Panasonic HC-VXF990. 4K Ultra HD Video camera

Reel Film takes an in-depth look at the Panasonic HC VXF990. Video was produced during 2023 and finalised on the 14th October 2023.

This capable Hybrid Video Camera was launched to market circa. 2015 and went on to win a TIPA award in 2016.

Considering its age, it has excellent video quality which captures brilliant tonal qualities.

I would have liked a proper focus ring as well as some jargon free menus.

However, I think this is an excellent video camera for the £385 that I paid for it in early 2023.

Please leave your comments below.

I have also included some useful links if you would like to delve deeper.
