Canon PowerShot SX610 HS vs Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000

99 at Amazon Canada)(Opens in a new window) shows that image detail suffers considerably when the camera is pushed to ISO 800 and beyond. At ISO 1600 the fine lines in our test scene run together into an almost total blur. Of current models, the Panasonic ZS50 is the best pocket superzoom we've tested in terms of high ISO image quality; its images show quite a bit of detail and just 1.7 percent noise at ISO 1600

be/vMlDrndbv8o) but for some reason [these ones](https://youtu.be/Zz6mB_dYHuk) turned out very grainy, and my brain is too small to understand how to fix the issue. I'm beginning to think that it's just due to the terrible lighting of some competition platforms, which is out of my control. Anyway, i was thinking of upgrading to a [Panasonic LUMIX FZ1000](https://www

This may improve as I fully learn to operate the camera. Thus far I have found the zoom to operate well but difficult to "fine tune" the desired shot. Image quality with the zoom fully extended is very good, but framing the shot is comparable to viewing through a telescope vs binoculars; a tripod or other stability device is mandatory. The most glaring short coming of the camera is the absence of a panorama mode

In my experience, one can zoom up to about 150% with reasonable final video quality. One can also pan across the 4K image. NOTE: Others have reported that the camera can only shoot at 24fps in AVCHD mode (i.e

I bought this about a month ago. Still learning about it. lots of features, some i am using already. Have not uploaded as i haven't learned yet

This camera is off the chain AWESOME!!! If this model had the larger touch screen of the FZ300, its constant f/2.8 aperture, and the weather sealing, I'd have given it 6 stars, not 5. For a difference of only $100, I can't for the life of me understand why they don't combine these extra features of the 300 with the larger image sensor of the 1000 for the PERFECT bridge. I thought I would love the constant f/2

Canon should provide this information about this zoom number capability to consumers instead of practically hiding it. They sure would sell more of these cameras. For this reason, I have to take one star off and give this camera four star. For me, zoom is THAT important! I don't appreciate Canon's not mentioning it

If they could extend it to 600 or 700mm, it'd be perfect for me. But I'm giving it five stars anyway because it's an awesome camera for the money, and an awesome camera in general. Update, 5/16/2016: I mentioned in my original review that if the FZ1000 had a bit more reach, it'd be perfect for me. Enter the Sony RX10 Mark III, which has a 24-600mm equivalent range lens

i needed it for videos and it doesn't do the job well and the pictures r all so not clear

You can video at night with good results unless you are in totally dark conditions. The 4K video mode is exceptional, I have a 4K monitor so I can see the results. I promise you, by next Christmas, the 1080P televisions will be non existent . The 4K in picture mode is unbelievable

I have just discovered that my Canon PowerShot 610HS did not have a battery charger in the box. I bought the camera November 2016 and just now realized the battery was dead. I am not even sure what kind of charger is needed.

I carried it everywhere for 5 days and it wasn't bad. It uses the same battery as the FZ200. This is good because I have two spares already. The downside is that battery life is not nearly as good
