I am very pleased with my Panasonic DMC FZ-1000. I am not a professional photographer although I have had a couple of different DSLRs and wanted something simple but with a lot of options and good lens quality. So far I have been very pleased. I took some indoor real estate photos and used the HDR feature. I am really looking forward to trying out all the options on the camera. So far I am very pleased.

This is a good value only if purchased for well below the retail price. The menu system is less than intuitive and the controls are unnecessarily complicated. It feels fragile and is not dust or moisture proof. (It is no match for the Sony RX10 IV.) Beware, internal motor noise is audible in ALL video shot using the internal microphone!

This is an amazing camera. I upgrade Panasonic cameras every few years and this replaced a FZ200 which was already amazing. A bit larger physically and a shorter zoom, but the additional pixels allows a similar zoom equivalent. The larger sensor makes a big difference in low light and the “focus peaking” is really helpful in macro shooting. One huge improvement for me is the dedicated drive where I can set the shutter release to 2 seconds and not have to reset it on each shot while I take tripod mounted shots of dioramas I construct. Haven’t had time to experiment with the Wi-Fi or the 4K video yet. The advanced, Included owners Manuel pdf is one of the best ones they have done yet. Not only is the Table of Contents and Index linked, but each page has links to other pages and it’s easy to understand. It’s all you need to understand the camera features. The book and pdf by Graham Houghton is not as well organized, not as clear in parts and has no index or links, but does cover many other shooting methods and accessories not in the manufactures pdf.

This camera is very comfortable and easy to use. It takes very sharp pictures and has many great features. It is now my favorite camera. I think the only thing I would add would be a touchscreen.

While it is not a small camera, it is much lighter than a similar size SLR. I am very pleased with image quality and ease of use. There are numerous settings and features but it's easy to just start shooting and get good photos.
