Panasonic HC-X1500E Black 4K Camcorder

Overview

The Panasonic HC-X1500E Black 4K Camcorder is an excellent choice for aspiring filmmakers, whether shooting for leisure or professionally. At its launch, this camcorder stood out as one of the most compact and lightweight 4K60p models, making it ideal for photographers frequently on the move. Despite its small size, Panasonic has incorporated impressive features to ensure quick yet precise filming.

Equipped with a built-in zoom lens offering 24x optical zoom, the HC-X1500E provides a focal length range equivalent to 25-600 mm (35mm). This makes it versatile enough to capture close-ups or distant action with ease. Using the digital i.ZOOM, the zoom range extends to 32x while maintaining 4K quality and up to 48x in Full HD. Even at maximum zoom, the Hybrid O.I.S. ensures steady footage by combining optical and electronic image stabilization.

The camcorder supports internal recording in a 10-bit 4:2:2 profile, delivering exceptional detail and vivid colors. You can record UHD in 10-bit at up to 29.97p and Full HD at up to 59.94p directly onto an SD card. Additionally, the HC-X1500E enables live streaming in Full HD via RTSP/RTP/RTMP/RTMPS, allowing you to broadcast events instantly on platforms like YouTube and social media.

With a built-in Wi-Fi module, the camcorder can be remotely operated using the HC ROP app on a tablet or smartphone. This includes remote control of the lens, enhancing its flexibility. A small yet effective fan keeps the camcorder cool during 4K60p recording. Designed to be both quiet and energy-efficient, the fan ensures uninterrupted performance without impacting your recordings.
