I will definitely look into it though. I imagine most anything he would shoot would be daytime or I would set up my LED lights for him.

I believe I have done some normal indoor shots without flash with the FZ300.  Sure it is noisy but probably up to ISO 1600 it can be dealt with, and as I said the f/2.8 lens helps.

Note, I haven't actually shot video with the FZ300, as I use the G85 primarily for video (the FZ300 uses the same battery as the G85, which is helpful).  But one of the reasons I got it was to be a backup for the G85.

For me, the FZ300 is more the zoo or festival camera, where I don't want to take the whole shoulder bag and multiple lenses.  It is my second most used camera of the year.
