Reddit mentions of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 4K QFHD/HD 16X Long Zoom Digital Camera (Black) + Transcend 64 GB UH3 SD Card + 57 Inch Tripod + Camera Bag + UV Filter

If you don't like the RX100 IV's form factor and can stretch your budget by $298, you might want to consider the [$1298 Sony RX10 Mark II] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0165YNZS8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0165YNZS8&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link] instead.

The RX10 II, like the RX100 IV, can record slow motion at up to 960 fps.

  If you really need to stay below $1000 and don't mind a maximum frame rate of 120 fps at 1080p, you might want to consider the [$747.99 Panasonic DMC-FZ1000] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M77708Y/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00M77708Y&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link] instead.
  
  At 1080p, this camera can record for hours continuously (no 30 minute limit). Very useful for plays, events and long speeches.
