SeekerPanasonic LUMIX FZ1000 II
The Panasonic LUMIX FZ1000 II is great for sport and wildlife photography. It has a long focal length that's great for capturing far-off subjects. It also has great image quality that's well-suited to low light conditions, as there's little visual noise at higher ISO levels, although you may lose some sharpness as you raise the ISO. It has a quick continuous shooting speed, especially in its silent shooting mode, which is great when you don't want to scare away wildlife. Its autofocus system is good for tracking moving objects, but unfortunately, it does a poor job of tracking faces.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ1000 II bridge camera keeps the same excellent lens and sensor as its predecessor. It's an excellent performer, but we wish it had some level of weather protection.
