The editors didn't like
The body could use a second control dial for adjusting shooting settings
Battery life is very short when using the convenience features on the camera like WiFi
On the more expensive end for a pointnshoot camera
Larger than most ILCs (some may like this
Its maximum f/2.8 aperture is only available at its widest focal length. The plastic body and large lens makes it feel a bit off-balance. Controls and shooting options might be intimidating for some

Panasonic is taking on the high-end 1" bridge camera market and, to do so, has pulled out all the stops to compete with the Sony RX10 and a slew of under-£750 SLRs. From a versatile and perfectly stabilised zoom lens to lightning-speed autofocus and 4K vi...

Great image quality, stacks of physical controls, ample zoom and fast aperture, 4K video capture on board, 12fps burst mode, silent electronic shutter options up to 1/16,000th sec
It's big, expensive, pinpoint autofocus accuracy seems to lack, no physical aperture ring, f/4.0 maximum begins at 175mm, no built-in ND filter, less premium than Sony RX10
Although the Lumix FZ1000's physical size and price tag will be a barrier for more casual users, those it will appeal to will find lots of value for money in its jumbo feature set. From 4K video, to silent operation, fast 12fps burst mode, through t...
The camera market is as competitive as it's ever been. You can get an interchangeable camera for just $500, brand new. You can pick up an older mirrorless camera—with lenses—for just $300. And even brand-new DSLRs from Canon and Nikon are starting closer ...

Screen not touch, sensitive, Comparatively large
The Panasonic FZ1000 is an excellent bridge camera, but it's also rather large and expensive for the genre. Some potential buyers may find that they are better off buying an SLR such as the Nikon D3300 and a superzoom lens with a focal length range of 18-...
When you consider the offering of 4k video capture in such a relatively compact body, it's safe to say that the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 currently sits alone in the market. If you're looking for primarily a still camera then there are potentially more su...
Our first impressions of the Panasonic FZ1000 were good. The 4K recording may seem like overkill, especially for those without a 4K TV, but the ability to take stills from any 4K footage has incredible potential for shooting moving subjects.We loved the b...
