Panasonic HC-X1500E 4K Pro Camcorder HDMI with 24x Zoom
Compact and lightweight, as well as easy to use, the HC-X1500 4K camcorder is perfect for a novice or an enthusiast looking to up their video game. The Panasonic HC-X1500 shoots and records UHD 4K at broadcast-compatible frame rates, so it fits smoothly into your existing broadcast workflow.
Moreover, the HC-X1500 features a 1/2.5" 8.29M MOS sensor that is always shooting at 4K resolution, the Venus processing engine to scale the 4K image for Full HD delivery, and an HDMI output. Audio is recorded in up to 24-bit PCM via the built-in microphone.
For added convenience, the built-in Leica Dicomar lens features a 24x zoom with its widest angle at 25mm, and it uses the digital iZoom feature to zoom up to 48x. The Face Detection AF feature allows you to track faces and automatically adjusts focus on your subject. It also features manual control rings, a control dial, and a 5-axis optical image stabilisation to keep your shots steady.
Furthermore, the 3.5" fold-out LCD features a high-resolution touchscreen. The camera records in a variety of codecs and wrappers including .mp4, .mov, and AVCHD codecs and features HEVC compression. The camera incorporates dual SD card slots, allowing you to use relay and simultaneous recording. The camera also supports live streaming over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi via RTP/RTSP/RTMP/RTMPS streams.
For those that prefer to add XLR inputs, there is an optional VW-HU1E-K top handle unit which is available separately and provides dual XLR inputs, a built-in LED light, a microphone holder, and accessory mounting options.
