Superzoom camera with 1" sensor from Panasonic

Panasonic announced Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera with 1" / 20MP sensor and 25-400mm (eqv) F2.8-4 Leica-branded lens. People at DPReview were very impressed with snappy autofocus. Even with such superzoom the camera's weight is just over 800 grams, e few grams more than Sony RX10 with 24-200mm (eqv) F2.8 lens. On top of it, the camera is priced under $1000, significantly less than the Sony. I expect the camera will be very popular with hikers, bushwalker and various people whol like to travel without heavy things. Still the most popular 1" models are Sony RX100 / I / III, very compact cameras.
