Ideal for capturing action-packed 4K sports, events, or documentary footage on-the-go, the Panasonic HC-X20 4K Camera with 20X Zoom is a top choice. Boasting a sizable 1 Inch 15.03MP 4K sensor, this camera is capable of producing premium-quality, professional-grade videos at resolutions of up to UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) in 10-bit 4:2:2. Additionally, it offers the ability to record 1080p in VFR (variable frame rate) in 10 increments ranging from 2 to 60 fps and even allows for super-slow-motion HD video recording at up to 120 fps. Other key features include high-speed AF with face detection, a brighter monitor, UHD 4K image stabilization, and built-in Wi-Fi.

Whether producing event or ENG-style videos or live streaming, the 20x optical zoom power of the lens starts from a wide 24mm equivalent FOV for shooting in tight spots or grabbing impressive establishing shots, and it extends out to 32x i.Zoom for getting in tight on far-away subjects. The X20 also features built-in Wi-Fi that allows you to live stream via RTMP/RTSP so you can stream using popular content providers such as YouTube or Facebook Live. You can also wirelessly remotely control the X20 using a tablet or smartphone with a free-to-download Panasonic app.

Ergonomically, the X20 features a compact handheld camcorder body with plenty of customizable control buttons for quickly accessing essential functions. When handheld, the sharp OLED EVF is within easy reach, and a high-bright 3.5" touchscreen is offered for monitoring and menu control; and both can be used simultaneously. Waveforms and scopes can be displayed to aid in exposure control. Atop the handgrip sits a large zoom rocker for precise zoom control. Lens functions can also be controlled manually using the three lens rings, one for focus, one for zoom, and one for iris. A 5900mAh battery for powering the X20 is included, along with a charger and a power supply for fixed-position operating.
