You'd be forgiven for being as confused as I was upon hearing that Panasonic was releasing two new budget camcorders. After all, isn't this 2025, not 1995? Proving that the best camcorders are still in demand, the Panasonic HC-V900 (2K resolution) and HC-VX3 (4K) launched late last year to minimal fanfare.
I've been reviewing camcorders for years and have been using them in a home video setting for decades. It's more common to see consumer-focused camcorders being discontinued rather than launched. So, why has Panasonic launched these new models, and why would you buy one over the best camera for video?
