I am still without an interchangeable lens camera, although I have tried a couple; but they didn't stick. The G15, S95, and FZ200 are still here; but seldom used. Flash with the FZ1000 is much better than the G15, although I did change to a Metz 50AF-1 to replace the Olympus 36R I had in 2015. All the Canon flash gear is now gone.<br />Because of the success with the FZ1000, I did get a Canon G7X II for a pocket camera with a fast lens and a similar 1" sensor. It effectively replaces the G15 and S95; and for travel makes a nice pair with the FZ1000.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938824791812834583.post-20295385177422564832020-01-03T20:11:13.063-08:002020-01-03T20:11:13.063-08:00That appears to be excellent however i am still no...That appears to be excellent however i am still not too sure that I like it.

Of the three, I'd pick the Leica.Carl Garrardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561256121516104816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938824791812834583.post-42310003696799316222016-09-13T00:20:02.697-07:002016-09-13T00:20:02.697-07:00Turn off the vibration reduction. :) Use a hot sho...Turn off the vibration reduction. :) Use a hot shoe mic :).Carl Garrardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561256121516104816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938824791812834583.post-52213867477154447192016-09-12T11:37:14.247-07:002016-09-12T11:37:14.247-07:00Hello all.

I know this is a late comment regarding this neat camera, but I wonder if any of you have encountered and solved the much-commented-on-elsewhere deplorable motor/camera noise which is recorded during video shooting?

I had been looking at it for it's video capabilities and not much for photography, as I already had a good Canon DSLR set up for photos. I purchased the FZ1000 due to its 1" sensor, 4K video and high speed video capabilities. Then I took it out with me on a day trip. I started shooting on my Canon 60D but ended up shooting primarily on the FZ1000 and found it a joy to use. It is the best all-in-one imaging system/camera on the market in my opinion. Editing the photos, I was super impressed by the image quality. Even the battery life was better than I expected. One battery actually lasted me the whole trip. <br />The FZ1000 has become my favorite camera to use. I still love my 60D, but will probably shoot that less now unless I am looking to use my 150-500mm lens for bird/wildlife photography, or need an artsy shot with a prime lens. <br />My boss at work loves the camera as well and is thinking about getting one(I work for a small video production company) as well as my fellow editor is thinking about getting one as well. I am so happy I ended up getting the camera and I really think Panasonic hit it out of the park with this camera. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well priced, high quality imaging option.

I totally agree with your review and assessment of this amazing camera, which I've used non-stop since. It really changed my approach to photography and I am having much more fun again with the endless possibilities this camera creates. One other shortcoming that wasn't mentioned--short battery life. But the batteries are so small, it's easy to carry extras in a pocket.

I had already made the decision and placed the order; but your review made me feel really good about my decision. Call me impulsive; but I've already sold my DSLR and lenses. The one area you didn't touch on was the capability for wireless control of off camera flash. Once I'm sure it's a keeper, I intend to buy a remote capable flash and do a shootout against my G15 with the ST-E2 transmitter and a 420EX flash. If the FZ1000 is equal or better, I'll sell off the Canon flash gear (save for a 270EX for the G15) and get a second flash for the FZ1000. I already have a radio remote and a Panasonic cable for it.<br />An added note: your reviews on the G15 and the S90 cover two of my favorite cameras (I have the S95 with the Franiec grip) along with the FZ200.<br />Thanks for a great review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938824791812834583.post-72528080559414489312015-01-31T18:09:05.465-08:002015-01-31T18:09:05.465-08:00Mine is in the mail.
