Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 compared to Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10

02 Jul

When it was introduced last year, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 was peerless. It was the first superzoom to offer a 1″-type sensor, much larger than the 1/2.3″-type chips commonly found in that class. It paired that with an impressive F2.8 constant 24-200mm equivalent zoom. Now the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 has joined the RX10 in this newly-minted category, boasting almost certainly the same sensor and a 25-400mm equivalent F2.8-4 lens. They line up nicely for a head-to-head comparison – and that’s exactly what we’ve done. Read more

Since its arrival in our office, the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 has hardly had a moment’s rest. The superzoom with a 25-400mm equivalent lens and 1″-type sensor is truly one-of-a-kind. We’ve put it through the paces of a first impressions review and taken it outside in some very un-Seattle-like weather for extensive shooting. In the process, we’ve assembled some hands-on photos of the camera so you can get better acquainted with the FZ1000. See slideshow

Up until now, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 was the only game in town for those seeking a big zoom camera with a larger-than-average sensor. Panasonic has thrown its hat into the ring with the Lumix DMC-FZ1000, which offers a 1″-type, 20.1MP CMOS sensor, plus a longer (but slightly slower) zoom lens. The FZ1000 is also the first compact camera to support 4K video recording. Perhaps the biggest story is the price: $ 899. We’ve gotten our mitts on a product model and have some initial thoughts to share. Find out more
