Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 20.1 Megapixel Bridge Camera, Black

I Pre-ordered this camera a few weeks after Panasonic announced it. I purchased it to replace my FZ1000. I'm glad I did. I do around 4,000 shots for a 2 day Drag Racing event. I specialise in slow shutter "Blurred Effect" I found it hard to do with the 1000. This is where the ND Filters come in. I will pan the car using burst and a shutter speed as low as 1/30th ND filter on, out of say 20 consecutive shots I hope to get at least 1 to 3 shots that are perfect. This camera is fantastic. I have sold images that are poster size with great image quality. If I'm in a difficult situation at a drag meeting where I need to raise the camera up high, I then use the 4k movie mode and extract some frames giving me an 8 megapixel image. That works wonders. So pleased with this camera. Though I wonder why that this camera is Panasonic's greatest secret. I have been searching through magazines for any articles on the fz2500 and I have not found a thing to this day. Rather disappointing that Panasonic don't want to promote their product. They are only interested in the G series. Maybe Panasonic will bring out a micro four thirds FZ series that will blow everybody's mind.. Food for thought, P

Mostly used on wildlife tour to date. It's fabulous - captures book print quality images that others with high-end DSLR cameras could only hope to match. Then there's the video capability - it stands apart even more. I love it and there's still heaps more to discover. It's so controllable and capable, even in the lowest light.
