Total score ? (maximal 570) | 412 | 358 |
| Pros | + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit + Many manual controls + 1080p50
| + Best image quality is at the limit of FullHD + Many manual controls
|
| Cons | - setting focus manually is a little complicated
| - fiddly operation - too small wide-angle - No Zebra - Manual focus very poor
|
| Conclusion | Not only does Panasonic offer 50p, it also brings enough wide angle (which even isn´t affected by the active image stabilisation), good low-light performance and colors, great sharpness and lots of manual control.(only 2D mode) | In this price class currently no rival offers better image quality and more controlsHowever, compromises must be made in terms of wide angle and in the handling, especially the focussing. |
