Product Overview

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is an affordable 1″ compact camera with a large zoom range. Introduced by Panasonic in 2014, it comes with a 1" sensor with 20 MP (5472 x 3648) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.

The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. One should note that the Lumix DMC-FZ1000 has a 125 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The 12.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.

The DMC-FZ1000 comes with a fully articulated display and 49 autofocus points. Panasonic has endowed this compact camera with a 16x zoom lens, which can be quite useful for travels. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.
