    PANASONIC LUMIX FZ1000 4K Point and Shoot Camera, 16X LEICA DC Vario-ELMARIT F2.8-4.0 Lens, 21.1 Megapixels, 1 Inch High Sensitivity Sensor, DMC-FZ1000 (USA BLACK)

    • White balance tends to lag quite a bit
    • Mainly using this camera to shoot kids and airplanes, I've had the following observations: - wish I had a little more telephoto reach, like 600mm - equally wish for slightly wider than 25mm, which is a bit cramped indoors (but that's where the LX7 comes in) - however, this combo of lens, sensor, and body is a trifecta for most uses - no problems getting my shots in any lighting condition short of black -- even the focus in low lighting is exceptionally fast and accurate - focus is crisp and this camera can catch the fast movements, but when I'm fully zoomed in, the sharpness falls off ever so slightly - I'm puzzled by why Pana left of the electronic ND filter, although i could go old-school and thread one on the end - the colors out of the camera seem spot on -- particularly impressive are the very natural redsThe high resolution, articulated, BIG LCD display is a huge improvement over the antique-looking FZ50's LCD, and very good even outdoors in bright daylight (though still tough to see when washed direct sunlight)
    • Overall I had a great time with this camera, but having stuck pixels a few weeks after warranty expired is a bit of a letdown and will probably keep me from buying another Panasonic camera.
    • The long lens is crisp through the mid sections of the zoom, suffering a bit in the corners with chromatic aberration at wide angle and full telephoto
    • n’t be sorry!
