The articulating LCD is bright enough on the maximum setting for recording outdoors in bright sunlight, though you also get the option of a 2.35-million dot electronic viewfinder which is also crisp and clear. But I found that I relied on the continuous autofocus mode because it hit the mark every single time, keeping things in focus without any extra effort. Other video-centric features that you get on the FZ100 include focus peaking and zebras.

AVCHD is available for 1080p video at 60/30/24p, and there's a special slow-motion mode for 120p recording. The camera offers AVCHD and MP4 recording, with 4K recording in MP4 at 100Mbps. The FZ1000 features a 20.9MP MOS CMOS 1-inch sensor and a 25-400mm lens which is equivalent to 16x optical zoom. While I won't cover all the technical specifications (you can find these in the preview ) I'll focus on the ones most important to video and 4K recording. Always double-check that your card supports the minimum write speed for 4K otherwise you'll end up with stuttery video. Panasonic states that a UHS Speed Class 3 card is needed.

Sure, the GoPro Hero 3+ can take 4K video but it's at a reduced frame rate and not practical for most purposes like playing back seamlessly on a TV.

The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 is arguably the easiest way to jump into ultra high definition recording without needing to know the ins and outs of more expensive cameras. Tempted by the prospect of 4K video on your next camera?
