New Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 Comes With Fast lens And 4K Recording Capability

Panasonic has just announced its Lumix DMC-FZ1000 superzoom camera, which features a 1"-type CMOS sensor, F2.8-4.0, 25-400mm equivalent lens and 4K recording capability.

The sensor is the same size as on Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 and also has the same resolution (20.1MP). The lens has a reach topping out at 400mm and uses Panasonic's Depth from Defocus technology, which promises faster focusing.

The FZ1000 features both a fully articulating 921k dot LCD as well as a high resolution (2.36M dot) OLED viewfinder. A ring around the lens barrel can be used to zoom or manually focus. A suite of manual controls are available, including highlight/shadow correction and in-camera Raw conversion.

The FZ1000 has the ability to record 4K video (3840 x 2160) at 30p, with a bit rate of 100Mbps. The high video resolution allows users to grab 8MP stills from a video clip. The FZ1000 can also record HD video at 1920 x 1080 (60p, 60i, 24p) and 1280 x 720 (30p). While there's a stereo mic built into the FZ1000, videographers can attach an external mic using a standard 3.5mm port.

In addition, the FZ1000 has built-in Wi-Fi and NFC. The camera can be controlled from your smartphone, and image sharing is easy, as well.

The Lumix DMC-FZ1000 will be available this summer for $899.
