  • Features are consequences of internal reorganization where all resources and top developers are transferred into premium FF line.

  • Wait they're making a FZ1000 II? After making an FZ2500 that was the successor? Isn't this like releasing a G7 II after the G85?

The 16x optical LEICA zoom lens gives you a 35mm camera equivalent of 25-400mm, making it perfect for everything from scenic photography to distant subjects. The newly added Zoom Compose Assist assures, that you do not lose your subject when it suddenly leaves the frame.

Additional specifications include the following:

    • Photo Styles for creative , including the newly added L.Monochrome D mode for enhanced monochrome images.
    • Bluetooth Low Energy (4.2) and Wi-Fi connectivity (IEEE802.11b/g/n) for instant sharing via Panasonic Image App.

    • High-speed burst shooting
    • 4K Photo and video to capture the fastest movements.

    To complement the high sensitivity sensor, the FZ1000 II has been equipped with a quick start-up time and an ultrafast autofocus of approximately 0.09 seconds. A burst rate of 12fps (AFS), plus a high-speed (electronic) shutter sporting 1/16000 seconds round off this package.

    LUMIX’s famous 4K Photo capabilities help you get the shot in difficult situations. Fleeting moments can be captured at a stunning 30 frames per second, giving you the option to choose the best frame later. A newly added Auto Marking feature helps you to find the right shot quickly and easily.

    Other exciting 4K Photo functions include Post Focus, Focus Stacking and the ability to combine multiple images for a fun “stromotion” effect.

    Video enthusiasts can record stunningly smooth, high-resolution QFHD in 3840x2160 pixel resolution at 30/25/24p.

A high-speed and high-precision 0.39-inch OLED Live View Finder has a 2,360k-dot resolution and 0.74x magnification.

  • @Vitaliy unbelievably they didn't shoot in 4k. But as far as I can tell, there's one major upgrade for video on this camera, at least according to specs at pany uk, and that is it doesn't crop in 4k, which both the mk i and the fz2500 both unfortunately do crop...to about 34mm or there abouts. And it supposedly has improved it's zooming as well. And the additions of the b&w modes might? make it a worth while improvement over the mk i.

  • have to eat my words....panasonic are complete dumbaxxes. Sony still rules the 1"sensor world....

    Strange so strange, I guess the one good news from this is if anybody wants to buy a FS1000 mk1 on eBay then the mk2 should help hurry up the price drops on eBay if the FZ2500 hadn't already pushed it done enough for you to buy a FZ1000
