Ever tried to capture a live event with a phone and ended up with shaky, low-detail video? You need a camcorder that stays steady, records true 4K at 60p, and fits in a backpack. Panasonic delivers that with a compact body, 24x optical zoom and a high-capacity battery that keeps you shooting for over six hours. No more missing the moment because the gear is bulky or the footage looks amateur.
