Introduced the new Panasonic FZ1000 superzoom evolved , rival Sony RX10 in the still narrower range of premium superzoom. Sensor to an inch and a video shoot in 4K. Panasonic has announced a new Panasonic FZ1000 superzoom, the camera that arises as a direct competitor of the recent Sony RX10, but with some features that make it superior in some ways and other close relative.
One of the factors is the proximity sensor by an inch diagonal and over 20 MP is very similar, if not identical, to that of the recent Sony RX10 and the same RX100 III; according to some sources would have been just Sony to Panasonic supply directly to the sensor to assemble the camera, and also there is no official confirmation. Another aspect of proximity is that it is a superzoom premium, even if Sony surpasses the rival for the fact of having a constant aperture diaphragm of f/2.8 at all focal lengths.
The Panasonic FZ1000 instead of f2.8-4.0 lens, so no constant aperture, focal length an extension is justified by broader, almost double, with a zoom lens that goes from a 25mm equivalent until you reach the 400m. The 16X zoom, as in other products Panasonic, Leica is branded with the Japanese company that has a historic collaboration.
A detail of great significance from the point of view of marketing (and functions) for the Panasonic FZ1000 is the ability to record movie 4K – option absent on the Sony model. This makes Japan the first compact camera is even if you have a superzoom lens, to have the ability to shoot movies in 4K.
The processor also handles movies in full HD at 100 frames per second. The software enables the extraction of 8-megapixel shots from movies. The camera has a viewfinder Panasonic digital high resolution (2359 points), and an OLED screen 3-inch 921,000 dots and bright and faithful reproduction of the scene being shot.
The sensor is much larger than that of a compact camera, which typically find in other superzoom, even if it is half of a micro four thirds sensor and about 30% compared to an APS-C sensor, typical of the class DSLRs. In any case, even if only for physical size, this crucial component should be able to provide images of superior quality to those of the competitor which are placed in the entry level of the market.
Also noteworthy is the manual control of focus, the sensor NFC, Wi-Fi and an app service. The dimensions of the Panasonic FZ1000 are definitely generous, equal to those of a DSLR of medium-size and significantly higher than those of the direct rival.
Sony has had the merit of presenting some innovative products sharply in recent months, but it seems that now the rivals are following in the wake of the Japanese company, with products on paper to rival if not exceed the founders.
