Panasonic has gone ahead and unveiled an exceptionally high-tech 4K camcorder, dubbed the Panasonic HC-X1, that is designed to make it easier than ever for videographers of all stripes -- but especially those working in professional settings -- to go ahead and capture extraordinarily wide images using a special 24-mm lens that is more than capable of offering 20x zoom.
The highlight feature of this particular 4K camcorder is certainly its Leica Dicomar lens, which will allow users to avoid the limited wide conversion lenses that are so widely used. What's more, the Panasonic HC-X1 also offers users the ability to control and monitor each of its four individual lenses separately in a simultaneous manner, allowing them to attain images of a clarity and precision that wasn't possible before.
This 4K camcorder is all about placing control in the hands of the user, something which will appeal to professional users.
