Panasonic FZ1000 prosumer camera, a bridge to DSLR

In the midst of fierce competition among mirrorless camera with DSLR cameras, Panasonic apparently remained consistent to develop the kind of prosumer digital camera. That's why Panasonic launched the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. It could be said that this camera is a blend of super-zoom bridge camera with quality in all aspects, especially the picture quality and a variety of features to produce photographs and excellent video quality, and FZ1000 answer these challenges, other brands can also be a rival.

It turns out that Panasonic has succeeded in getting the recipe and the solution: bright and high-quality optics, large 1-inch sensor. Not to mention the ability to shoot 4K video and the focus DFD which debuted on mirrorless Panasonic GH4. The Lumix FZ1000 exhibits very good results in absolute terms, which may well be considered to be excellent if we take into account that originate in a compact fixed lens.

Anyway, Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 is a superzoom prosumer camera. 

If you are a photographer who wants to transform into a professional filmmaker or videographer, the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 is the right tool for you. Why? The two most striking are the ability to shoot video Ultra HD 4K 25p (or Full HD video up to 100 fps) and the technology focus DFD (Depth From Defocus) . Two significant changes that have debuted on the little mirrorless GH4, and is now calling on a compact, at a price even more attractive: the list is about a little less than 900 Euro, but is already online at about 750 Euro.

The FZ1000 is based on a new CMOS sensor 20.1 Mpixels and 1 inch diagonal , which characterizes enormously this product. It is over 4 times larger than the classical 1 / 2.3 "typical compact / bridge, so it is expected that the signal / noise ratio much more favorable, as compared to the Micro Four Thirds format mirrorless Panasonic, the area is useful almost halved (about 1.8 times lower). The new quad-core Venus Engine, which provides the power needed for sophisticated processing noise, allows the FZ1000 to offer a maximum sensitivity of 12,800 native ISO , which can reach ISO 25,600 extension.

In addition, the most recent Panasonic is more powerful, has a higher resolution viewfinder display and a rear articulated more flexible, 4K video, and costs less. The Sony model is offered today at $ 999, and about 100 Euro gap on the price list are retained on the street price. What do you think?

If you want to have a new entry-level cameras in the DSLR category is not only a monopoly Canon or Nikon. You can still glance at mirrorless cameras with DSLR capabilities, you can even enjoy the unique comfort, because mirrorless cameras are generally smaller than DSLR cameras, and of course lighter, so convenient to carry go anywhere, also for a long vacation.

Well, if you still insist on choosing a DSLR camera, then you can compare the Canon EOS 1200D or Nikon D3300; you can even compare the two cameras with Pentax K-500. All three cameras have great features, fantastic processor and lens support or interesting features, and all cameras have APS-C sized sensors. The Canon’s is just a millimeter or so smaller than the others, but it's not enough to make any significant difference. Is the difference in size will also affect your decision?

Nikon D3300. Image: nikon.co.in

Is the resolution size, or the size of the sensor will also make you confused when choosing a new digital camera? 

Nikon D3300 has 24 megapixels, the Canon EOS 1200 reinforced with 18 megapixels, while the Pentax K-500 "only" equipped with 16 megapixels. Please note, the size of the resolution is in fact not everything, because many digital cameras only have 10 MP or 12 MP, as well as modern smartphones have been able to provide good photographs with a resolution of 5MP or 8MP. If you are not going to print your photographs or posters in giant size, then a camera with a resolution of about 10 MP has been very good to produce interesting photographs with the sharpness and brilliant color.

There is always a logical reason when you choose Canon or Nikon. In the famous website versus.com, Canon 1200D gets credit  because has a two-stage shutter is good for taking photos like a pro; apply pressure to the button in order for the lens to focus, and then press it fully to capture the photograph. Meanwhile, still according to the same website, one of the main reasons why many people choose Nikon D3300 because D3300 has 2 more focus points, 11 points, while the Canon 1200D is only 9, and Pentax K-500 has the same number of autofocus points as the Nikon, but 9 of them are superior cross-type sensors.

Just for your information; The more the focus points more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor is a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.

Nikon D3300 or Canon 1200D will make you calmer because these cameras use lens-based image stabilization systems. Both kits come with stabilized lenses, and many of their lenses that have been reinforced with stabilizer technology, so you do not have to worry when photographing moving subjects or take pictures in low light conditions, even under certain conditions you can ignore the tripod, so you are more comfortable when on holiday.

Although Nikon and Canon are gigantic and superior in terms of marketing, but Pentax is an alternative worth considering. Nikon D3300 and K-500 have 921,000-dot screens, though, where the Canon's screen has 460,000 dots. Basically the sharpness of the screen on all the cameras already quite bright, but displays the Nikon and Pentax will look crisper. If you are fond of photographing objects in fast motion, then the Pentax K-500 can shoot at 1/6000sec while Nikon D3300 and Canon 1200D at 1/4000sec. Meanwhile, the Canon EOS 1200D can shoot continuously as much as 3 frames per second, and as an entry-level camera Nikon D3300 turned out to be 5 frames per second, but the Pentax K-500 was able to take pictures in 6 frames per second in a single snap. 

                               Are you going to get confused to choose one of them? Image: digitalcameraworld.com

Nikon D3300, Pentax K-500 and Canon EOS 1200 could equally be used to create video clips or movies with a resolution of 1080p or Full-HD, but the D3300 has great color depth, 24.3 bits, so you'll get crisp impressions movie, especially when you turn on the HDTV.

Among the three sophisticated cameras, the Canon EOS 1200 is newer than the Nikon D3300 and Pentax K-500, but to choose a camera does not always have to choose the latest. There are other considerations you need to think about, for example, in terms of features and comfort, and of course the price of the product that you will buy.

In making a decision, you do not always have to rely on reviews on various websites, but you have to know your most important needs. Perhaps the forums about DSLR cameras can be a reference before you choose one of the advanced cameras mentioned above, or you immediately go reliable camera shops in your city.
