Panasonic FZ1000 shooting 4K

@ VaderVideo

Yes, you can make time-lapse as well as Slow motion with it.

"Supposedly GoPro will introduce some high frame rates in the "4th" version "
Do you have insider tips of this? :)

"4K (3840x2160) video at 30p, 100Mbps MP4
1080p at up to 60p, 28Mbps (MP4 or AVCHD) "

Is that mean 4K has much higher Mbps (100Mbps MP4) than FHD video? Very strange to me. Can you explain this?

Good to see the filter size 62mm, I should order a filter first cause it take long time ship from China!

Hope it's available in Germany soon!

Probably in July, cost around €800-

Just beware of the crop factor. As far as I understand from the articles I browsed, it gives you a 37mm effectively in 4K video. That comes close to my old HV20 (a great little camera for its time though).

I wonder how the 4K will perform in comparison to the GH4. Surely, Panasonic won't be putting similar quality 4K in two new cameras that are so far apart price wise? Otherwise I'll have trouble justifying my GH4 purchase!

I'm not a Crack for technical belongings, but i'm sure they must lower the price to enlargen the market. Isn't it always that the first few new cameras are major expensive, and with more available models the prices run down quickly?
I sadly remember my Sony PC110E DV Camcorder which i buyed for ~ 2000.- € and spend again the same for an underwater housing. Short time later HD came and although the first models were not payable in very quick steps HD became standart and all my DV underwater videos which i made within 150 dives are only well for remember that i've done it! ;)

Thanks Stefan!

I remember my old HV20 too, I put a Raynox 6600 on to increase the wide angle to around 24mm.

Will see...
