HC-W850, HC-V750 specifications

The Panasonic HC-V750 and HC-W850 are advanced camcorders designed to provide enthusiasts and casual filmmakers with high-quality video recording capabilities. Both models boast impressive features that cater to a range of filming needs, making them ideal for capturing life’s memorable moments.

The Panasonic HC-V750 is renowned for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 1/2.3-inch BSI (Back Side Illuminated) sensor.

With a 20x optical zoom lens, the HC-V750 provides versatility in framing shots, enabling users to shoot both wide-angle scenes and distant subjects with ease.

On the other hand, the Panasonic HC-W850 enhances the recording experience with its unique dual camera feature. This allows users to capture two perspectives simultaneously – one from the main camcorder and another from a small lens mounted on the side. This functionality facilitates creative storytelling, enabling filmmakers to include different angles and contexts within a single shot. The HC-W850 also shares the same advanced BSI sensor and 20x optical zoom as the HC-V750, ensuring high-quality imagery.

Both models support recording in full HD (1920x1080) with various frame rates, including 60p, which provides smooth motion and improved detail during fast-paced scenes. The integrated Wi-Fi connectivity allows for easy sharing and remote control via smartphones or tablets, making it convenient for users to manage their recordings.

The user interface of these camcorders is intuitive, featuring a 3-inch touchscreen LCD that simplifies navigation through settings and playback. Additionally, the HC-V750 and HC-W850 come equipped with various scene modes and creative filters, giving users the freedom to experiment with their visual style and achieve professional-looking results.
