Should one wish to have the led video light and flash in the new set of accessories for this camera as a combined unit all

IQ was good in good light

Fourth, very very important, it's easier to take photos outdoors with your eye pressed against the viewfinder excluding extraneous light than it is with an LCD monitor, especially under bright sun

Full-resolution photos can be snapped at better than 5-per-second (in adequate light)

Yet should one wish to have the led video light and flash in the new combined model which costs less than buying them as separates for this model fz1000k camera , one may find themselves better off skipping the fz1000k and upping the camera model to the GH4 which allows use of the combined new DMW-FL580L

The low light not bad but not good in today’s standards

On the ends of my zoom range, the FZ1000 is softer and less forgiving of tricky lighting than my Canon lenses

This new largie Panasonic is the jack-of-all-trades; lighter than a DSLR, very good zoom as in a few older compact super-zooms (like the HX9V--still own that one but is very slow), takes very good-excellent stills, excellent video quality even in low light, great performance, good/familiar plastic body quality (mainly why it is cheaper than Sony's RX10), good-not-great f2.8 aperture, and the ability to record great sound with internal microphones as well as external one

It will focus and shoot quickly, take excellent pictures in good light.

the iPhone connected to the FZ1000, which sends a Wi-Fi signal (and adds a tiny glowing blue light where the Fn2 button rests above the Wi-Fi name printed near the thumb wheel)

I prefer the speed light over the built-in flash

Although (like virtually every camera) the 1000 works best when there's great lighting, and you use the middle of the zoom range, I've gotten decent image quality under stage lights, dusk, clouds, and indoors, using both ends of the zoom

so it's not possible to slow down motion in bright light like for a waterfall

Its not as good as the full frame DSLRs in low light, and even in bright light but its so close it doesn't matter much as long as you're happy with the builtin lens.- the integrated mic is actually pretty good too for.. an integrated mic- sdcard/battery door actually has a separate lock for the battery so you can switch sdcard without issue unlike what i read in reviews.- light

Proper lighting simply yields proper imagery

This possibly is a problem in bad lighting.

The reviews are right about this camera, it has 90% of the performance of a decent DSLR, low light ISO performance is very good to 800 ISOAnd in decent light

I have also signed up for a Camera Class not to learn the camera so much but to get better photos when the lighting is not ideal.

I knew the autofocus was fast in good light, but the darker conditions inside a convention center were no match for the FZ1000

Cameras love light (especially light you control), and having the ability to add a flash gives you much better dynamic range indoors and allows for better fills outdoors.

This is a little switch that goes back and forth.the camera is a bit bulky, but I'm not taking anything off for that, it's lighter than my dslr cameras and I like the heft in my hands

Really outstanding low-light shooting inside and out

This cam is very good at doing this when it is in automatic mode, yielding amazingly good hand held pix in poor light, at incredibly low shutter speeds like a quarter of a second, without a tripod, because of superlatively strong image stabilization, and this happens even at substantial zooms like 200mm.

but you can get nearly identical shots with good lighting and manual focus.

n’t be sorry!
