Everyone needs to apologize to camcorders. For the past few years, we have been giving mirrorless all the attention for their video specs. In that same time, companies like Panasonic continued to develop their camcorder lineups and, in my opinion, make better choices for video than mirrorless. One of the latest is the AG-CX10, and it claims the title of smallest 4K60 handheld camcorder. Thanks to a compelling feature set and spec sheet, I think it should be considered as a great choice for individuals looking to upgrade their video kit.
An Ideal Run-and-Gun Solution
Where camcorders have always excelled is in their all-in-one nature. Having a decent lens, pro audio connectors, and a relatively compact build make them perfect for run-and-gun shooting, such as documentaries, ENG, and events, for example. They often find themselves working on unscripted/reality TV, live streams, and films. They also pack broadcast-ready video specs. All of this is found in a single camera body that needs very little to get going. The AG-CX10, in particular, just needs you to plug in a mic and pop in an SD card or two.
One invaluable aspect of camcorders is the built-in ND filters. Sitting right behind the lens and with a simple switch operation, you can quickly compensate your exposure to the current conditions—no extra filters to carry around and clean, just a nice, simple switch with varying degrees of power and practically no effect on your image quality.
