According to our camcorder expert
The Panasonic Lumix HC-VX980 is a camcorder with many features. This camcorder has a Level Shot Function, which allows the camera to detect a tilted stance. This is automatically corrected, so that you'll always shoot videos with a straight horizon. Thanks to the 4K quality, your video footage looks incredibly realistic. You can connect 3 smartphones to the camcorder via WiFi. Use 1 of them to operate the camera remotely. The other 2 can be used as a subwindow in your videos. This way, you can see in 1 image what you capture with 3 different cameras. You won't miss any details of an important moment.

Great camera, good quality and very solid. I personally find the menu operation with the built-in touch screen a bit difficult since the screen is not very sensitive. There is a wheel on the side to scroll through the menu, which does not work very well either. But otherwise beautiful images at 1080P at 60 fps.

This camera is promoted as a 4K device with a lot of extra possibilities, including: filming 2nd image with Smartphone, using Smlartphone as a remote control, manual settings, night shot, etc, but all those functions are not possible if you want to film in 4K. In other words: this is actually a full-featured HD camera that can also film a bit in 4K. As a 2nd chance device I got more than 200€ discount, so I'm keeping it, because the alternative was an HD that was about that price, but if it was a new device I would have sent it back.

the camera is very good issue image quality operation against it, for example with wifi, well that is not so optimal Viewing photos via WiFi on dnla works, but videos do not work, however, he should be able to handle it, but nothing. so a good movie camera but ease of use not so simple. but those young guys are away with it right away,
