The FZ1000 is marked as having a 1" sensor which in turn is a lot smaller than M43 like the GH4s,the HC-X1000 sensor is 1/2.3 is that like it apears smaller than the FZ1000s,if this is correct this prosumer camcorder has a sensor similar to 870/970 models but equiped with 50/60P and other more pro features,could using this sensor be the only way to get the 20x lens reach on the HC-X1000.

Basically, yes. The bigger the sensor, the bigger the lens. The bigger the sensor, the harder it is to for engineering to meet the targets of price, zoom range, and f/stop. The compromises are obvious; one of the first things to go is zoom range.
