Re: panny 12-32/3.5-5.6 and panny 35-100/4.0-5.6

Unfortunately in spite of FZ1000's pretty wide coverage lens, it is still short of UWA (9-18 or 7-14) and long reach (currently 75-300 or 100-300, or the upcoming long telephoto f/4 pro). Optically reach is very different from cropping or digital zoom! It also lack of choices on f/1.4 or f/1.7 fast primes.

Also it has the basic pros and cons of a fixed lens compact vs system camera.

You might wish to to visit a recent thread comparing G7 vs FZ1000 that you might find OP of that thread also realize the size and weight advantage of G7 vs the all-in-one of FZ1000 that sometimes might find over kill but still has to be carried....

If one day ZS superzoom could put in 1" sensor having 28-400, it would change the story.
