In practice, the quality of the viewfinder is excellent and on a par with the best EVFs fitted to compact system cameras like the Olympus OMD EM1. Of course camera enthusiasts know that Sony’s been deploying its own 20.1 Megapixel 1in sensor in a variety of models including the RX10 and RX100 series. These include a Wi-Fi and an NFC on-board. Both cameras share what I believe is the same sensor, and both also capture 1080p video from their full sensor width, employing a non-integer scaling factor. If the camera’s mode dial is set to Aperture or Shutter Priority, you can remotely adjust the aperture or shutter speed respectively, and in Manual you can change both. The stabilization irons out all but the bigest wobbles during the pan and while the lens is zoomed to its maximum 400mm equivalent focal length. I zoomed the lens in to around 170mm and in aperture priority mode set f4 – the widest available aperture. The Lumix FZ1000 is fitted with a integral pop-up flash which is raised by sliding a small switch on the right side of the viewfinder housing. It’s just under 2 pound (1.8 to be exact) and 5.39 x 3.88 x 5.15 inches, roughly 2/3 the size of a full-sized Canon or Nikon SLR. The remaining battery life is indicated by a crude three segment graphic in the top right of the screen or viewfinder and the battery is recharged outside the camera in the supplied mains charger. At what point does the FZ1000’s lens begin to slow down optically below f2.8? Below which is a second switch for toggling the Power O.I.S. In either case a spare is going to be essential for anything other than casual shooting. For a smartphone / tablet connection, you should choose the first option for remote shooting and view. This profiles the out-of-focus characteristics of the lens to better determine where the point of focus lies. The headline specification of any super-zoom is of course its lens range and with the FZ1000, Panasonic wanted to offer something different to Sony’s RX10. I should also add that unless Panasonic allows you to configure the single lens ring for other settings in a future firmware update, there’s no silent adjustment options during movies on the FZ1000. If you fancy some fun, there’s a Multiple Exposure mode which can automatically combine up to four images. The FZ1000 can be operated using either its mechanical or electronic shutter. Annoyingly the RX10 isn’t one of Sony’s cameras which can support downloadable apps, so there’s no way to update the smart remote control facilities by this route. And though it’s a step up in terms of size and weight on earlier Lumix bridge superzooms, the FZ1000 still doesn’t feel quite as robust as the metal bodied RX10 – certainly it lacks the weather-sealing of the RX10, an important difference for those who intend to use either in inclement conditions. For comparison purposes I shot the same clip in UHD using the Cinelike D profile, and then again with the standard profile in 108025p. This new version offers a touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, Zoom Compose … Its large 1in sensor has over four times the surface area of the 1/2.3in sensors used in most bridge cameras, with an equivalent boost to image quality. Copyright © Dennis Publishing Limited 2020. This clip shows people people playing table tennis. It's not often that a camera comes along and totally shakes things up. The electronic shutter is automatically selected when the camera is used in Silent mode, which also turns off the flash, AF illuminator and all other sounds. Panasonic Lumix Bridge Camera Expert DMC-FZ1000EF (Large 1 Inch 20 MP Sensor, 16x Zoom LEICA F2.8-4.0, OLED Viewfinder, Swivel Screen, 4K Video, Stabilised) Black - French Version. Moving on, you can also use a connected phone or tablet to quickly browse the images in your camera on their bigger screens without having to copy them over first. There’s also a raft of other menu setting available in Intelligent auto plus including photo styles, image quality, and single or continuous AF selection. Like the RX10, the zoom control is smooth, but slow, making it fine for small framing adjustments, but if you quickly need to get from one end of the zoom range to the other you’re better off with the rocker switch surrounding the shutter release. Fn1 is slightly larger and sits proud of the surface making it easy to differentiate by touch from the smaller, flush mounted Fn2 behind it- a nice ergonomic touch. The autofocusing certainly feels fairly swift and confident, even given fairly low light levels it responds almost instantaneously, there’s still some searching particularly at longer focal lengths, but it happens only occasionally. For this tripod mounted panning shot I set the FZ1000 to its 4K mode which has a UHD resolution of 3840×2160 and is encoded at 100Mbit/s. The FZ1000 feels very solidly put together, it’s reassuringly hefty and the size makes for a very comfortable fit in the hand with a generous grip that provides enough room for the bottom three fingers of your right hand to wrap around without your little finger trailing off the bottom or your finger tips pushing against the camera body. The superb images produced with a large 1-inch sensor and all-new lens fully express the limitless depth and … The clip shown above was filmed at 800 ISO; for the higher sensitivities, check out my. A quick note for manual focusers: the FZ1000 offers the usual array of focusing assistance including peaking, and the ring on the lens barrel can be configured to adjust focus rather than zoom if preferred. Panasonic uses the Lumix brand name for a few different styles of camera that come in a wide range of prices, from $200 to $2,500. It’s also higher resolution than the EVF on the RX10, allowing the FZ1000 to enjoy the classiest EVF of its peer group – indeed the FZ1000’s EVF is identical to that in the flagship Lumix GH4. There’s also a menu option that allows you to turn off the info display to allow the output of a ‘clean’ signal via the HDMI port. For this low light shot the FZ1000 was set to the 28Mbit/s 1080p50 AVCHD mode. The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 is a DSLR-styled super-zoom camera with a 16x / 25-400mm range, a decent-sized 1in sensor and 4k video recording capabilities. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 Review Cliff Smith | March 6, 2020 12:32 pm GMT. The answer is in fact very quickly. The FZ1000 outshines the Sony RX10 in this respect, though the RX10’s bracketing is itself pretty good, it provides three frame bracketing at 0.3, 0.7, 1, 2 or 3EV increments, or five frames in 0.3 or 0.7 EV increments with white balance and DRO bracketing also available. Like the Lumix GH4, there’s a release mode dial on the upper left surface, complemented by the main mode dial on the upper right side. This is a massive improvement on the RX10's 1.4fps performance in the same test. The FZ1000's sensor has the same 1in size and 20-megapixel resolution as the Sony RX10's – most likely it's the same sensor. The FZ1000 is equipped with a fully-articulated 3in screen and a high quality electronic viewfinder for composition; I’ll start with the latter. The Lumix FZ1000’s mode dial has a business-like design with all the shooting modes represented by a white icon against a black background. I’ll start with the 4K option. Here’s what you get with the Miniature effect applied. I set the aperture to f4 and manually set the sensitivity to 125 ISO. Neither camera's screen is touch-sensitive, but that's particularly disappointing in the FZ1000 considering how effectively various other Panasonic cameras use their touchscreens. The Panasonic FZ1000 is currently the only ultra-zoom to capture 4K video and it adds a number of derivative features such as continuously buffering 12 MP images at 30 FPS to catch fleeting moments, called 4K Photo Mode. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is a formidable still and video camera thanks to a big … How is Panasonic getting 4K UHD from a sensor when Sony can’t, or won’t? There’s a dioptre adjustment wheel on the left of the viewfinder housing and a small switch to pop up the flash just above it. The FZ1000's screen is hinged at the side, which allows for a greater range of angles than the RX10's tilting screen. In the High speed mode (H), the FZ1000 fired off 185 frames at a constant speed before slowing appreciably. The FZ1000 handles the tricky into light section of the pan with the bright water reflections very well. For most situations though, I found the FZ1000’s viewfinder a pleasure to use though if I was to make one criticism it would be that in very low light it tends to get quite noisy. The range of the mechanical shutter is 60s to 1/4000 plus a bulb setting with a maximum of two minutes. I then used the timelapse function on the playback menu to generate a video in-camera, setting the quality to 4K25p and the frame rate to 25fps; the other options for PAL region cameras are 1080p50, 1080p25, 720p25 and VGA 25fps. From what we’ve seen of the sensor specifications and the results of my quality and noise tests for this review it seems more than likely that the FZ1000 and RX10 share the same sensor, although as noted above, only Panasonic is managing to capture 4K video from it at the time of writing. And the RX10 lacks the FZ1000’s support for upload to sharing websites. Processing speeds are excellent, start-up times are quick, and the burst shooting modes are capable. By contrast, the Sony RX10’s battery is charged inside the camera using either the supplied mains charger or one of your own, or by plugging it into a powered USB port on a laptop or other device. The camera inherits whatever the movie quality is currently set to, but only supports a maximum of 1080p for the miniature effect, so no in-camera 4k miniature movies. You can upload directly to Facebook, Twitter, Picasa, Youtube, Flickr, but there’s two gotchas. All in all it’s a very well thought through, practical system which is easy to configure. These are flexible and powerful features to have at your disposal, and if your phone or tablet is additionally equipped with NFC you can simply hold it against the FZ1000 for a second and they’ll sort out the Wifi network selection and password entry for you, making the whole process much quicker and easier. In my tests, the FZ1000 only offers f2.8 at 25mm. So what difference can you expect in quality? On the FZ1000 you can shoot in PASM exposure modes, although without a touch-screen or click-free controls, there’s no way to silently adjust the settings while filming. Plus while you miss out on the widest coverage, you do gain extra reach at the telphoto end. For continuous autofocus and live view you’ll need to drop to one of the two slower continuous modes at 7 or 2fps. In a departure from the usual convention the Intelligent Auto mode position isn’t red, as on the FZ200, but white like all the others. Opposite is a view I filmed with both cameras in their 1080p / 25p modes using Aperture Priority at f4 and their base ISOs. All words, images, videos and layout, copyright 2005-2020 Gordon Laing. 4K video capability. There is however another important difference between their respective lenses: the FZ1000 employs a variable aperture which starts at f2.8 at the wide-end and ends at f4 at the long end. We're not referring to the Panasonic FZ1000, though. Compared with the earlier FZ200, the Lumix FZ1000 is a step up in terms of size and weight. The clip was shot handheld with stabilisation enabled. The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 is a DSLR-styled super-zoom camera with a 16x / 25-400mm range, a decent-sized 1in sensor and 4k video recording capabilities. by Jim Fisher Sep 27, 2014. As you can see from the table below, the FZ1000 does an excellent job of keeping the truck in focus throughout the sequence and there’s no doubt that the DFD focus technology, which profiles the out of focus characteristics of the lens, enabling it to move close to the point of focus before the contrast detect AF fine tunes, is having a positive effect here. For 1080p video, the FZ1000 takes the full sensor width and scales it down to 1920 pixels using a non-integer factor of 2.85 times. They both have high-resolution 3in LCD screens, too. I’m delighted that Panasonic has equipped the FZ1000 with 4k and 1080p slow motion capabilities rather than just saving them for its highest-end models. Both cameras are substantial, weighty affairs, but the plastic FZ1000 can't match the luxury of the magnesium alloy RX10. It’s big, bright and the image is nice and stable though inevitably when panning there’s an ever so slightly perceptible lag. Key Specifications. By comparison with the Lumix FZ1000, the Sony RX10’s Wifi implementation is fairly basic. If you’re really not keen on using the screen at all you can set the blank option, which uses less battery power than permanently switching to the EVF as the viewfinder then only becomes active when you put your eye to it. The GH4 is the same in this regard, although with a lower resolution 16 Megapixel sensor as a starting point, the field of view isn’t reduced as significantly. But to be fair, f4 isn’t exactly shabby, especially as the FZ1000 maintains this to a focal length twice as long as the Sony. Instead you’ll need to adjust the aperture using the thumb dial on the rear which while pleasantly tactile, will click audibly as its turned. The RX10’s hotshoe can also accommodate an external flash, but Sony offers a host of other accessories, including a variety of LED lights, external microphones and even supports Sony’s XLR-K1M adapter which not only includes an external microphone but XLR jacks for other professional mics. In addition to 1080p50/60, the MP4 modes are 1080p25/30, 720p25/30 and 640x480p25/30. off. Panasonic recommends using an SD card rated at Class 4 or faster for AVCHD, and UHS-I Class Speed 3 (U3) for the 100Mbit 4K UHD and 1080p / 100p / 120p modes. The one thing the screen won’t do though is respond to touch. The remote control feature is really neat, showing a live image on your phone or tablet’s screen and allowing you to take a photo or start or stop a video recording. On the opposite side of the body there’s a port for an external stereo microphone, but the FZ1000 lacks the headphone socket of the RX10. With this specification, the FZ1000 is clearly going up against Sony’s Cyber-shot RX10, a high-end bridge camera which also has a 1in 20 Megapixel sensor. RAW shooting was at 9fps, slowing to 1.4fps after 12 frames. This clip tests the Lumix FZ1000’s continuous Autofocus. Intelligent Auto can tell if the camera is on a tripod and set a slower shutter speed than for hand-held shots and when appropriate it also automatically sets face/eye detect autofocus, backlight compensation, and intelligent ISO, i.resolution, and i.dynamic to enhance images with either additional sharpness or contrast. To be fair though, neither does the RX10, so they are the same in that regard, but again the FZ1000 enjoys the extra benefits of a fully-articulated screen and a higher resolution viewfinder. The RX10's 8.3x zoom range gives a fair amount of flexibility but it isn't what people expect from a bridge camera. If you’re in a situation where you want to be able to see the EVF image the second you put your eye to it pressing the Fn5 button toggles between the EVF and screen displays. This releases a spring-activated mechanism which pops the flash forwards an up, raising it well clear of the body and lens barrel. As I mentioned earlier, the FZ1000 has no fewer than five programmable function buttons labelled Fn1 to Fn5. So you can pinch to zoom-in a little, but not as much as if you were viewing the original. Further customization is provided on the Q.menu itself. There’s no sound captured. To test the continuous autofocus on the Lumix FZ1000 I set the focus mode to AFC using 1-Area focussing mode and set the burst mode to M, the fastest available speed with continuous AF, shooting at roughly 7fps. Note there isn’t an option to crop the photos into a 16:9 aspect ratio, so if you’d like this shape for your in-camera time-lapse videos, you’ll need to remember to set the photo aspect ratio to 16:9 first. The FZ1000 also lets you assemble a time-lapse sequence into a video at a later point using the playback menu. In some respects it’s closer to a DSLR than its bridge super-zoom heritage might lead you to expect, though of course it has a fixed lens. Overall, the only thing that could have been better was uploading direct from the camera to online services, but to be honest the more I test connected cameras, the more I think this is a red herring and that the actual getting online part is best left to your phone, tablet or computer. on. It’s reassuring to find Panasonic deploying the DFD technology outside of the Lumix G series; it implies we may see it on many models in the Lumix range. If you’re creating a new connection you can choose from ‘remote shooting and view’, ‘playback on TV’, ‘send images while recording’ or ‘send images stored in the camera’. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The 9.1-146mm zoom on the FZ1000 delivers a 16x range, equivalent to 25-400mm. No fewer than three of the new filters are monochrome variations – Monochrome, Rough Monochrome and Silky monochrome join the existing Dynamic monochrome giving you the choice of four ways to produce in-camera black and white effects. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 review – Introduction Panasonic has a long history of delivering high quality video performance across its digital camera line-up. Most of the effects can be adjusted in some way, usually by means of a slider to adjust colour, or in the case of the black and white filters, tonal reproduction, contrast or graininess. Both modes allow for background defocus – changing the aperture and shutter speed combination to produce more or less depth of field, but Intelligent auto plus also allows exposure compensation and colour balance adjustment using the rear thumb dial. There’s a slight lag of about half a second or so which is enough to cause you to miss a quick shot, but on the whole it’s not something that bothered me overly. The Depth from Defocus (DFD) technology isn’t enabled for movie shooting, but the FZ1000 does a respectable job nonetheless. Below is an example of how 1080p compares to down-converted UHD and native UHD. It also provides ample room for the FZ1000’s myriad of physical controls, but before I get onto that there’s one more important size comparison to make, and that’s with the Sony RX10. Shooting mode, photo style, flash mode, movie mode, image size and quality, focus mode and battery life are displayed along the top; with metering mode, aperture and shutter speed, exposure compensation and remaining card capacity along the bottom. Below you can see examples of Old days, Rough monochrome, Silky monochrome, Cross process, Toy pop and Bleach bypass. If you’re interested, you can download my. There’s only one control wheel, a rear thumb dial, but in its favour it’s much larger and more tactile than the tiny wheels deployed on earlier Lumix cameras – a very welcome upgrade. The Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 offers multiple connectivity options that help photographers to transfer the images from the camera to a mobile phone or tablet. The Time Lapse Shot timer can record up to 9999 frames at intervals from one second to a second shy of 100 minutes, and you can delay the starting time by up to 24 hours. The lens is also fairly bright, starting out at f2.8 at the wide-end and ending at f4 at the long end. 25-400mm is a versatile, highly practical zoom range. The fastest continuous shooting speed using the mechanical shutter is 12fps. Stabilization. This was thanks in part to spectacular autofocus performance, typically taking a tenth of a second between pressing the shutter button and capturing a shot. Both use scene detection to help determine the correct exposure, choosing from a selection of nine scene modes including portrait, macro, handheld night shot, baby and sunset. The Lumix FZ1000 may not sport the constant f2.8 focal ratio, built-in ND filter, headphone, stepless aperture ring or XLR options of the Sony RX10, but I’m guessing many videographers would happily sacrifice these for the ability to shoot 4K UHD or slow motion 1080p. It typically took about 12 seconds to copy an original JPEG from the camera to my iPhone 4S from a distance of about 1m; it’s not possible to copy RAW files though. All rights reserved. But even with that taken into account I think it’s clear to see the native 1080p footage can’t compete with the down-sampled UHD in terms of detail, resolution and absence of scaling artefacts. Finally, if you like the way the FZ1000 switches between the EVF and screen but don’t like how it sometimes happens accidentally, there’s even an option to alter the sensitivity of the sensor. The FZ1000’s continuous AF does a pretty good job of switching focus from the close up copy cup to the flower and then to the bar. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is a super-zoom camera featuring a wide-angle 16x zoom lens equivalent to a focal range of 25-400mm, a 20.1 megapixel 1-inch MOS sensor, a 3-inch … It was the Sony RX10 that broke the mould for bridge cameras. Read honest and unbiased product reviews … For silent adjustment of exposure during filming, though, the RX10 definitely enjoys an advantage. I zoomed in a little and in aperture priority mode set the widest available aperture – f3.3. The FZ1000 lacks the Sony RX10’s aperture ring control and that will doubtless be a drawback for some, particularly pro videographers. We can only speculate over that, but what I can do is show you what the FZ1000 is capable of. Returning to the coverage for a moment, it’s also worth noting the FZ1000’s 9.12mm widest actual focal length is a tad longer than the 8.8mm of the Sony which, given they share the same sensor size and aspect ratio means the RX10 delivers a fractionally wider field of view in practice. If you’re thinking of upgrading from the FZ200 – trading in the earlier model’s constant aperture longer zoom for a bigger sensor, better viewfinder and more capable video among other things, be prepared to get a bigger camera bag; the FZ200’s dimensions are 125x87x110 and it weighs a mere 588g. At 26mm it slows a fraction to f2.9, then to f3 at 30mm, f3.5 at 57mm and finally to f4 at 175mm all the way to 400mm. A stunning all-round talent, the Panasonic FZ1000 excels both indoors and out, Sensor resolution: 20 megapixels, Sensor size: 20 megapixels, Viewfinder: electronic (2,359,000 dots), LCD screen: 3in (921,000 dots), Optical zoom (35mm-equivalent focal lengths): 16 (25-400mm), 35mm-equivalent aperture: f/7.6-10.8, Weight: 834g, Size (HxWxD): 99x137x137mm. The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 is a surprisingly fast camera. The Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ1000 II ($899.99) is the follow-up to the FZ1000, a bridge camera that's now been on sale for five years. Panasonic Lumix camera prices. I’m perfectly happy with this move. Expert Reviews™ is a registered trade mark. It’s G-series of CSCs has … Autofocus is also extremely sophisticated. As I wanted some of the stills for another project, I shot in the native 3:2 shape. 100% crop, 9.1-146mm at 146mm 80 ISO 1/25th I.O.S. Vari-angle LCD. You can also choose whether to copy images in their original resolution, or in one of two smaller versions. The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 II is an updated version of the 5-year-old FZ1000 bridge super-zoom camera. There’s also a standard hot shoe for fitting an external flash and the built-in flash can be used to wirelessly control compatible Panasonic external flash units like the DMW-FL360 and DMW-FL580. More interestingly, the FZ1000 exploits the defocus DFD technology first seen on the flagship Lumix GH4. The number of AF areas has increased from 23 to 49, and the camera now supports eye in addition to face detection. The Lumix FZ1000 employs a 100% contrast-based AF system which Panasonic claims is quicker than the FZ200 in practice. The Panasonic FZ1000 II is a 20-megapixel long-zoom bridge camera aimed at enthusiasts. Panasonic … The 16x zoom range may be shorter than the 24x of the FZ200 or 60x of the FZ70 / FZ72, but the new FZ1000 boasts a 20 Megapixel / 1in type sensor with around four times the surface area of those models, allowing it to deliver lower noise and a wider dynamic range, not to mention higher resolution. To return it you just push it back down. But in practice, for still shooting at least, I don’t think it’s an issue, you quickly get used to pushing the FZ1000’s thumb dial to switch between aperture and shutter in Manual mode. As illustrated in the diagram opposite, the cropping results in a significantly reduced field of view compared to shooting still photos at the native resolution, but the benefit is a complete absence of scaling, thereby allowing the 4k mode on the FZ1000 to avoid the undesirable moire artefacts of most cameras. The inclusion of a large high sensitivity 1in 20.1-million-pixel MOS sensor puts the FZ1000 a cut above in the point-and-shoot camera class. … The FZ1000 provides excellent auto bracketing options for a bridge super-zoom with up to seven frame shooting at intervals from 1/3 to 1 EV. A Custom Multi mode lets the focus area be defined as a horizontal or vertical line or even a freely assignable array on a 7x7 grid. Another thing to consider is that at the full 400mm telephoto the maximum aperture available on the FZ1000 is f4 (in fact, as I noted earlier, the lens actually closes to f4 at 175mm). If this bothers you there’s an option to increase the refresh rate from the default 30fps to 60fps though at the higher rate the battery will run down more quickly. Like the RX10 it lacks a touch screen, which will disappoint some people, but the number of controls and degree to which they can be customised go a long way to making up for it. Importantly it has four times the surface area of 1/2.3in sensors, allowing it to maintain lower noise levels and a higher tonal dynamic range, giving it a big step-up over the FZ200. For me this is a better option as it provides a variety of options for charging that don’t rely on a proprietary charger. Excellent (4.5) Bottom Line. To be fair though, the only cameras I can think of which do have a browser to accept terms and conditions are Sony’s Wifi-equipped models. If your phone / tablet doesn’t have NFC you need to press the Wifi button on the camera (by default assigned to Fn2 on the top of the FZ1000) and either create a new connection, or load one you’ve previously configured.
