Well, I just couldn't wait any longer.....no announcement from Panasonic.
So I have just ordered........................the FZ1000.
Hopefully got a great deal and it arrives tomorrow.
Panasonic refurbished FZ1000 for £449.
I have been torn between the DMC G7 and the FZ1000 primarily for 4 k video but my problem was that I wanted a motorised zoom.
OK...I could have bought the motorised 14-42 and the 45-175 lenses for the DMC G7 but can guarantee that as my interest is shooting my daughter in showjumping etc, she would have been between 25-125 meaning a change of lens required all the time to follow the subject etc.
So, really looking forward to using the FZ1000 which I am sure will also become very much a carry round for photography as well, although I am lucky enough to have some lovely Nikon FF gear which I could never part with.
I guess the big question to friends here is could you give any advice re shooting 4k video with the camera and also any tips for initial setting up for photography please.
I would value very much any help and hope to be posting some photos and videos in the not too distant future.
Just a quick thank you again to all who were kind enough to offer help and advice when I originally posted asking for help in deciding which system to go for.
Best wishes to all
