Not sure if you have a smartphone or not, but I use my Google Pixel phone for video. It takes HD video, with automatic stabilization, and the video quality seems to match most small standalone recorders you can get.

I bought a Canon Vixia HF R800 this spring and have been pleased with it so far.
It doesn't have the Wi-Fi functionality of the HC-V770K, but it has 32x optical zoom vs the Panasonic's 20x and costs only half as much.

The spec sheets say that the Panasonic HC-770K can record in High Dynamic Range (HDR). I didn't know that any consumer video did that. if it does that well. It uses a much larger sensor than the Canon to achieve that. Might account for some of its high cost.
