The newly announced Sony RX100 features unique stacked structure with a back-illuminated design for superior low-light performance, the newly designed sensor also incorporates a dedicated DRAM chip on the back of the sensor and this results super fast processng speed as well as enhanced signal capacity for faster readouts.
The Lumix FZ1000 camera doesn’t carry stacked CMOS design or DRAM chip on the back of sensor, but even after that the FZ1000 is capable to give excellent ISO range as well as shooting speed.
Best Low light performer – Sony RX10 III vs. Panasonic FZ1000
The ISO speed of both the camera is same and as well as the aperture range of both the camera is excatly same, so based on specification sheet we are unable to tell you the truth until we see a High ISO test between these two big sensor superzoom camera.
Best Zoom Camera?
Sony RX10 III is undoubtedly is better if we compare the lens of both the camera. The Sony RX10 III offers 25X optical zoom lens on the other side the Panasonic FZ1000 remains limited to 16X only. Despite of having more zoom lens the Sony RX10 III camera features same Aperture range compared to FZ1000 camera (F2.8 – F4.0).
Both camera features excellent image stabilization inside them, Sony claims that RX10 III helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake up to 4.5 stops on the other side we have Hybrid O.I.S that also very effective while shooting handheld telephoto images.
Auto-Focus
Sony RX10 III features 25 AF points and FZ1000 features 49 AF points, Panasonic claims that FZ1000 camera features DFD AF system same as of pro Mirrorless series camera. It’s very clear from the specification of the camera that FZ1000 carry a dedicated hardware system for AutoFocusing and does fast AF compared to traditional contrast based AF systems of the camera. Panasonic FZ1000 covers more AF screen and features fast auto-focusing system compared to RX10 III. Although the RX10 III features fast continuous shooting speed compared to FZ1000.
Video – Sony is better
Both camera offers 4K video recording at 30 fps.
Sony utilizes full-pixel readout while capturing 4K or Full HD video. No such deatils available form Panasonic about the FZ1000 camera.
Sony RX10 III offers 4K at 30 fps and Full HD at 120 fps. The Sony RX10 III also offers recording in XAVC S format, which is contained within an MP4 wrapper. Gamma controls are also available to increase the dynamic range of the sensor, the camera also offers to use S-Log2 Gamma Curve that is found on high end Sony Cinema cameras that squeezes up to 1300% more dynamic range.
Panasonic FZ1000 also features 4K video recording at 30fps but the Full HD recording remains limited to 60fps only. The camera does offer 4K video recording MP4 format and Full HD in AVCHD format.
Sony RX10 III vs. Panasonic FZ1000 – HIGH ISO TEST
Take a look between the High ISO test of both the camera
 Both camera showing excellent amount of details at base ISO
 ISO 3200 images from both the camera is useless
 The ISO 12800 can be only used for test purpose, however Panasonic FZ1000 showing wired images with color bleeding problem.
Verdict:
Sony RX10 III offers Better + More zoom lens compared to FZ1000 as well as bit better video mode, from the ISO test we don’t see any big difference in the image quality of both the camera, however Sony RX10 III is performing bit better.
But price difference too big and you can buy two FZ1000 in price of one RX10 III camera.
Buy Sony RX10 III if you want more zoom lens and bit better video mode otherwise we recommend you to but FZ1000 @ 697 only, Panasonic FZ1000 a prefect balance of price and features.
Price
Sony RX10 III – $ 1498 available at Amazon | B&H
Sony FZ1000 – $697 available Amazon | B&H

 The smart contact lens is composed of following major parts 1. control component 4. Control Unit 2. Sensor 3. WiFi antenna Before we end the Sony contact lens news you must know that the first contact lens patent was filed by google X skunkworks lab back on 2012 [via patentbolt] Initially the first contact lens from google was made with a sensor that tracks your sugar level by analyzing the amount of sugar present in your tears. if you have diabetes, you generally have to perform finger-stick blood tests throughout the day. However the smart lens made by google never came for public use.
 A month ago Samsung smart contact lens patent also surfaced over the web. South Korea gov. has granted the Samsung crop.

 Latest titbits related Olympus E-M1 mark II surfaced over the web, the details are coming from a M4/3.com user Rob who claims that he attend the LCE (London Camera Exchange) PRO CAMERA Show and talked with Olympus representatives.
The following major information collected from the discussion between M43.com user Rob and Olympus representatives.
- EM1 Mk2 is definitely going to be launched at Photokina / September 2016
- May include 4K
- Advance AF System dictated for Sports shooting / professional use
- Big improvements in core specification compared to current E-M1 models
- Price will remain same as E-M1
Details of the discussion as published betwwen ROB and Oly Representatives
I visited the LCE (London Camera Exchange) PRO CAMERA Show this morning in Southamton (UK). Both Olympus and Panasonic had stands and I had a chat with the reps from both camps to see if I could glean any news on upcoming models ! Lo and behold – Speaking to one of the Olympus Reps I was told that the EM1 Mk2 is definitely going to be launched at Photokina and will be on sale in October 2016. The new camera is said to be vastly (and this was reiterated) improved compared to the EM1. Several aspects of performance will be much improved including video which ‘ may’ include 4K ?
What will definately be improved is the ability of the new camera to be used for sports photography Olympus are said to be trying to further penetrate the PRO market and improving performance for sports photography is seen as an important goal to achieve increased PRO level recognition, sales and use. I mentioned that I enjoy motorsports photography and was told that the Mk2 would DEFINATELY be much improved for that type of fast moving capture. The rep advised that Olympus were going to put a lot of effort into a much bigger launch of the EM1 Mk2 and staff were already working on and towards the launch.
With regard to 4K or no 4K on the new model I was told that there were hidden barriers to adopting this technology as Panasonic and other companies held ‘rights’ to some aspects to the technology involved and were more able to implement 4K at reasonable cost compared to what Olympus would have to pay in order to use it. It wasn’t clear whether 4K would be included but it certainly wasn’t ruled out . If true this perhaps explains (at least partly) why Olympus has been slow to adopt the technology.
With regard to the pricing of the new model I was told that despite the newer version being a huge improvement over the Mk1 there was no intention to increase the price significantly over the price of the EM1 – I would expect this to be with regard to pricing at launch – the EM1 being approximately £1300.00 (UK) at launch if I remember correctly.
Obviously much of this should be taken with a pinch of salt but from what was being said I think we can definately expect sales to commence before the end of the year and a launch at Photokina
Regards
Rob
