Pros & Cons
Pros
Lenses are interchangeable, so you don't need to buy a new camera. The leica lens is a great addition to the camera. The zoom is great and aperture is good, making this a great camera for family portraits.
A deeper buffer is a welcome addition for continuous shooting when capturing raw+jpg. Highly recommended for travel when there is space/weight limitations. The pictures and footage taken from the camera's 1 inch sensor at 1080p@60fps, and 4k@30fps are... Read More
The fz1000 ii reviews seem to gloss over some of the more subtle differences. Even the most subtle nuances are dead-on. Pristine image detail.
The command dial more closely replicates my ilcs. The font is slightly smaller so that the number of pages is reduced. Both are useful functions that are available without burrowing into any menu.
In the rec menu, when the camera is configured for auto focus flexible (aff) or auto focus continuous (afc), an important item has been added, af sensitivity. It allows selection of how slowly/quickly the af system will react before refocusing when so... Read More
Cons
This is nice if you still don't know how to clean the bandpass filter. Repairs were done by an outside service company presumably contracted by lumix. Panasonic refuses to send the camera to me. went back to store, swapped it for a replacement unit.
Picture quality is fuzzy focus, overexposed. Sluggish zoom ring and top dial. They are grainy no matter what i set it on! The zoom lens is just a cheap performing.
The problem with this one — for videographers — is that there is a loud motorized sound from the camera as it zooms and seeks auto-focus. The mic picks up the noise of the zoom motor pretty badly.
Highlights
Quality
I am extremely satisfied with the fz1000's quality.
I did not try the 4k video feature yet, but the 1080p video quality was also very good.
Finally, twice i encountered the camera freezing completely, with the lens stuck out, even when i switched the power to the off mode.
The 6d produces marginal quality video so i only use it for its low-light ability.
Price
The price was less a factor but happy to save the money compared to some of the cameras on my list.
Its price was reduced but it still qualified for panasonic's 3 year warranty program.
I was waffling on buying this for a few days due to the price.
Shipping
Thanks for the fast shipping and easy payment
I'd read it was slow but mistakenly assumed it was only slow when using the zoom button.

The location of the af/ae lock button on the fz1000 ii versus where it is on the fz1000 has changed.
There are other things that have changed in the fz1000 ii that i haven't mentioned here simply because i haven't had a chance t... Read More
Competitiveness
I bought this to replace my wife's samsung mirrorless dslr type camera.
If you’re a casual shutterbug on the fence about upgrading your pocket camera to a dslr or a superzoom, don’t hesitate to pick this up.
My near vision is a bit poor and carting around reading glasses to use a camera is what made me stop using my old t2i slr.
A few months ago, i bought a panasonic fz1000 that was a open box item.
