Panasonic AG-HSC1U Reviews

CamcorderInfo has a first impressions review of the Panasonic AG-HSC1U and writes, “The AG- HSC1U is marketed as a niche camcorder for professionals, and despite the fact that it records AVCHD video, we think there is a place for this unusual camcorder. Specifically, the mechanism-less design means it should be capable of operating without is hitch in extreme situations that would cause even tape- or HDD-based units to drop frames. The OIS system is truly impressive, and far outperformed anything we’ve tested this year, strengthening the case for the AG- HSC1U as an all-terrain performer. Flash media adds to the camcorder’s overall durability as it’s the most bomb-proof format commonly used on today’s camcorders. SD/SDHC cards are also easy to conceal, so it passing through hostile checkpoints is a concern, you can always seal your valuable footage in a rubber sheath and swallow it for recovery when the threat clears. We do not think AVCHD is a good consumer format at the moment due to its lack of broad support. … However, if you need a camcorder that offers the speed and durability of solid state media, industry-leading OIS, and are not turned off by the quirks of AVCHD, the AG- HSC1U is an intriguing and unique option.” Link.

IEBA reviews the Panasonic AG-HSC1U and wites, “Overall, this camera is difficult to work with and, with all its limitations, is only applicable in very specialized situations. More than likely, we’ve already used some other camera to shoot those situations and we’ve done just fine. The SD storage device is nicely executed, but about 2 years behind today’s consumer technology. With no screen or playback capability, you really have to wonder what all the fuss is about.
As a complete “professional” package, I feel it misses the mark completely.” Link.

CNET reviews the Panasonic AG-HSC1U and writes, “In well-lit conditions, the HSC1U produces clean, neutral images that will cut well with higher end cameras (though it should be noted that a great deal of professional HD shooting is done in progressive video, which this camera is incapable of shooting). It also deals quite well with both high contrast and low light situations, both of which are particularly challenging for small cameras. Low-light shots are remarkably noise free. Furthermore, considering how aggressively it’s compressing the video, artifacts are minimal even at the lower quality settings. Only in fast pans and tilts of highly detailed scenes could I detect some slight stuttering. At a resolution of only two megapixels, the HSC1U’s stills are nothing to get excited about.” Link.
