I purchased the same camera some weeks ago. Many told me to have in consideration that this camera is from 2016 and I was well aware that the zoom and at least with a 1080 resolution would do it for me and I don't regret purchasing it at all. I have captured planes flying , mountains the moon and much stuff.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time. I've just ordered one of these and I can't wait for it to get here! ^^

Cool deal Mark. Great zoom for the price. Panasonic make a good Camcorder :)

Dude this is like National Geographic! Crazy good zoom on that thing! I have all kinds of wildlife here, eagles, osprey and vultures. Would like to check them out like this.

Having recently bought one of these used but in exceptional condition. I learned its not good in low light conditions theres alot of background noise. So i bought a cheap 96led hotshoe light and a hotshoe bracket arm so i can atatch it to the camera. Next to no backgroumd noise now even in pitch black. Sound quality is good and zoom is fantastic. Have you tried zooming up to the moon its amazing. Downside is the zooming and focus motor noise and no option for black and white mode, and no option for 720p. Other than that fairly good camera.

I’m impressed! This is what I like to see before buying a camcorder

How long time can it film on battery? Cant decide between this camera or the sony 405

I just ordered one of these to add to my camera collection...loved the video! New sub!

Thanks for the micro sd card information

Great camera, had mine for years and it’s still going, even though it’s been dropped and bounced 😂 The battery that came with it is still holding enough charge to film a full football (soccer) match for 90+ mins when used as a static camera (no zooming in and out) Quinny

I really like it. I'll buy it right now. Thanks for this video.

great vid I am trying to compare this with the Sony 405 so do you still use it 3 years on and how do you find the touch screen as some say its not very responsive. Cheers Glenn v

Fantastic value this camcorder👍🏻

Hi Mark. Thank you for sharing. Awesome and informative video. Question what will you use this for?? Don't cameras from your phone work good enough? Anyways Thanks for your consideration.

I also have v160. The screen is difficult to see when shooting outside the home. The light and clarity of the screen are insufficient. Do you recommend me to buy v180? What is the difference between v160 and v180?

I'm going get the Panasonic HC v180 camcorders on Black Friday sale half price

Hey Mark very helpful video. Ok I just bought one for taking close-up shots if the moon. Could tell me what would be the best zoom settings to get the closest clearest image if the moon. Thank you Jeff

Friends, why is this camera, if I have a 64GB SDXC memory formatted in the same camera, doesn't it record files larger than 4GB? It cuts the recording before 4GB, do you know what I can do so that it doesn't cut the recording before 4GB?

Is a Panasonic HC-V180K good for making ASMR videos for beginners? would the audio be good enough?

Hi, is it possible to set the ISO and fps manually?

thanks bro, I can buy this one

Thanks! What is the a/v port for? I didn't see any a/v in the package.

Difference between Zoom types??

I'm going get one very soon after i win £725 on Irish lotto Panasonic camcorders is a fantastic camcorders i not keen with Sony camcorder

Привет .как подключить к этой камере петличный микрофон ??? Спасибо .

It is the best, not the Nikon P900, and its current price is in dollars

I’m a private investigator and have this camcorder. Should I be using AVCHD or MP4 for best quality?

I have it, its like a mini telescope can use it for spying people( take it to the beach Ha Ha) Very clear, crazy zoom.

does it record 60 fps ?

Ok this is only 5 months old
