, the camcorder offers 5-axis image stabilization and a Level Shot function that combine to produce clear, level, and more stable looking handheld footage, even when zoomed in. A two-channel zoom microphone keeps pace with the zoom lens to provide clearer audio capture.

Panasonic HC-V180K Reviews
It is what you pay for
Overall not a bad camera for the price. However, there is obvious over processing on the video end that leaves a lot of edges in the video that is distracting to people who are used to higher end cameras. Tends to happen more in lower light environments which unfortunately our usage is. I have noticed it is far less obvious when zoomed in more or when it is in higher lighting. I would buy it again for another usage location than where I'm using it now!
Good HD great stereo sound!
Needed it just HD but sound was very important. After recording a short classical guitar video I was impressed by the sound, loud and clear with good presence. Great for recording lived performances! Many features for such small camcorder.
Quality at affordable price
This is a good entry level camcorder, good zoom, basic but good features and decent picture. Can't beat it for the price.
Simple and proficient
It does way more than I thought! Very good product! Great quality video recording at a low price
So... where is the CLEAN hdmi?
Bought one of these because I was told it had a clean HDMI output... well, IT DOES NOT HAVE A CLEAN HDMI OUTPUT. If it exists, I can't find it. The output has data on it and I can find no way, of any kind, to get a clean HDMI out. Not recommended as a webcam. Buy a Zoom 2qn4K handy... cheap and has clean HDMI.
Perfect for soccer sidelines
I'm just using it to film soccer games for now. The zoom is fantastic, camera is easy to use with the standard settings. Great color at night, amazing definition and color during the day.
