I'm not going to lie I probably spent more hours researching for my first family video camera than I'll ever spend shooting movies on this one, but it's exactly what I had hoped for. We first used it for our wedding and reception(low light and loud music) and it blew away my expectations for what a home movie camera could look and sound like. HD quality on this completely surpasses memories I've converted to digital format about 30 S-VHS tapes my parents recorded our home movies (with another 50 to go.) I've spent quite a bit of time converting and compressing raw video-which is why I went with the HD format and not 4K; files are too big and take a lot of power to process. I'm not an expert but I learned a lot from my research. If you want some assurance from someone who has already spent the time to make sure you're getting your money's worth, I recommend you hit buy now and save the time.
Zoom-Good but stabilization and quality is great!
Low Light Scenes- better than you will ever care about as long as you capture the moment and this camera will.
-Microphone is good and can handle a wide range and good at blocking winds.
Con
wish it had a place for a neck strap loop, buts lightweight and fits in your hand well.

20x Optical Zoom with 4-Drive Lens System for Premium QualityThe Panasonic HC-V770 camcorder utilizes a 20x optical zoom with 4-drive lens system for premium picture quality. By driving each lens group separately, drive ranges are reduced to deliver high-image quality and high-powered zooming. It also keeps the body compact, even with a 20x optical zoom. |
HDR (High Dynamic Range) Movie Suppresses Blown HighlightsFeaturing HDR Movie function, the HC-V770 captures clear shots with excellent detail in both bright and dark areas. By combining two images taken with different exposure times, the HDR Movie function suppresses blown highlights and blocked shadows for crisper, clearer videos. Even in difficult shooting situations, such as backlighting, you can easily record true-to-life videos with excellent gradation. |
Wireless Twin Camera Uses Your Smartphone as a Sub CameraUsing your smartphone's Wi-Fi, you can shoot from two angles at the same time. And because you're shooting with two different cameras, you shoot from any distance or angle you choose for a variety of Picture-in-Picture images. |
BSI Sensor Minimizes Image NoiseThe BSI (Back Side Illumination Sensor) of the HC-V770 has a large effective area with 6.03M effective pixels, suppressing noise even when shooting in dimly lit conditions, such as indoor scenes or nightscapes.

A $600 disposable camcorder
Reviewed in Canada on July 22, 2021
I bought this camcorder at the beginning of the pandemic for two purposes: 1/ To shoot video for auditions and productions and 2/ For a good quality webcam for Zoom presentations, as it could output HDMI monitoring into an Elgato Cam Link (and webcams were scarce at the beginning). It seemed to do the job quite well on both and I was happy. One day the camera displayed "ERROR OCCURRED. PLEASE TURN UNIT OFF, THEN TURN ON AGAIN." I did that, and it seemed to work, so I did not think much of it. It happened another day a couple of times, then more and more frequently. Now it does it always and is unusable.Reviewed in Canada on July 22, 2021
I googled to see if I could solve it and discovered two things: 1/ There is no user fix - it must be sent back for repairs and 2/ Loads of Panasonic customers have had this happen.
This occurred barely out of warranty, i.e., just over a year. As you can see from the pictures, it was never abused - only two professional actor adults ever used it.
My 20-year-old Sony DCR PC100 camcorder still works as well as it did on Day 1. It is now my webcam device, connected to 10-year-old firewire technology. My cell phone now has become my camcorder.
Avoid this device - it is simply a very expensive, disposable camera/camcorder.
