One Camera to Rule Them All?

It's been around for some time now, but the Panasonic FZ1000 gets a good review based on real life usage from Kirk Tuck on his Visual Science blog.

The most direct competitor is the new Sony RX10 II which supposedly has a better sensor, but based on the reviews I have seen that does not make much difference to image quality. While the Sony's build quality might be better, the Panasonic is much less expensive and can currently be bought for around £520 on a cashback offer. Then lens goes from the equivalent of 24 - 400, is reasonably fast progressing from f/2.8 to f/4 as you go through the zoom range. Is this really all the camera most of us would need for the majority of our work?
