L.Monochrome and L.Monochrome D modes are newly added to Photo Style, making it possible to shoot dynamic monochrome photos with emphasized highlights and shadows while preserving the details. The LUMIX FZ1000M2 records stunningly smooth, high-resolution QFHD 4K video in 3840x2160 at 30p or 24p in MP4. Taking advantage of 4K technology, users can enjoy 4K PHOTO to capture those unmissable moments at 30 fps and save in 8-megapixel high resolution photos.  16x Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens The LUMIX FZ1000M2 features the Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens (F2.8-F4.0) with 16x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 25-400mm) and achieves beautiful, evenly smooth defocus with invisible edge line.

With the 4K PHOTO, users can capture the fleeting photo opportunities at 30 fps in 8-megapixel equivalent resolution by extracting a frame of the most photogenic timing out of the 4K burst file to save as a photo. Three exclusive functions are integrated to make the 4K photography even easier; 4K Burst Shooting, 4K Burst (Start/Stop) and 4K Pre-burst. The 4K Burst shooting allows consecutive shooting at 30 fps, which can be used just like a photo burst shooting.

It lets you jump to the nearest frame where the differences are obvious between consecutive frames to minimize the time it takes to choose the best shot. Sequence Composition makes it possible to make a stromotion image by synthesizing multiple images shot at a fixed frame with 4K PHOTO. A unique image reflecting the subject's motion can be produced easily in the camera without needing a special retouching process. Post Focus Mode The LUMIX FZ1000M2 comes with the Post Focus function that enables users to select in-focus area even after shooting. It is helpful in situations like macro shooting where severe focusing is required or for changing expressions by changing focused subject. This function has been developed by combining the high-speed, high-precision DFD (Depth From Defocus) auto focus technology and the 4K technology. Focus Stacking Mode Newly integrated Focus Stacking function enables users to adjust focus area after shooting by combining multiple images shot with Post Focus function in the camera. Users do not need to establish a focus point during shooting but they can get the image with the defocus as they want or pan-focus image by selecting the focus area after shooting. This is beneficial when shooting macro shots of insects, small accessories and so on. Focusing Technology For even faster response and higher mobility, the LUMIX FZ1000II integrates a dedicated linear motor into the focus system. The Light Speed AF with an adoption of DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology even shortens the time to set focus. It also boasts high speed burst shooting in RAW.

This replaces my older Panasonic Lumix camera, and I could not be more happy! I'm having a great time learning how to use it and adjusting to the differences. It's perfect for me, and I would definitely recommend the camera.

Great Upgrade from my previous camera

Seems great so far.  Very fast, fairly easy to adjust.  Wish it was dust and weather proofed a little.

I like it.

The best camera I have ever used!!! I have had Minoltas, Nikons, and a bunch of other cameras - this is by far the best one yet! It is easy to use, the controls and touchscreen are phenomenal, and the pictures and video are perfect!!!

BEST CAMERA I HAVE EVER OWNED

I love this camera! I was replacing my beloved DC-FZ1000 that was damaged by my niece.  I shopped around, purchased another 1000 used, returned that and spent the extra money on purchasing this new.  Adorama's price and package that it came with was hands down the best price across the board. I also have access to someone to help me with the camera regularly, an extended 3 year warranty from Panasonic and just an overall FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE.  Thank you Adorama!!!

DC-FZ1000M2 IS MY NEW FAVORITE CAMERA

This camera has focus issues. I?ve tried everything I know to do to get a crisp image from it. Probably going to send it back.

Focus issues

I purchased for a European Cruise as a lighter alternative to my other digital cameras and telephoto lenses. I could not be more happy. The camera is light and the lens zoom is just perfect. Even pictures taken through a tour bus window come out sharp when using the sports preset. This was the best camera purchase I have made in a few years.

Panasonic Perfect!!!

I had the original Lumix FZ1000 and really liked it. I stepped up to the mark ii and I think it is a very nice upgrade to an already good bridge camera. Has lots of features and an excellent zoom range. Perfect camera to grab and go. The overall kit has some really nice accessories in it. I especially like the nice battery chargers it came with. A complete kit to get you out and taking photos immediately.

Very nice upgrade!

Outstanding purchase - great camera to carry on trips and the perfect complement to my Nikon D750 - it is much lighter and easy to carry around and very capable to handle just about any shooting situation. It is also reasonably easy to use.

Great versatile bridge camera for a decent price!

VERY LOUD LOUD autofocus and zoom during video. I kept the camera ONE day.

I hadit one day then returned

It's a great hybrid camera with sharp lense.

Nice hybrid camera

Takes awesome pictures

Great camera without having to haul around extra lenses. Had the FZ1000 and it was great, but decided to upgrade to the new FZ1000 II model. Adorama kit with all the accessories for the same price as the camera alone, what a deal ! ! Has a few new features that I want to try on our upcoming trips to Maine coast and Southwest National Parks. Can't wait to use it.

Great camera without hauling around extra lenses

Very satisfied with Adorama?s service and the included accessories were exactly what I needed - a well thought out combination. Doing baby steps with the camera using the iA mode and getting some great perfectly focused pics at 400 mm lens setting. No hesitantly shopping Adriana in the future.

Excellent

I have the previous model, this quite a nice upgrade.

Great update

Nice camera. Perfect lens for having everything you need in one place.

Camera? Camera!

Great camera with a huge value of add-ons. It was nice to be able to update my corel suite without actually having to cough up the cash.

Nice

I?m steadily getting more and more pleased with my results of using this camera. There?s a bit of a learning curve to using it (and I?ve previously used a DLSR for years). But there have been helpful videos online and I found a third-party manual that explains things very clearly. And I keep taking pictures all the time, getting more comfortable with what the camera can do, and ending up with some really good photos, to boot!  It?s a very powerful camera, and can really do a lot, probably more than I?ll ever need, but it?s proven to be a great walkaround camera for me, allowing me to get great landscape shots, but also some very up-close wildlife shots. The fact that I got the package with the spare battery was the wisest decision ever, and that spare has come in quite handy on some of my nature hikes. I really like the range of the lens, and I think having the 1-inch sensor helps the quality of my images.

Off to a good start!

This is a wonderful 1" sensor bridge camera with a wide zoom range, 24mm to 400mm equivalent.  Useful for everything from landscape to portraits to wildlife to closeups.  The focus staking feature is fun for closeup work.  The size and weight are convenient, specially for all its capabilities. Image quality if very good with the 1" sensor, much better than smaller sensor cameras I'd used.

Very good bridge camera

The perfect upgrade to my very old Lumix - now I have the features available to fine tune my photos!

Great Package!

I am very impressed with the camera.  The changes from the FZ1000 (my previous camera) were exactly what I wanted, especially the focus stacking option.  I was not impressed with some of the accessories included in the kit, mostly the FlashPoint timer and shutter release.  I couldn't get the shutter release to work. After contacting the manufacturer I was told that the shutter release DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS CAMERA (not mentioned in the description of the product) but was included as a "freebie".  Also, the camera case is for accessories only, not the camera.

I would highly recommend this camera as a lightweight, very versatile camera for hiking and traveling.

I have had the camaera 2 weeks.  Very happy with the features, ergonomics and quality of my photos.   Still learning how to use this.  Wish there were more instruction manuals for all the details.

Pnasonic Sumix FZ 10002

If you're looking to upgrade, this camera is a huge step up from a phone and other small sensor cameras. I love the zoom capability and various menu settings and options all in one package. This is the first camera I've had where I feel I can capture the image quality one should expect. I am a novice at best but can still capture stunning images!

AAA Novice Rated

After doing what I thought was an "Upgrade" from the FZ300, then FZ1000, then this model, I'm totally confused. There is Nothing better about this camera than the previous models.
1) It's just as sluggish to start up as the other models.
2) The zoom is just as sluggish as previous models (whether you use the lens control ring or the top dial).
3) JPG picture quality is fuzzy.
4) Most pictures are over-exposed, blowing out highlights.
For the amount of money this costs, you can do much better with other brands.
This is going back where it came from...

Sluggish & Overpriced

It's a bit heavy, and the telephoto is a bit hard to hold even with the excellent stabilizer.  But it beats lugging at least two lenses around.  It has a 1" sensor which some reviews say is BS-CMOS but Panasonic just says MOS.  Whatever, the picture quality is excellent.  All in all a great compromise to a DSLR.

Panasonic fz 1000 M2

I’m very pleased with this camera. I had a Fz1000 and this is a big improvement. The touchscreen and new features like focus stacking are nice. The controls are better, no more switches that accidentally turn off image stabilization or change focus and zoom functions. I like having the an extra f stop and the autofocus is much quicker and more accurate.

A big improvement

I traded in my Lumix FZ1000 for the Mark 2 version. I thought this  camera would do better at video.  I was not disappointed. There is a noticeable upgrade in the video performance over the FZ1000.  Still photos are the same excellent quality.  I have no hesitation in recommending the Mark 2.  

Dealing with Adorama was an excellent experience as always. This is not my first first purchase from them.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Mark 2. 


This camera has all I need, it is light , it has long lens ( 400mm ) and it has amazing quality ! ( I had a D7100 he put my arm to sleep! )

It has many functions and it is possible to configure many of them! the rotating display is very convenient and the touchscreen display works very well.

I left 4star because : this camera create the raw file RW2 and at moment need to convert this file and after is possible to work with software
