I found it very interesting that the menu has changed apparently. however the camera gets a pretty mediocre review from this site. That's why I haven't ordered it yet.
It says the Sony brand is clearly Superior, and interestingly that the fz2500 has a lesser performing lens.
pretty much all the reviews do agree though that for the price it's a great camera
I'm like a review that just says it's a great camera with no qualifiers!
"for Sony's Cyber-shot RX10-series, both the RX10 III and RX10 IV are significantly more expensive than the Panasonic FZ1000 II but they have longer zooms which are brighter than the FZ1000 II at their wide ends. Optically, they're superior overall with sharper results on the wide and telephoto ends and generally more consistent across-the-frame quality (dig deeper with our bridge camera lens shootout on page 2). They're also smaller and offer better video quality with more video capture tools and features, too. Perhaps most significantly, the RX10 IV comes with on-sensor phase detection autofocus and far higher burst rates; the FZ1000 II's autofocus is great for general use, but its performance and modest burst speeds aren't a match for the Sony for sports and action.
If you're after something more compact and can live without the bright maximum aperture, you may also want to consider the even more compact Panasonic ZS200 / TZ200, ZS100 / TZ100 or Sony RX100 VI or VII instead. Lastly, if you're after the most zoom you can get, you might look at the likes of Nikon's P950 or P1000, which give you insane reach but utilize smaller sensors, and therefore outright image quality won't match what the FZ1000 II is capable of."
