I have had both of your cam's and the 14-140, old & new. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference. But in the end, i went w/ my gut, and gave the 1000 to my sister. Don't expect much difference, unless u r after 4k photo, and superb video. Or, alternatively, if u want to b wx-proof, get the 14-150ii

did you find the 14-140 II less bulky than the FZ1000?

Also, did you miss the extra reach and the extra 20MP cropping power of the FZ1000?

Yes, it is smaller/lighter;  esp w/ prime! (obviously)

Yes, i did miss the reach, extra resolution, and 1+ stop aperature advantage.  But they are subtle advantages.

I wish I could tell u which to choose; it is a tough choice.

The FZ is quite the sexy piece of tech, esp vs the old EM5
