Panasonic DC-FZ1000 II

The first edition of the "station wagon" Panasonic DC-FZ1000 fell in love with a huge horde of enthusiastic photographers. And 5 years after its announcement “to the people”, the assignee of the camera was released with the designation “II” at the end of the model name.

Thumb sensor

The camera has got an inch image sensor with a resolution of 20 MP. Together with the Venus Engine, it provides high quality pictures when shooting at ISO up to 1600-3200. In general, the native sensitivity range of the matrix is measured within 100-12800 ISO units (with the possibility of hardware expansion).

Fast optics

As optics, the ultrazoom uses a high-aperture Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 25-400mm f / 2.8-4.0 lens with a built-in optical stub. When shooting video, a hybrid 5-axis stabilization system HYBRID OIS is connected to help in obtaining a smooth picture. A regular lens can replace a whole set of interchangeable optics in one person, while providing decent image quality throughout the entire zoom range.

Advanced Management

From the outside, the Panasonic DC-FZ1000 II is virtually indistinguishable from any entry-level DSLR. However, the true face of the camera is given by a non-replaceable lens with a 16x optical zoom and an electronic viewfinder on the back of the body. It is also proposed to be sighted on a 3-inch screen on a swivel hinge with touch control support. As part of the traditional controls, the model is equipped with two scroll wheels and many programmable buttons.

4K video

Videos on the camera are written in resolution up to 4K with a frame rate of 30 fps. However the operator will have to be content with the image crop. You can refuel the filming process remotely using the services of an over-the-air smartphone. Finally, in terms of battery life, the Panasonic DC-FZ1000 II battery is strong enough to take about 350 shots.
