Is it safe to assume this will be the same size sensor as the FZ200? As some others have pointed out, it’s hard to believe they would put a 1″ sensor in it and cannibalize sales of the FZ1000 (which I already have and love). I would say that a 1″ sensor in this new model would be an instant upgrade for many FZ1000 owners with the extra 200mm of reach (even if it IS lower MP).
I am sure it is the same or similar size sensor as the FZ200 – it might be improved – but for sure it is not a 1 inch as they could not have a 1 inch 24-600 F2.8 in that size is my guess – note that the FZ1000 does not have a constant F2.8 throughout the focal range – goes to F4.0 The new Canon G3X is 24-600 with a 1 inch sensor but it is likewise not a constant F2.8 – it goes to F5.6
I wish they could do a 24-600 F2.8 with a 1 inch backlit sensor in the body size of the Canon G3X 🙂 no cigar
