Customer Review

I had initially only given a star as the internal sounds of the camera, which can be heard on the video, is simply unacceptable. The sound is so extreme that in this configuration no decent shots are easy. The sound is something like this, like hearing a broken toilet flushing in the background, which runs continuously. Remedy, and this I would really recommend bringing an external microphone, but only one that is far enough away from the housing, for example this one:; ie = UTF8 & qid = 1423387293 & sr = 1-1 & keywords = EDUTIGE + + DUAL MICROPHONE
I have not tried it yet, but it'll do. A normal external microphone nutz very little, because the parts are so sensitive that Innengeräsch is so strong that the ext. Mike is still transmits. The 1m long et. Micro one is flexible, needs no battery support and can contribute to a lot of wind sometimes stuck into his waistcoat pocket.
For the poor audio quality 2 star deduction, be the must.
Now for image quality. I had previously, the Sony RX10, with whom I was very pleased. There were these audio problems are not, although I as outdoors in windy conditions also always ext. Had to put the microphone because it was useless otherwise. The picture quality was very good - thanks to the 1 inch chip is installed even when the FZ1000. I wanted to change because of the 4k mode FZ. And you have the Cam admit that the image quality is very good, we consider that we are in the consumer sector. Low noise, with natural but bold colors knows how to please the Cam. And the 4k mode, only Pal 25fps, is better in any case, ie high-resolution than the FHD setting of Sony RX10. So if you like 4k, should rather resort to FZ1000. But one has to say that really only good shots can be taken with a tripod. That's in the 4k mode of Gopro 4 Black exactly fast movements are punished with blurs. When it comes to push the FZ suggests the RX10, the zoom is twice as large and the light fall to 4.0 still manageable. Just look at times since the values ​​of other Cams, also the GH4. The owners of GH4 are now crying out and refer to the better picture quality. Maybe, but for me the objective of GH4 too faint. And for that the cam is too expensive, because I'm sure that next year come out the models with 50 / 60p, then 4k fun and interesting. In 4k mode, the FZ is taken up in 100 Mb / sec, which did not even make the Consumerflagschiff from Sony, the Sony FDR AX100E. Here are some photos that I've done on the 2nd day, sometimes they are exported from the films: [...] Note: the link was Amazon is deleted. But look at the comments, at the very end, because the link is preserved.
The FC has very many settings, is a true art monster in a positive sense. So who wants to record in 4K, is ready to buy an external Micro and filming with Staitv for which Fz is interesting. Higher solutions must be paid expensive because cost lenses as much as the whole FZ loose. And the FZ can also shoot photos, and also which makes them very good for their segment.
Positive
- Very good image quality in video (use 4k above all very sharp, rich in detail, color fidelity). Use 4K necessarily stand, and when panning, then very very slowly
- Very good photo quality. The photos can also be the highest of expectations. Those who want even more, very much more money must spend
- Lens: wobbles nothing (at the Sony RX10 wiggling the tube 2.8-4.0 brightness, this value is quite ok (compare times the light values ​​of GH4 lens) Of course, photos and filming with increasing Zoom is blurry here helps post (... Photo: Lower Graduationskurve; Video: gamma and contrast)
- Einstellubngsmöglichkeiten: outstanding, an incredible amount of potential, what the "ordinary people" not all will use.
- Display and viewfinder: very good quality. No touch screen? I do not mind, get along very well with the many settings cope. The display of the FZ I feel easy to use than the seemingly fragile the RX10
- Housing: Man nitpicks "plastic bolide". So what, that does not bother me, the workmanship is good
Negative
- Audio, internal sounds are recorded when shooting, absolute "Nogo". Outside, other noises it falls on not quite as strong, but in silence sdehr unpleasant audible. The only remedy is external microphone with cable, as well as an ext. Micro the hot shoe absorbs the noise.
- No way to charge the battery internally. Is not so bad, if not would be added that I have to settle for additional battery change the tripod plate always quick.
- Only 25p at 4k, no Umstellmöglichkeit to NTSC 30fps, Sony has better resolved
Conclusion: for a little over 700 you get almost the "egg-laying Wolfmilchsau" in this segment can hold a candle for this price no camera FZ. Not even the RX10, at least when 4k is an option.
Outlook: I'm assuming that come out the first consumer cameras with 50 / 60p in 2016. Then the films is really interesting in 4k. But then, many the same to buy a new PC, at least a new graphics card.
