Re: It's no FZ1000, that's for sure!!!

The FZ1000 is currently £749 at present and the SP100EE is £299. The FZ1000 would need to be half the price, not just a few bucks I think. I have a feeling the FZ1000 is beyond the budget of enough people to make it the last choice for the majority.

I doubt it will really dent the bridge market especially as that market is primarily for superzoom and the FZ1000 is not a member of that club. I do wonder how many of the buying public really get excited about 1" sensors and will just look at the modest 16x zoom.

From what I've seen and read so far, if your in the market for a bridge type camera, there is only one real choice at this time. I just wish they would make one that is about half the size with half the zoom range, for a few bucks less. I guess it's true (most of the time), you get what you pay for
