The Panasonic HC-X2100 4K 3G-SDI Semi-Pro Camcorder blends broadcast-level performance with the mobility of a compact handheld body. Perfect for professional videographers, schools, event producers, and content creators, it delivers stunning image quality, flexible connectivity, and dependable real-world usability.
At its core lies a 1/2.5-inch Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) MOS sensor, powered by Panasonic’s Crystal Engine 4K processor, capturing crisp, detailed 4K UHD (3840×2160) video at up to 60 p. This combination ensures high sensitivity and low noise even in dimly lit venues, making it ideal for weddings, conferences, and live broadcasts.
The Leica Dicomar F1.8–F4.0 lens provides a 24× optical zoom (25–600 mm equivalent), with i.Zoom extending to 32× in 4K and 48× in Full HD. The result is smooth, distortion-free coverage across all focal lengths — from wide establishing shots to tight telephoto framing.
The 5-Axis HYBRID Optical Image Stabiliser (O.I.S.+) keeps handheld shots steady, while Ball O.I.S. technology reduces micro-vibrations, especially at high zoom. A Level Shot Function automatically corrects tilted horizons, ensuring polished, professional-looking footage every time.
For advanced workflows, the HC-X2100 records in 10-bit 4:2:2 with HEVC (H.265) or MOV formats, supporting flexible post-production colour grading. It also includes VFR (Variable Frame Rate) recording, HDR compatibility, and ND filters (1/4, 1/16, 1/64) for on-the-fly exposure control.
Audio recording is handled by dual XLR inputs with 48 V phantom power, supporting 24-bit Linear PCM and Dolby Digital formats for rich, professional sound. Manual level controls allow full control over input gain, while the built-in stereo mic ensures convenience on quick shoots.
Connectivity is where the HC-X2100 shines. It includes a 3G-SDI terminal for broadcast integration, along with HDMI Type-A, USB 3.0, headphone/mic ports, and LAN/Wi-Fi support for IP streaming (RTSP/RTMP). The dual SD card slots enable relay, simultaneous, or backup recording for extended reliability on long shoots.
The camera’s ergonomic design includes independent manual control rings for focus, zoom, and iris, a 3.5″ touchscreen LCD, and a high-resolution 0.39″ OLED viewfinder. Built from durable magnesium alloy, the body is both lightweight and rugged, ready to handle demanding production environments.
Whether you’re shooting events, corporate content, or live streams, the Panasonic HC-X2100 gives you professional control and 4K precision in a package that’s ready for the field — without the bulk or complexity of larger broadcast rigs.
