Panasonic HC-X1600E 4K Camcorder – Compact Professional Video Production

Description

The Panasonic HC-X1600E is a compact, high-performance 4K 60p professional camcorder designed for documentary, live events, ENG, and corporate video production. Sharing many of the same imaging features as the HC-X2000E, it delivers stunning 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording, professional I/O, and live streaming capabilities in a lightweight, travel-friendly form.

At its core is a 1/2.5-inch MOS sensor combined with a 25mm wide-angle Leica Dicomar lens, offering 24x optical zoom and 48x digital zoom (Full HD). You’ll also benefit from 5-axis Hybrid O.I.S., ND filters, dual SD card slots, and advanced recording formats such as HEVC, MOV, and MP4.

While the HC-X1600E omits the detachable XLR audio handle included with the HC-X2000E, it retains pro-level features, making it perfect for creators who want quality video in a more compact package—or for those who plan to use external audio setups.
