I have 3 right now, and I want to reduce that to 2. Just not sure yet which 2.Steve I'm actually down to just 2.
The IZoom pictures are more impressive than I imagined. There's likely cropping taking place but they look good for the web.My scanning through DPR threads led me to this guy's posts. He has a gallery of excellent images taken with an FZ1000: FZ1000
I will *not* do this But rest assured: It could be worseOK, let's count them up:
8 Pens
Sony A7Riii, A6000, and RX100 (which is technically my wife's)
Fuji XH1, X100V, and X20
Pentax Q and Q7
This does not include old film stuff that is on display.
Huh, not as bad as thought. (Hurries over to KEH.com)
Eagerly anticipating your findings.At 183g heavier and much more bulky, how will the FZ1000 II stack up against the Pen-F and P 45-150? Will 100mm more reach and a faster lens trump a larger sensor and a lighter more compact package? Stay tuned: Compact Camera Meter
Holding up my crystal ball I see the Pen F and 45-150 in the future.At 183g heavier and much more bulky, how will the FZ1000 II stack up against the Pen-F and P 45-150? Will 100mm more reach and a faster lens trump a larger sensor and a lighter more compact package? Stay tuned: Compact Camera Meter
I can't see how a Pen F could be replaced by a Superzoom. But then you do have the X-E2, so they could be seen as a bit redundant.I have 3 right now, and I want to reduce that to 2. Just not sure yet which 2.
One of my goals with the rental FZ1000 II is to compare it with the Pen-F + P 45-150 at various focal lengths. It may turn out that the P 45-150 is better at all focal lengths. Who knows? Again, we'll see.
EDIT: I'm currently flipping back and forth from Camaraderie to a discussion about the FZ1000 on DPR. Here's an example image from the FZ1000 someone posted: http://www.cavecom.com/pics/feather-detail.jpg
8 Pens? That's basically 1/2 of all the Pens that have been made.OK, let's count them up:

Well there are only 11 in your signature.I will *not* do this But rest assured: It could be worse

There's an E-P5 for sale over on mu-43........OK, let's count them up:

That’s one of the chorus line of Pens. Of course, I only have one . . .There's an E-P5 for sale over on mu-43........
I've never been much fond of power zooms, either, but I want to see for myself how the FZ1000 II compares to the Pen-F + P 45-150 in both handling and IQ. I already know the effective maximum reach is 100mm greater. I also want to compare the handling, and do some pixel peeping to compare the IQ. The consumer m4/3 options to reach 400mm, the O 12-200 and P 45-200, don't seem to be well regarded. I'm certain the PL 50-200 on the Pen-F would smoke the FZ1000 II, but at a cost of $500 more and an even more bulky package: Compact Camera Meter No point in having a telephoto lens if I have to keep it in a bag on my bike rack and swap lenses back and forth at every stop. My other alternative to the P 45-150 is to re-purchase an XF 55-200 for the X-E2. IQ would be better, but I know from experience the camera and lens would not fit in my bar bag: Compact Camera MeterI can't see how a Pen F could be replaced by a Superzoom. But then you do have the X-E2, so they could be seen as a bit redundant.
But then I'm also not a fan of power zooms.
There's an E-PL8 for sale over at mu-43 if you want to make it 9 Pens . . . or would that be 10? Someone just bought the E-P5 that was listed over there.OK, let's count them up:

It's not about numbers, Tony. It's about irrational obsession.There's an E-PL8 for sale over at mu-43 if you want to make it 9 Pens . . . or would that be 10? Someone just bought the E-P5 that was listed over there.
