Long recording, a real zoom rocker, and audio inputs a body lacks · review
A Full HD camcorder with a bright f/1.8 lens and a 24× optical zoom. The listing is the European HC-V900E, sold by a third party for about $825.
The HC-V900 pairs a 24× optical zoom with an f/1.8 lens at the wide end. Panasonic adds its 5-axis Hybrid O.I.S.+, which is what keeps a long zoom watchable when held by hand.
The model sold here is the HC-V900E-K. Panasonic uses the E suffix for Europe. The listing is a single-bullet entry from a third-party seller, Triplenet Pricing, and gives no US warranty or frame-rate details.
At about $825, this costs far more than a Full HD camcorder usually does. The Canon VIXIA HF G70 costs more but adds 4K, dual card slots and a US model sold by Amazon.com.
It suits a buyer who specifically wants this Panasonic and is comfortable with an import. Anyone else should compare the Canon first.

No. The model number is HC-V900E-K, and the E suffix is Panasonic’s European version. The listing does not state its frame rates or a US warranty, so check both with the seller.
No. It is a Full HD camcorder. For 4K with an optical zoom, the Canon VIXIA HF G70 on this shelf is the alternative.
It combines a moving lens element with electronic correction to reduce shake, which matters most at the long end of a 24× zoom.
At $825, it is the 2 cheapest of the 3 models in this category published here.
