Nikon DL 18-50mm is the only camera with 1″ sensor that features Hybrid AF system, hence un-doublty the DL will do fastest AF among all the other compact camera of its range.
On the other side we have Panasonic SZ1 camera that features bit better ISO range, more shutter speed and better image stabilization system.
At the end if we look at the specification comparison table we see Panasonic ZS1 more good compared to the Nikon DL 18-50, however if you need more fast AF you must go with Nikon DL 18-50.

Last year Sony announced A7RII, RX100M4 and RX10 II in June and this year there is a big possibility that Sony may announce Sony A7 III and RX100M 5 in June 2016.
The Reason why we are expecting a major announcement from Sony this June since Sony is sending invites to people for a special meeting on June, usually Sony send such invites on a product announcements.
However we can’t ignore the recent earthquake that occurred in Japan (Komamoto disaster), So Sony may also postpone the launch of the new cameras on the same meeting too.
We have already published a lot of rumored related to Sony A9 camera and its arrival is expected on September (Photokina event), SLT A99 update is also overdue and according to tipsters the camera may arrive on Photokina event.

It’s look like Someone spotted Sony A9 camera in the wild, according to a reader of the SAR website the upcoming Sony A9 camera may carry a 72MP fullframe sensor, dual card slots, a joy stick on the rear side of the camera and a slightly larger body compared to current A7R II.
As reported by a anonymous reader :
Walking through battery park Manhattan around 5:35pm, I came across someone walking towards 1 world trade, with a graphite looking camera with no markings or paint in a slightly larger and boxier shape than my a7r ii, when I realized it was too large to be a Fuji XT1 but too small to be a Leica T, I looked closer and noticed the user (short chubby guy with red goatee) was using a Sony GM 24-70mm 2.8 lens on the body.
The photographer was pretty uncomfortable when I started asking questions. But I can say this. It was in fact a Sony A9(?!?) proto type, it is slightly larger than the A7Rii however it does not have a built in battery grip. Good things are it does have dual card slots, definitely sd maybe cfast, I really don’t know much about different cards, but he did say it has 2. It has a joystick for autofocus point moving. But most importantly, when he showed me the joystick, the spot where it would say 42M on my a7rii, it said Extra Fine 72M!!
He said this was one of a few prototypes out there and that it was due out end of summer for early fall release (can’t say this is real or not).
I know I am not a source or anything, but this thing was legit!!!
More thing are coming out of fog as multiple confirmations are coming from different sources. Today we got confirmation that one of the prototypes of the camera features a 72MP FF Sensor inside.
Sony A9 Rumored Specification
- 70-80 Megapixel sensor
- Improved Image Stabilization
- They are going to sort out this buffer overflow issue
- Better HDR whatever that means.
- Dual XQD card slots
- unlimited burst mode till the card last / No buffer limitation.
- Smaller than Canon 5D Mark III DSLR
From specification POV the Sony A9 look like a perfect camera for professional. The Sony A9 is said to be a new series of camera and above the current A7 series. That clearly means upcoming A9 camera isn’t a successor of Sony A7R II camera.

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
