SeekerLeica V-Lux 5
The Leica V-Lux 5 is great for sport and wildlife photography. It has a fairly long zoom range to help you capture far-off subjects. Unfortunately, its face-tracking performance is disappointing, but it does a good job of tracking moving objects. The image quality is great, with minimal noise at higher ISO levels, making it suitable for lower light conditions. Finally, its shooting speed is impressive, with a fast continuous shooting rate and virtually instant buffer empty time when shooting in JPEG.

You'll pay more for Leica's V-Lux 5 camera than Panasonic's very similar FZ1000 II, but you might find the premium look and feel to be worth it.
