Panasonic HC-V800
A quick review of the Panasonic HC-v800 camcorder compared with a Nikon D7200 DSLR when used in low light conditions.
Both cameras are fitted with a 29mm lens, both are using the same lighting. The Nikon is set at ISO25600 and the Panasonic on HD mode, I've also got a Hoya Digital UV filter fitted to both cameras to act as a lens protector and both have a shallow shroud (to keep some water and dust off the optics)
The Nikon should be a lot better because of the much larger and better quality sensor, also the optics are better quality and has a larger front element. The downside: the Nikon was about three times the cost of the Panasonic.
The Panasonic is advertised and marketed as having a sensor that is larger than the average camcorder and is set up for low light filming - should we take a look at just how the two compare in the lead mine?
