- In this video we take a look at The DMC-FZ1000. I have had this camera for several years. Have used it on many shoots. I am still amazed how much I enjoy using this camera and I hope it might be a good fit for you! Check out my new series coming out soon and thank you for watching!!!

I have an fz 1000 used it for years for TH-cam videos is amazing
Super simple auto focus is good enough plus 4k at 30fps is perfect for great videos! Throw your channel down in the comments so we can check it out!!

"synthgrooves covers" cause it won't let me attach links
I pinned you comment let's get some folks over to check it!!!
@@photographers.life.photos that's awesome thanks
Handy note for anyone using this for astrophotography. Whilst the 25-400mm lens is amazing, has a low f stop and the sensor is pretty awesome too, it's a nightmare to work with. You get your star manually focused, set at lets say 300mm, you check some photos you've taken or go through the menu to change a setting and then WHIRRRRR....the camera has mechanically wound the lens back in. When you come out the menu, the camera will just return to its default 25mm and focal setting meaning all the work setting up your starfield shot is lost. Found this out the hard way.
I got used FZ1000 few months ago primarily for airshows, historical events but now photography is my new hobby, so I take my camera whenever I can and do street photography etc. I also got used FZ38 which gets stomped by FZ1000 but it's a cute lil camera :).
Honestly I think Panasonic hit a home run with this camera and I hope they can repeat there success with an update!
I try to get out and do a street session every week! It is loads of fun! Keep at it I would love to see some of you pics!
Bought mine second hand, but in mint condition. Its brilliant. So versatile and adaptable to your own style of photography. Great viewfinder and snaps into focus instantly. As a, bonus you can get 8 MP stills from 4K video, in camera. Got a great view of Jupiter and its moons, hand held, at maximum zoom range because of its good image stabilisation. Previously I had an FZ28 for 12 years, hope this lasts as long.
You have to tell me what settings you used to get that shot. My best moon photos are from this camera. But I always end up forgetting the settings.
@@photographers.life.photos F4, maximum zoom, 1/40th hand held, braced again a wall. I focused initially on the moon which was bright and close to Jupiter and held the same focus for Jupiter. However it also proved possible to take a 4K video on ia and select the best frame.
@@wlockley52 My goodness you must have steady hands!! I could never shoot 1/40th hand held! My tripod shots are shaky thats how bad my shake is. With that being said I am going to try this. I have 5 good moon shots with this camera and some great Sun behind the clouds shots but I always forget the best settings......
Thanks for the video! I have had this camera for 6 years, I bought it used in 2016 and it's been a good camera! I'll use it then it gets put away collects dust for a little bit then I pull it out dust it off again and use it, so far it's been solid over the years and the reason why I've never sold it or gotten rid of it I love the zoom lens on this camera 😎
that is great to hear. Feel like I tend to do the same thing. If I want to get good photos and have the ability to take a wide variety of shots its the best to pick up. To me it is fun to use for beginners and pros
Absolutely agree!
I also like a bridge camera because the image quality is good, and the flexibility is a distinct advantage which enables quick easy capture of the moment. A real asset. My 42 mp Sony has more detail, but is less at hand, if you grock what I'm trying to say.
I have that camera and at 12:42 you say it's great except for macro, I have taken full frame pictures of monarch butterflies so not sure what small thing you try to take pictures of but there is no problem in taking pictures of very small things with the camera
Okay so I suck at taking macro with it. What settings do you use? I must be doing something wrong.
I am also using this camera for almost all my youtube videos. There is no other camera in the world which supports a better price to quality and versatility ratio.
A friend I k ow decided to stop with the FZ-1000 and get a simpler one a fz300. So for ga good price for about €450 I got it from him in good shape. The macro is kinda meh but for my landscape pics it's perfect
I agree I find myself picking this camera all the time over my other ones even my FF it just is a work horse and gets fantastic photos. You can even blow them up quite a bit
Thanks for the video, I bought a FZ2500 a while back but have not used it. You have sparked my interest to get out/learn and to use it. Do you know if there was much difference in the FZ2500 and the FZ1000. Seems like more use the the F1000? Also I do hope you do more video's on the FZ1000 such as how you use it for some of us to learn. ;-)
There are some added features including an internal ND filter. As well as an additional million pixels I believe. I definitely will have to shoot some videos. It is a solid camera packed with a ton of value. Thank you for the view and the ideas!!!
@@photographers.life.photos Thanks for the info and looking forward to more FZ camera video's when you do some!
@@mkramme That is a great idea ill have to do a street session with this camera and film a could vids on it.
I am looking for an app to do remote control for night shots and transfer of images. Several apps state they work with FZ1000II, but none mention the FZ1000. Does anyone know of an app that will function with the FZ1000?
I have used the Panasonic Image app with the FZ1000 with great success
How to easily see dust on the sensor?
hi great video, have you got a link for the filter you mentioned please?
Neewer 62MM Professional UV CPL FLD Lens Filter and ND Neutral Density Filter(ND2, ND4, ND8) Accessory Kit compatible with Pentax (K-30 K-50 K-5 K-5) and Alpha A99 A77 A65 a.co/d/7fo2GsI
I use the CPL UV filter the most but I got this pack and use it all the time the glass is good
@@photographers.life.photos thank you so much for the quick reply and information
@@pablo123b How do you like the filters?
@@photographers.life.photos yes all good for the price thank you
Is it true that the auto focus is slow??
In Videos it is slower than modern cameras but when shooting stills it works great. I was on a bus and It hit focus on almost all the shots while in motion. My wife shoots fitness content with it and doesn't complain. In those situations it is on a tripod. Hope that helped. If you want a vid of the auto focus I could always post a short.
@@photographers.life.photos ya, thank you
No it's very fast for stills, but can hunt a bit in video
@@LATivi Wow I am late ill try to get that short up as soon as I can
