FZ1000, 1/25sec F3.5, ISO 1600 |
GH4+12-35mm, 1/40sec f3.5, ISO 3200 |
The FZ1000 is an excellent camera in it's own right, worth every cent and more of the asking price.
However much of my testing has attempted to answer a specific question, namely, "Can the FZ1000 replace my entire Micro
Four Thirds Kit".
This post compares photo quality of the FZ1000 and the GH4
fitted with the 12-35mm f2.8, one of the best lenses available for M43.
From previous testing I knew that outdoors, the FZ1000 can
hold it's own with any M43 body fitted with any zoom lens including the high
grade 12-35mm f2,8 and 35-100mm f2.8 lenses.
This post is about night time indoor, artificial light
conditions which I knew could be more difficult for the FZ1000 with it's
smaller sensor.
Both photos were hand held.
I knew from previous tests that the 5 axis OIS in the FZ1000 is more effective than the OIS in the 12-35mm
lens. This enabled me to use a slower shutter speed and therefore a lower ISO setting with the FZ1000.
Here are the crops of the two photos at the top of the post. Can you pick which camera took each photo ? |
Conclusion with attention to aperture, shutter speed and ISO the FZ1000 can make pictures indoors in
artificial light which are indistinguishable from those made with GH4 and a very good zoom lens.
Had I used f2.8 with the 12-35mm lens, depth of field would have been less and ISO less or shutter speed faster.
