  1. I think, much like the A7s and GH4, that there is a place for both the RX10 and the FZ1000 in the marketplace. The Zeiss lens on the Sony will be better, that's a near 100% guarantee, at all focal lengths where they match. The 60p1080 on the RX10, being full pixel readout, should hold its own well enough... despite AVCHD. The RX10 is better built, by a considerable measure, being as well built as a 5DMkIII or A99v level camera. The RX10 also has the headphone jack so proper sound monitoring is available, and the ability to work with an XLR mic, natively, is a huge bonus for the people who care. The customizability of the Sony cameras is also beginning to get the attention it deserves: someone can take this camera and make it their own. Add in the ND filtration and proper stabilization in video and we can say it still does well, if a tad overpriced. The innate capability of the RX10 is very high, however, and the still images are stunning. I haven't seen anything in the Rebel class of DSLR that really competes. You have to go to an A6000ish level camera before that happens. I doubt the Panasonic will be able to get that still performance out of the FZ1000. Physics of lens vs no BSI say so. The BSI sensor in the RX10 will win the high ISO, high dynamic range battle quickly where still photos come into play and Sony's Object Tracking has always beaten Panasonic where continuous CDAF has come in. I think that once Sony drops the price of the RX10 to, say, $1k, it'll still be the better overall photographer's tool. The 25-400mm lens with a non-bsi sensor behind it will have too many compromises to compete at the top end of the imaging range. Still, the versatility of such a lens is not to be denied. The 4k crop will be interesting to see on the FZ1000. I think that, much like most compact devices currently shooting 4k, it's more of a gimmick, still, than a viable feature BUT it is the first to start moving more towards the viable feature end of the spectrum. Those memory card requirements are going to be a bummer in the wallet for some, however :) Anyway. RX10 vs FZ1000: another Sony vs Panny argument that is sure to last the summer.
  2. Hey Andrew, I'm on the DI field team for Sony out in the Rocky Mtns... we were told that the XLR-K1M adapter unit would be compatible with the A6000. The MI shoe on the camera also supports the XYST1M stereo mic, the ECM-W1M bluetooth wireless mic system, and the ECM-GZ1M Mono Gun/Zoom mic. I'll get word on the XLR compatibility shortly. If it is, then the sound options open up considerably for the A6000 user for sure.
