It gives me pleasure to provide the review for an extraordinary piece of video equipment. I’ve had the delightful pleasure of Panasonic products not only on the road producing video but also in my home studio Theater. The quality of the video and also the sound it’s really superb as it’s well laid out and is easy to navigate the camera through the beautiful display. This truly is a great piece of professional video equipment that will not disappoint it makes it possible produce outstanding seamless video productions. Thank you for taking the time to read this review as I truly hope that it will provide insight and support producing video productions. Allan G

Es una videocámara profesional y los resultados son excelentes, aún en la resolución MP4 y 50Mbps. Si solo buscas una videocámara de apuntar y disparar, ésta no es para ti. Tiene las siguientes características: -Frecuencia, 59.94 Hz o 50 Hz (debería decir FPS), es decir, sistema NTSC o PAL. -Formato de video, MOV o MP4. -Formatos de Grabación para 4k y para 2k, ALL-I y LongGOP, 420 y 422. No todos los formatos soportará tu editor de video.
A favor: Gran calidad de imagen pese a tener un sensor pequeño (1/2.5″) Generoso Zoom de 24X Es de mucha ayuda los filtros ND que trae. La estabilización óptica es excelente. Excelente tamaño de pantalla LCD de 3.5 pulgadas con muy buena definición. La batería incluida es para 4 horas de grabación. Pesa casi 1Kg, pero en campo no se siente el peso. Tiene dos ranuras para tarjetas SDXC de hasta 128 GB cada una según el manual, y puede grabar en ambas al mismo tiempo, o en relevo.
En contra: En interiores con luz artificial, el Balance de Blanco Automático (AWB) sufre, la piel de las personas se ve magenta. Por lo que tienes que calibrar el color. No tiene un botón para que tomes una foto mientras grabas video, pero puedes tomar una instantánea revisando un video ya grabado. No incluye cable USB para pasar los videos a la PC. El manual dice que se debe conseguir por separado un cable mini USB, en realidad se debe utilizar un cable micro USB. También puedes extraer la tarjeta y usar un lector. El manual impreso que incluye es muy básico. No tiene un botón de reproducir, en su lugar tiene un botón Thumbnail para ver los videoclips y con el Menú, borrar uno o todos. Es un poco difícil ponerle el capuchón al visor. El visor electrónico no es tan grande como el de algunas cámaras digitales, digamos la Nikon Z 5. La lente no es muy brillante en Tele, va de f1.8 en el lado Wide a f4 en el lado Tele (hay algunas videocámaras que van de f1.8 a f2.8). Si quieres colocarle un filtro, tendrás que quitar el parasol. Para transferir los videos a la PC con el cable micro USB, cada vez tienes que activarlo yendo al MENÚ, opción OTROS, opción DISPOSITIVO USB, opción MODO LECTOR DE TARJETA, opción SI

I love this camcorder. It performs amazingly well despite its small sensor size. The image is digitally optimized and the 4K 60fps is wonderful. Some complain that low light performance isn’t great, and that’s true, and it does have an IR mode however it really needs an invisible IR light feature to make that super usable.
The camcorder has many pro features and settings so there is a bit of a learning curve. It does everything I want it to do and more.
And the add on handle that is included with the X2000 (it’s an add-on with the X1500) is also really nice. It allows me to record 2 different mics and match the levels on the fly and everything-no external mixer required!
Yes, I wish it had a larger sensor but performance-wise, as long as you have plenty of light, no one will be able to tell this from any other pro 4K video camera on the market.
If you thought camcorders were a thing of the past, think again. Highly recommended camcorder!

As other reviews said, the low light performance is not the best… But I did not get this camera to film night-time cave-diving. I mostly got this camera for the impressive zoom and the unmatched stabilization. I plan to use it for making travel videos and other scenarios that will tend to have plenty of light. In that regards, the built in ND filter is absolutely essential and has already helped me adjust for shots that would normally be overexposed. Battery life is also the best I’ve ever seen on a camcorder.
Other reviews have mentioned bad coloring or unbearable noise when using mic input. My unit has no such issues with colors not displaying correctly. It does have very minor mic noise on input, though it does not seem to be at the same unusable level others have stated. Any audio I capture will most likely have noise removal done during editing, so I do not see this as an issue. The built in mic has absolutely no noise whatsoever and is actually very good.
Full auto mode is pretty decent at getting shots, but this camera really shines in manual mode. Limiting the Auto-Gain-Control to 3DB or 0DB also works wonders with reducing/eliminating noise.
I’ve only scratched the surface of what this camera can do. I have no doubt that I will be impressed with every feature I learn in the future.

I’ve been using this camera for several months and I’m very happy. Although very low light levels outside or in a room make the image grainy, in normal to even somewhat low levels the video is outstanding in every way. The zoom on this is even more impressive something you don’t get even close too on 1” sensor cameras. Panasonic has also nailed image stabilization and I challenge anyone to show me better. The battery lasts all day (recording over 4hrs straight) and does not drain when the camera is stored for days. 4K video is absolutely beautiful way better than my previous 3 chip Panasonic and Sony. I fairly have to adjust the video in post edit as it simply is great out of the box so to speak. Don’t let reviews on YT or here steer you away as I was hesitant as well but very glad I did go with it.

The media could not be loaded.
As a full time cinematographer I needed something for all of the aviation videos I make at airshows but also for military squadrons. When other spotters started switching to camcorders I decided to give it a shot. The video above proves this camera can deliver cinematic results. All audio and video are from this camera and the still image was a screen grab from a video I shot with this camera when I did not have my stills camera with me. For aviation and what I needed this is one of the best cameras I’ve used for what I do aviation wise.

The image quality of this Panasonic HCx-1500 is incredible, in FULL DAYLIGHT. I video record wildlife in the great outdoors. But there are 2 big drawbacks with this camcorder…..
1-Low lighting conditions However, in those magical 10-15 minutes of dawn’s first light & last evening light, the camera sensor is inferior to adjust and film in Low Light conditions. All you will view is a black screen on the camera’s monitor. Auto or manual mode, no adjustments will capture quality video footage in these magic low light moments. Most animals appear in those precious first & last light minutes. At best, you get 40 minutes of the evening golden hour, the last 20 will be dark. Vice versa for the morning golden hour. Cannot use artificial lighting as this would alert and scare off the animals.
2- No remote controller available from Panasonic or any other 3rd party accessory seller that can POWER-ON the camera. There are accessory 3rd supplier remotes to start/stop recording and/or zoom in/out. But not to turn OR POWER the camera ON to start with. When on tripod, reaching up to turn on the camera creates an unnatural movement detected by wild animals…game over as the animals turn or run away from perceived danger when they see this movement. Panasonic claims an APP for iPhone will remotely control the camera but only is wi-fi is available….not in the great outdoors! Downloaded the APP to my phone and was very difficult to connect even inside a wi-fi available environment.
TWO improvements need to be made for my use. 1-Too bad there is no Bluetooth connectivity feature to your iPhone or other device for remote controlling. Camera was released new three years ago, but it seriously needs to be updated to today’s standards of Bluetooth connection ability. 2-The buttons on the camera need to be more of an outward projection, so you can feel the button without looking. Similar to the record button on the camera rear. It’s almost like the main control buttons are recessed. And it’s difficult to tell if you indeed pushed them to the ON position.

Other than shooting in extremely low light without a light source, the quality of the video is exceptional, with all the professional adjustments available on camera, it can be dialed in to suit any shoot. as I upgraded from just a consumer camcorder there was and still is a fair bit to learn about it’s full potential!
