Panasonic FZ1000 camera's are pretty amazing for zoom
 

My man always likes to take photos, with loads of film from lightening storms here in Spain to simple close ups of the moon....

wow, so cool!

You're laying this shit on pretty thick now Gary:2 cents:

Thanks, yes, we think so :thumbsup

Have him check out a Nikon Coolpix P900 - best $600 he could spend for a camera.

We can shoot in 4k with the fz1k & the zoom is amazing, it auto focuses very fast, this useful for when I take photos of Gary :thumbsup

I did not buy one but was really impressed with the near instant focus while checking it out at Samy's. Draw back for me is not wide enough at the wide end.

Galileo would be impressed.

You're right with the small widest shot. If we're shooting in a small room, maybe a regular sized bedroom, fully out is needed & is still hard work. My partner said, it's fantastic shooting content with 3 or 4 mtr distance & further away with the zoom at 50 mm. This is when the quality has a cinematic look :thumbsup
