The FZ1000 looks like a great deal. Do you think it might be too heavy at 831 g (1.83 lb / 29.31 oz)?

The EPL5 body weighs 325 g (0.72 lb / 11.46 oz) and the EPL7 357 g (0.79 lb / 12.59 oz)shinndigg

Is his father likely to carry such a big camera around regularly? No? In which case it is not a good choice. The best camera is always the one you have with you. The most likely camera most people will have with them is probably a smaller and lighter camera. Not always of course. It depends very much on the person and on the day. It is something important to consider.
