Thanks so much for posting this video. I am looking to switch from the Panasonic to the Canon so it's incredibly useful to have this. IMHO the Panasonic lens is fantastic, as is the stabilization. However its picture and sensor to me isn't as nice as the Canon from this video, plus other canons I have used. The Panasonic audio metering is also terrible and the audio noisier than others but it's hardly a pro camera to be fair. Such a shame as the optics are great.
Obviously, the Panasonic is better for stability and the Canon looks to have a better image quality on your tests, but maybe the Panasonic could be made better in post? I film a lot of bands using various camcorders and as I do a lot of handheld shots on the telephoto end, stabilization is important. I use a Panasonic VXF990 that probably uses the same stabilization as the F1 that is good, but I also use a GoPro, and a Sony AX53 that is excellent, however apart from the problem with the fact that you can't set the shutter speed and the iris independently on the Sony there is one really annoying thing that bugs me, and that is the auto focus is very slow and "seriously" bad under certain "contrasty" conditions that makes the footage unusable, and the manual focus is a joke. The Canon does "seem" to have better audio on your tests but that may well be how the setting was put into the Panasonic's audio settings? as it was just louder with more wind noise. The sound doesn't bother me as I use a separate audio recorder and only use the camera audio track to sync it in post. I just want one camcorder that can do all of the things that I need, as long as it's not too big and heavy!
I wish I had cane across your video before buying the G50. I do aviation videos and the G50 video stabilization isn't good with fast motion panning and zooming when handheld. I agree the image quality and sound is superb. I had the AX53 until it broke on me and may go back to it but the panasonic seems to have great stabilization that could work well for handheld aviation video
Thanks for the video. I'm looking to purchase a camcorder for my podcast and been researching for weeks. Narrowed it down to 4 and was hoping to get some advice on a final decision. I narrowed it down to the Sony FDR-AX53, Panasonic HC-VXF1, Canon HF-G50 and Canon HF-G60. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching. I owned the ax53 for a while as well. i have never the owned the G60. The sony any Panasonic are close in alot of ways. If its just for indoor shooting on a tripod the sony may be a bit better for low light.
Saludos! La Canon VIXIA HF G60 es de lo mejor que puedes encontrar en su rango de precios. Por temas de presupuesto solo me puedo comprar la Canon VIXIA HF G50 pero tan pronto como pueda voy a actualizar a la Canon VIXIA HF G60
The Canon seems like it has better image quality. Besides the size. What areas do you think the Panasonic is better at? I'm looking at those vs the ax43 or jumping up to the Pana X1500. Can't decide. Thanks
Panasonic has better low light . I have a video that shows that. panasonic also much better image stabilizer and wider angle lens. . . I had Sony ax53 for over year. Its good all round. Panasonic has better image stabilizer then sony. Audio is the same. Sonys low light might be s bit better.

so which one's better in your experience ?
The Panasonic is much better overall.
Canon has the better sensor, ISO is better but stabilizations sucks!
Imagine GoPro start making "normal" cameras and camcorders.
I am surprised they have not yet. Apparently they have a gimbal camera in the works
That canon camcorder is faulty, it sounds like it;s blowing a gale
yes none of the branches or grass are not moving!

I also had the Sony ax53. The image stabilizer on the panasonic is much better.

The cannons image quality and sound is much better.
Yes its definitely aa trade off in many ways.
