From Dpreview review :

For those looking for a superzoom camera that excels at both photo and video quality, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 delivers. While it doesn’t have a constant maximum aperture of its biggest competitor – the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 – the FZ1000′s F2.8-4 lens covers a much greater 25-400mm equivalent range. The FZ1000 has an advantage over ILCs, as any lens you add to one of those cameras will be larger, heavier and pricier.
