This camera replaces my DSLR EOS7D. Did not regret it!

Customer Review

I photograph for 35 years with SLR cameras, since 2003 with DSLR (EOS 300D, 450D, 50D, 7D).
"The best camera is the one that can be taken anywhere." This was not my last DSLR, the 7D.
With the Canon L lens 4 / 100-400 I have very good experience, is just very difficult, but made 90% of all recordings so. Possession (even) five lenses, but used except for the heavy 100-400 otherwise only the Tamron 18-270 lens as Universal (with significant qualitative swabs of course).

The FZ1000 is all upside down !!!

Clear is an L 4 / 100-400 still a bit better, but this piece is not that big. Only the Bokeh of FZ1000 is clearly inferior. Comparisons of the FZ 1000 with a FZ72 (60x zoom) and a Canon SX260HS show very large differences. The image quality of FZ1000 with 16x zoom reach my opinion to ISO 1600 loose the level of the Tamron 18-270 EOS7D! '

The vast majority of DSLR users who plan or any "Always top" lens as the 18-270 or 16-300 now brand new kit lenses. The image quality of these wagons the FZ1000 holds with loose. In my 18-270 I had always blurs and quite violent chromatic aberrations. In my FZ1000 I recognize no chromatic.

When I with an "Always top" buy a cheap DSLR, the Panasonic FZ1000 is more favorable, but can do much more!
The weight should then be about the same.

As already described in other posts:
- The autofocus is very fast, yet had no DSLR that there can smell them,
-. Just as the continuous shooting speed with processing, even in RAW is incredibly fast, not only in the prospectus,
- 4k videos are stunning (albeit with mild focal length 37mm -...)
- The lectronic viewfinder is the first to convince me. That's why I long myself clinging to DSLRs, because I want a viewfinder. My finder on the FZ72 is useful but poor worlds.
- The adjustment is extremely broad, and many function keys freely assignable
- With the free ImageApp (IOS and Android) is real tethered-shooting possible via WLAN. Many settings can be made from eg iPad, also the motorized zoom, manual focusing even with a magnifying glass. Genial!
- Operation and feel are much better than my EOS7D me
- Monitor folded and swiveled
- Eye sensor in the viewfinder mode
- AF examined primarily in the eye motive for focusing
- Remote controllable via remote socket (I do with a GigaPan Epic 100 gigapixel panoramas)
- When it comes to creative photography the FZ1000 has more on it than most DSLRs
- I find the picture quality to ISO1600 outstanding and even very low noise. The sharpness is excellent at all focal lengths and fall mE at the telephoto end is not noticeably (as usual in many Supoerzooms the case)

The only complaint:
- There is a lens cap supplied with eyelet, but the clockwork is missing to back up at the camera and I could find none on the web (except those Anklebdinger that are good nix). It just takes a little longer because of the Tele clockwork and the sun visor. Hab 'me then even a handicrafts from all over thin paraglider leash ....
- That the camera body is made of plastic does not bother me.
- The SD card is (solved every time the tripod ...) only from the bottom can be removed, but that you can also live

This camera is a real DSLR alternative for those who do not several times a day change their lenses and can not afford very expensive lenses anyway or want such as the Canon L-series.
Well done to Panasonic. The FZ1000 is a real picture-quality drive in a bridge camera.
For example, press photographers and ambitious beginners the ideal equipment and unbeatable for anyone who does not want to carry around so much gear, from a camera but requires considerably more than one notches.
I would buy it immediately.
