Panasonic X2100GN 4K 3G SDI Semi-Pro Digital Video Camera

The Panasonic X2100GN 4K 3G SDI Semi-Pro Digital Video Camera is a robust and versatile tool for content creators who require high-quality video capture capabilities. It can record Ultra High Definition (UHD) 4K video at 60 frames per second, ensuring smooth and detailed footage. It offers professional connectivity with both 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs for high-quality external monitoring and integration into professional workflows. The relatively large 1/2.5 inch sensor size with 8.29 megapixels helps in capturing high-resolution images with good low-light performance. With a high-powered 24x optical zoom lens, the camera can capture distant subjects without sacrificing image quality. The 48x digital i.ZOOM offers additional reach, though it's a digital expansion, which can impact the image quality when fully utilized. It features a 3.5-inch LCD screen for live view and playback, complemented by an OLED viewfinder that provides precise composition and excellent visibility under various lighting conditions. A built-in LED light is available for illumination in darker shooting scenarios.

The camera can record at 120 fps for slow-motion playback, adding a creative effect to videos. It also supports live streaming, making it ideal for broadcasting live events or creating real-time content for online. The 5-Axis Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) minimizes camera shake, offering steadier footage especially when shooting handheld or on the move. A detachable handle adds versatility, allowing different grip configurations and easier carrying. The camera supports multiple recording formats, including MP4, MOV, and AVCHD, offering compatibility with a variety of editing systems and workflows. With dual SD card slots, you can record continuously by automatically switching to the second card when the first is full, and it allows for instant backup. The 25mm wide-angle lens is ideal for capturing expansive scenes and can accommodate tight indoor spaces. It also features face detection autofocus, which ensures that subjects' faces remain in sharp focus, useful in interviews or scenes with moving subjects.

This camera hits the sweet spot for semi-professional users who demand high-quality video recording and professional features. It's perfect for event videography, documentary filmmaking, corporate videos, and live streaming events. Its wide lens, varied recording formats, dual-card recording, and advanced OIS make it well-suited to handle a range of filming situations with agility and ease.
