Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ1000 Announced

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ1000 has just been announced, where it also holds the distinction of having the world’s first 4K video recording capability on a digital compact camera, now how about that for adding high end functionality into what seems to be an ordinary device? Thanks to a recently developed LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 16x optical zoom lens that has been integrated within, the DMC-FZ1000 is capable of achieving high resolution edge to edge, resulting in stunningly beautiful defocus alongside the large-sized MOS Sensor.

With a 1-inch large 20.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS Sensor, the DMC-FZ1000 is capable of dramatically improving S/N (signal to noise) ratio, allowing budding shutterbugs to capture a clear image with minimum noise, never mind that you are using a high ISO at that moment. In addition, the Venus Engine will also offer multiple noise reduction systems such as Multi Process NR, Random Filter and Aperture Filter, letting you end up with high color reproduction and high image quality with a natural look.

Thanks to the introduction of 4K (QFHD 4K: 3840×2160, up to 30 fps in MP4) video recording capability, you will be able to have solid footage for your future video edits to work with. All in all, the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ1000 does sound like a solid shooter for anyone to begin their photography hobby before “graduating” to more powerful and versatile shooters. [Press Release]
