Lumix FZ1000 vs FZ2500 

hi, do you think for photos was better fz1000 or fz2000? many forums says that fz1000 was much sharper than fz2000....

Yes those 2 key points were missing from the video, yes the fully articulated viewfinder comment made me laugh

The external mic does work in 4K on theFZ1000. Since video is important, I would go with the FZ2500. You can record video at a higher bit-rate, and you have the headphone jack out so you can monitor your audio with the FZ2500.

Yes it does!

Yes, only the fz2500/2000 has a built in time-code function!!

Thank you!

It is not a camera for shooting weddings professionally, unless you're doing it for fun.

@@chloescanlon1107 Spot on. That's APS-C and FF territory. The new Nikon Z6/7 is on my wish list.

Luis, I've used the FZ1000 in quite a few situations (including events such as weddings) and at the wide end of the zoom range, the FZ1000 (and FZ2500) has an f/2.8 maximum aperture and does fairly well in low light (though it requires pushing the ISO a bit higher than you may prefer, resulting in lower quality images). When you zoom in, however, the FZ1000 moves to a max aperture of f/4 (the FZ2500 to f/4.5) which hasn't worked too well for me when shooting in low light. My solution is to carry a Panasonic GX85 body ($300 used) with a low light prime lens (such as the Pansonic 20 1.7, 24 1.7 or 42 1.7) and that works out very well. I shoot with both cameras rolling at the same time (the FZ1000 for the wide shot and the GX85 for the medium/tight shot) holding it on a 2-camera bracket. See videos about putting 2 cameras on one bracket here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CDG5819slec.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KAb6Q3GLJGM.html

I will be taking more photos, not much video.

Bring spares, pretty average battery life

No, they are not interchangeable.

I use a gimbal to record the church service but a Manfrotto tripod head is better

I am such a dork! You are right, actually extra 80mm. I'll add this in the description. Thank you

I think the FZ2500 because of the Touch Screen focusing. It will allow you to quickly shift the point of focus if the camera locks on to the wrong subject.

Hi, Brandon, see my comments above, and i would totally agree with Suzette`s comment!!

We shot a wedding ceremony with the FZ1000 in 4K and I believe it was about 40 minutes. We did have the monitor off and no zooming while shooting. My gues is the FZ2500 is the same. Shooting 4K allows you to "zoom in" in post. If you need longer continuous recording time, you can use the AC adaptor or Tether Tools has the Case Relay that lets you use a USB power source to power you camera. www.tethertools.com/product-category/power-management/case-relay/

Thanks for the info. Have you used one of those Relay Coupler devices? The Panasonic FZ2000 is 7.2V and the external packs all seem to be 5V, so not sure if it would work?

We use it with the GH4/5, also 7.2V. the Relay adjusts the voltage and also stores a little bit of power so you can swap out the battery should you need to.

NO it is not. The I believe the FZ300 is.

@@crustydog1666 You are right the FZ300 has very good weather sealing. I got it over the FZ2500 I rented both and the FZ300 the lens was sharper and faster focusing.

I use the FZ1000 for my music videos. It looks so clean .. here's an example , the real ungraded part starts @:20 into the clip , the intro and some of the video I used Luts and dirty grunge overlays .. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ALCAgNZl2rQ.html

305unleashed graphix Good look video looks good I ended up going with the gh5s

awesome the Gh5s is the king !! ,, your slo mo shots must look incredible !!

305unleashed graphix it's a learning process coming from canon but the camera is amazing that partnered with the G85 just can't go wrong

In the US, the only limitation to video is the space on your card and your battery

@@SuzetteAllen Thanks a lot!

@@SuzetteAllen And your imagination 😁!

Is this your experience?

pschroeter1 newest version of fz1000 has touch screen. I got mine in as new condition from amazon warehouse for less than 500$.
