Thanks CH.
Upon search information about Panasonic FZ1000 from internet, seems it is
the best choice under HK$8,000 (HK wholesaler) or HK$6,000 (parallel
import) for both still image & video shooting except its weight over 800g.
The maximum recording time will be a concern for the videos for working, I
have found a post in dpreview that if 40 mins for 32GB SDXC card is
acceptable.

Another concern of playing AVCHD & convert it to other format, it should be
solved.

However, related the disadvantages of playing back AVCHD video directly on
Mac OS in the 2nd article, my Apple cinema is old type 20" with 1680 x
1050. That means I have to convert the AVCHD video every time before
playing? Oh! My God!
Cheers,
Michael
