I took both cameras to the beach today, and they both did really well.
If you compare the Lx10, to the FZ1000, they both cost about the same.

  • LX10 is much smaller! ! ! Fits in your pocket, but much less zoom capability than FZ1000.
  • FZ1000 is a real pro camera; can do it all really:
    • hot shoe for external flash
    • accepts a microphone input for a directional microphone (important outside)
  • FZ1000 - it's quite big, but not heavy to carry around. Needs a neck strap, and a dedicated bridge cam case; but much less than a DLSR to carry..
  • FZ1000 FITS IN THE HAND very well and is a joy to use.
  • LX10 is more modern and has a touch screen display on the back
  • FZ1000 has a really nice monitor display that is similar to a video camera, can go all different angles to see if you lift it above your head in crowd, etc..
  • FZ1000 can zoom 3x more than the LX10, so you can zoom way in on people from far away. Not so much zoom with LX10, but still good.
  • LX10, while small, doesn't fit in the hand very well; it's very small.. and so it has less controls to do similar things as FZ1000. Needs some kind of heavy wrist strap, and maybe aftermarket grip add-on!
  • LX10 has a selfie screen flip up; but it does not point in different directions as the FZ1000.

Then I think FZ1000 fits for me, I have a big hand and it seems LX10 is too small.

Thank you so much for your help, Hope steemit will help me reach these goals!

The best thing about FZ1000, is you can hack it to be a pro 4K video camera!
With an amazing lens that can zoom way in on things ;-) ;-)

I HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO THIS ON LX10...

Yes, I think 4k it s needed... we are in 2017
