Panasonic HC-VX3 4K & Panasonic HC-V900 Full HD

Pansonic releases two lightweight camcorders designed for everyday videography, the Panasonic HC-VX3E-K and the HC-V900E-K. They offer a user-friendly experience, making it easy to capture family moments, vacations, or any spontaneous events. The new camcorders feature powerful zoom lenses, image stabilization, and a range of automatic and advanced settings that let both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts record high-quality footage. With HD and 4K resolution, they provide clear, sharp video with reliable audio capture. Compact enough to fit in one hand, these camcorders are ideal for anyone wanting to document life’s moments conveniently and affordably.

The Panasonic HC-VX3 and HC-V900 camcorders deliver excellent optical performance, featuring a wide-angle lens (25mm in 4K for the VX3, 28.9mm in 2K for both models) and a 24x optical zoom. Their quick and accurate autofocus enhances video shooting, while HYBRID O.I.S. with 5-axis correction and Ball O.I.S. minimizes hand-shake blur. Active Contrast function boosts clarity in low light, making it easy to capture memorable family events and sports.

With upgrades from previous models like a USB-C terminal, remote control port, high-resolution LCD touchscreen, and additional pro features on the VX3 (Timestamp and Audio LINE-IN), these camcorders meet modern standards for all users—from families to video enthusiasts seeking 4K quality.
