Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was a Nikon shooter and have owned several DSLR bodies and lenses. But ever since the iPhones came out, I just wasn't using all of my "good" photography equipment as often as I should. The iPhone cameras had become "good-enough" for what I photograph (school events, concerts, vacations, family, etc...). Currently, I carry an iPhone 6 and feel that its picture quality has exceeded most 2/3" sensor point-and-shoot cameras. Still - I often miss the detail of the DSLR sensor, clarity of true optical zoom, and the DSLR's superior low-light capability. That's where this Panasonic fits in. I've been looking for a pocketable travel camera that can bridge the gap between an iPhone 6 and my Nikon DSLRs. My requirements were as follows: small camera body, attached lens (so it can be used at concerts), 1" sensor, and a generous zoom range. What's so important about the sensor size? A camera with a larger 1" sensor is able to capture more photo detail with less noise than the usual 2/3" size. This is most noticeable when taking photos in low light. The Sony RX 100 III and Canon G7x are the benchmarks for the 1" sensor cameras, but I needed a longer zoom in order to shoot concerts, and sports. As far as I can tell, the Panasonic is unique in this price range for the combination of the 1" sensor and longer-than-the-competition zoom. Likes: * Solid Feel * standard micro-USB cable * Larger 1" sensor (larger than the majority of point-and-shoot models) * Longest zoom in this price range amongst its peers * RAW+JPG option * 4K Video * Touchscreen * Electronic Viewfinder * physical lens-ring control * thumb-wheel control * Smartphone integration (I can only test the iPhone app) - Live real-time camera controls, transfer photos and videos, GPS tagging * Fast menus * Fast focus * Custom White Balance * Full manual controls * Customizable Dials * Create features such as Post Focus and 4K Photo Dislikes: (these are really first-world problems) * no flash hot shoe (but its competitors may not have one either) * no external microphone option (but its competitors may not have one either) * It barely fits in my front-jeans pocket. I have to be careful not to scratch it with the metal rivet on the jeans Panasonic has this very interesting feature called Post Focus. The camera will rapid fire a series of shots using different focal points and let the user choose what to focus on AFTER the picture has been taken. Another unique feature is 4K Photo, the camera will basically take 4K video and let you extract high-quality 4K stills from the stream. I can see this being extremely useful with fast moving kids and pets. I plan to add more to this review in the future...but for now, I've attached some photos samples. I've also included a size comparison between the iPhone 6 and Panasonic. As well as low-light comparison shots between the iPhone 6 and Panasonic in a poorly lit room. All shots including the low-light shots were hand-held without a tripod. So far, every camera feature appears to work as advertised. There were comments on another website about wifi problems, I had none. The wireless bridge between the camera and iPhone worked every time. Note: I do have a dual-band router and although the 2.4Ghz channel was found, the 5Ghz was not. That may be why it didn't matter in my place.
