  • NegativeShort battery life
  • NegativeLean sound

The HX-A500 is way ahead in terms of video quality. What ultimately costs the action cam a better grade is the poor sound, the low battery power and the lack of functions such as GPS.

  • PositiveFull HD with up to 50 fps
  • NegativeTwo-part concept
  • NegativeComfortable to wear Pick-up module

The Panasonic HX-A500 turns out to be an unusual action cam winner. While the competition packs a lot of technology into a small box, Panasonic relies on two modules - but this limits the range of applications. On the other hand, we were impressed by the crisp video recordings in Ultra HD and the extensive features.

    With the HX-A500, Panasonic is primarily targeting sports and leisure film-makers. However, the videos from the perspective of the active person have a very special charm; rarely do you feel so much at the centre of the action.
