Great camera with a couple of very minor flaws
0 of 1 found this helpful I graduated from the Panasonic HDC-HS900 to this model (HDC-WXF991K) as I wanted to upgrade to a 4K camera for improved quality. Difficult to give an in depth review - I've only had it a few days. However, it has performed as expected - the video quality is very good. It is lightweight and that's good - stability (OIS) appears to have improved from the HS900 model. Haven't used the p-in-p camera yet and probably won't, except out of interest to see how it works. Also I tend to keep an external microphone attached to the camera at all times (improved sound quality) - unfortunately the cover of the mount just flaps around at the side of the camera - I'm apprehensive about inadvertently catching it on something (e.g. when camera is pulled in and out of bag) and snapping it off. A sliding cover, into the body of the camera, would be preferable. By comparison with the HDC-HS900, which has an inbuilt 220Gb hard drive, the WXF991K stores the data on SD card, which will add about another $100 to the purchase price if you go for, say, a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128Gb.
Generally I like the camera a lot and am glad I've made the upgrade.
