And the best thing is the price: $400 lower than the Sony RX10!!!
Digicameinfo just shared that image of the new Panasonic FZ1000 super zoom camera. And the real amazing thing here are the specs which seem to say: Kiss my butt dear Sony RX10 :)
Unlike the Sony it has a much larger zoom range of 25-400mm f/2.8-4.0 (vs 24-200mm f/2.8 from the Sony).
The sensor size is the same (1 inch) but the Panasonic records 4K videos too!

The new weather sealed Fuji 18-135mm XF lens and the new Sigma DP Quattro pricing could be announced next week.
We still don’t know what the big Fuji announcement will bring us on June 19. Fuji France promised us something unique…
via Fujirumors and Sigma-rumors.
This is a world first: The new Sony RX100M3 is in Stock at BHphoto (Click here). Grab it…or wait for the LX8 with 4K? :)
For once the Megapixel madness is over thanks to the new Sony A7s. And this allows you to shoot that kind of crazy low light stuff like the “candle-light” video you see here on top! Amazing!
Also Photoblog.hk posted two new videos: A Frame rate speed test (youtube video here) and an Autofocus test (youtube video here).
Sony A7s preorder in USA/CA at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Sony USA, Sony Canada.
Sony A7s EU pages: Sony DE, UK, ES, FR, IT, NL, BE, AT, CH, SE, NO, FI, PL. And Wex UK.
That would be really a huge surprise: 5 months after the X-T1 announcement Fuji will deliver a “hardware upgraded” X-T1b!
This is quite a unique thing and hopefully this will not upset the brand new X-T1 owners! I would really like to know why Fuji did hurry to deliver such an update camera. Fujirumors reports that little is known about the new features but one of them could be a higher resolution EVF:
LX7 and RX100 side by side (DSLRmagazine).
Rumors about a 1 inch sensor compact and fixed lens Panasonic LX8 camera are floating around the web for weeks now. And we already know that it will be announced on July 16, have a built-in EVF (just like the new Sony RX100M3) and keep the LX line look and size.
Now DR.Photorumor reports this little camera will also shoot 4K making it the smallest 4K camera of the world (with a larger 1 inch sensor or above).
Sadly this little wonder camera will come at a high price: $799!
