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.

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.
