Product details

With the HC-V160, extreme close-ups are possible thanks to its intelligent 77x zoom, all within a compact body. The powerful zoom brings distant subjects up close, allowing you to capture dynamic, full-frame scenes. The image stabilization corrects slight shakes, ensuring that even extreme zoom shots, which often tend to be shaky, are now sharp and clear.

The 32.3 mm wide-angle lens (equivalent to 35mm full-frame) captures more people and background in the frame. This is especially useful when you want to take a group photo in a small space. Even from a short distance, everyone can fit into the shot. Plus, you can record small sound clips with the microphone.

The improved, highly sensitive BSI sensor captures clear images even in low light conditions. Filter effects – miniature effect, 8mm film, silent film, and time-lapse – enable impressive video recordings tailored to the shooting situation.

Geht es um die Aufnahmen von Fotos und Videos macht der Panasonic HC-V160 einen guten Job hinsichtlich der Bildqualität. Auf der anderen Seite muss man sich hier jedoch mit einem nur befriedigenden Klang abfinden, zumal auch die Ausstattung ein paar Lücken offenbart. Besonders leiden tut dieser Camcorder im Test jedoch aufgrund einer vergleichsweise schlechten Betriebsdauer, andere Kandidaten halten...
