Everything Specs
If you asked yourself if you can get a decent digital video camera for under $1000, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is here to give you the answer and it’s positive! Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 boasts a great 20.1 Megapixels sensor which is capable of recording the 3840 x 2160 pixels (Video), 5472×3648 (Image) resolutions, but you can still get a better one for the price given. When it comes to design, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 isn’t an ugly camera, but it’s way too robust for its own good. It’s heavy and it definitely isn’t for everyone’s hands.
The viewfinder, however, is great here with its 2,359k dots and a decent 1024x768p resolution and it’s probably one of the better viewfinders for this price point. So, does Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 live up to its expectations? Sure. It’s a great camera in this price range, although it will be easily surpassed by Nikon or Canon at this price.

This camera looks great and i like to keep it on my table where i can see it every day and use it when i want. I use it whenever i go outside to capture some amazing photos and record 4K videos. The shutter speed is great here and 20.1MP sensor is more capable than you think.
