Smartphone, camera, camcorder: who shoots the best videos? We tested camcorders and compared them with other devices for filming. The results are surprising. Camcorders used to be the first choice for shooting private videos. Now they have strong competition, for example from smartphones...

Product details
Against the backdrop of rapidly increasing streaming options, the LUMIX BGH1 is a camera designed for professional broadcast transmissions, offering easy installation and high expandability, including multi-camera control. This allows it to cover a wide range of use cases from live streaming to network control, as well as operation on stabilizing gimbals or in combination with multirotors. The LUMIX BGH1 records internally in C4K/4K resolution with 4:2:0 10-bit color depth, available in either 60p or 50p. The new LUMIX BGH1 features a 10.2-megapixel Live MOS sensor with Dual Native ISO technology and the Venus Engine as its image processor. Typically, increasing ISO sensitivity leads to more image noise; however, with Dual Native ISO technology, the sensor of the LUMIX BGH1, similar to Panasonic's professional Varicam models, is read out via two separate circuits. The body of the LUMIX BGH1 is made from an aluminum-magnesium alloy, making it both lightweight and robust. Thanks to the new cooling concept, the camera has no length limitations for video recording. Therefore, it offers two SD card slots that can be used either as a backup in parallel or for longer recordings sequentially.

- The camera delivers first-class video recordings and very good image quality, which is only limited by the deliberately low ten-megapixel resolution. The housing offers many connection options.
- Photographers lack a photo function that also works independently of the computer. The lack of an integrated LCD monitor or an included battery further limits the camera's areas of application.
The BGH1 is an excellent video camera based on Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds hybrid cameras (such as the GH5S). The limitation of the photo mode exclusively to computer recording is annoying. As a professional video system or as a film recording device in a home vlogger studio, however, it plays to many strengths...
