I bought this Camcorder from Amazon because I already had a Panasonic Camcorder – an HC-V210 – but I thought I would like a more up-to-date model. This HC-V785 was first available in the UK in August 2022, so it is fairly recent. Older camcorder models made for the UK market before Britain left the EU could not include a microphone socket unless they paid a royalty to recompense copyright owners under EU regulations. Now that we are out of the EU, that no longer applies, and you now can get a consumer-grade camcorder with a mic socket for a reasonable price. That’s where the HC-V785 comes in. Whereas the older Panasonic Camcorders include an installation CD, with these later models you have to download HDWriter AE 5.4. The instruction booklet directs you to HDWriter AE5.2, but that’s out-of-date, and it is AE5.4 that you have to download. The HC-V785 is not mentioned on the list of applicable models, but that doesn’t matter – just enter your serial number, which is on the box, as well as on the camcorder itself. This camcorder differs from earlier models in that it has a touch screen, better stabilization, and more options for the type of file created. This camcorder has better low-light capability than earlier models. An important consideration for those wishing to video things like Carol Concerts is the Stereo microphone input socket which means you are not dependent on the built-in mic. I have only made one video as of the date of this review. I can say the quality is excellent. The only drawback is you cannot close the door if you connect a mic! This camcorder is quite large and heavy and is more suited to indoor semi-professional use, such as YouTube videos than out and about. If you don’t need the mic socket and want a Panasonic camcorder, then a less expensive Panasonic model such as the Panasonic HC-V380EG-K will be just as good.

I took a gamble on this and I am glad I did.
I come from a photographic background but I found myself taking fewer photos and more videos; including all our holidays.
Over the years I have tried many cameras but the video always seems to come up short; unless I spend way above my modest budget and then it starts getting a bit ridiculous.
I love the design (apart from the fact that the mic input has to be unplugged every time the screen closes)!
Its lightweight, the focus is fast and actually holds much better than a camera, with unlimited recording time, no overheating, and rapid start-up times.
The benefit of this over a lower range model is the fact that it also shoots in MP4 format at 50mbps which gives lovely quality output.
Why choose this over the 4K version for just under 100 more?
The file size is much easier to handle with my editing program and I only shoot at 1080p 50fps anyway now.
The stabilisation is excellent – take a look at the sample video I have shot and see what you think.
All in all an excellent purchase for the family.
