All New FZ1000
- Thread starter HydroPoP
- Start date
Panasonic Singapore on facebook suggests that it will be unveiled soon, though not sure if soon means a week or a month....
Then use the ultra small quick release lah. Its not appropriate to call this cam "useless"
Most cameras of this size have the battery located at the bottom eg canon, sony , nikon etc. Some of those cameras have been used to film HD movies and documentaries. They dont seem to be "useless" at all
Both of you make valid points. I can see how some shooters will find it a dealbreaker if they have to remove the QR just to change battery and/or SD card, while other shooters may not mind compromising on that if they like the other features of the FZ1000 as a package. *shrug* Different strokes for different folks.
Most are usually further from the battery door... say at least an inch+?
With the FZ1000, I'm not sure there's a QR small enough that would allow the battery door to be opened... It doesn't make it 'useless', just 'unappealing/unsuitable' to some people.

I'm not your typical neighbour who sells fish in the market. I don't work for Panasonic but we put in a lot of hours in the R&D before the product comes out of the market that's why calling it "useless" is not appropriate. No product is perfect, everything has its pros and cons. The car that you've been driving or the phone that you've been using is not perfect but its not "useless". You dont call a phone "useless" just because you cant change the battery. (which phone is this?). Its up to the user if they can accept those design. If you're speaking from a videographer point of view you should know that this type of cam is used to complement your dedicated videocam to cover events like weddings. You don't go out to cover an important event with one cam you just borrowed from your neighbour.
It appears that youre the one who keeps referring to other peoples opinion by posting ther peoples comment. Why dont you do your own review in youtube then provide me the link. Dont forget to use magic word "useless". Let me see how the world reacts to sharp tounged individual like you. This maybe internet but the sword also strikes in the cyberworld.
Stay cool guys. The camera will be good for some but may not be friendly for others. Just move on. Everyone got the choice to choose what they want to use for their photography needs.
Actually the Sirui TY-C10 fits nicely on the FZ1000. I tried it and it works fine without blocking the battery/SDcard compartment.
It's in for a while already , visit the funan shops
Oh thanks.
Anyone know what is the best Street price?
Many thanks
Whats the cycle for this kinda camera? I think its been out for a year already..Sony has launched the RX 10 II which is its direct competitor..do you think mark II or whatever name they will use will be out anytime soon? Just asking..
