Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 4K Video

4K resolution video – a brand new concept for the mainstream just a couple of years ago, like Greek yogurt – is now one large step closer to mainstream status itself. The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera is a big reason why.

With an $897 price point, Panasonic might be tempting even casual videographers to dip their toes into the 4K pool, while camera buffs surely will notice the 16x Leica DC Vario-Elmarit zoom lens. That lens offers a 35mm equivalent focal length of 25-400mm. Other features include built-in integrated smartphone Wi-Fi pairing for remote control, 20.1MP still photos, a 1″, High Sensitivity MOS sensor that captures still images up to 50 fps, an expandable ISO range up to 25600 for bad lighting conditions, and the ability to snatch 8MP screen grabs from your 4K footage. Take your first shots of some cherry Fage for true symbolism. [Purchase]
