I got it brand spanking new for $200. Best point and shoot camera I have ever owned! The lady who sold it to me never got it out of its package.

This video convinced me to get the FZ80! Great work!

A fantastic video. I bought my Panasonic Lumix FZ80 in 2022. I bought it for birding and used it in the iA mode. I am just now learning all the features of the camera. This video helped me so much. Thanks.

Two weeks with it, I like it, I don't think I need that much zoom, but was what my money could buy currently, will try to get a FZ1000 II or 2500 if I can next year ☺️

It got me back into cameras I got it for 230 used like new on Amazon and it’s a fun camera really good for the awesome zoom capabilities, really good day time shots, low light I cant really take any great pics but I have a mirrorless camera now that takes really good indoor and low light pictures

Fabulous. Thank you! I love this camera but have still had some trouble learning how to use all of its features. Thank you for doing this video.

Love your informative and honest in-depth reviews with no drama, Ted.

Just acquired this camera brand new in the box so this video is a real winner. I would never know about all the features & will be re watching for sure.

[Ayestas]

This is the best review that i found it about this camera, i love it!

[graceisaweapon]

Now I appreciate my camera even more! So many features that I haven't tested yet. 😊

Great video. If your prepared to work you can get some good shots. Especially in good light. These cameras are great value.

Thanks for your video. I bought a copy of this and I think it will take some getting used to. It’s very stripped down, but it’s great to have it with you when you need a little versatility. If you shoot in raw there are a number of software options to deal with the noise. I still like the images better than the over processed stuff you get from your phones.

I really love the weight, size, zoom etc. I gave my canon with all the lenses to my grandson as it was getting too heavy. But I have to say, it was easier to learn and use than this one. But I know I will really enjoy it once I learn how to use it. Thanks for the help!

I've been using this camera for several years now, and in many things it's great. Amazing zoom range, decent sharpness in good light, relatively small size. In moderate to low light, it's terrible, dynamic range is also pretty bad, but for the price, it's amazing.
Recently i found my good old Fujifilm S5500 (20 years old now), and it is still working, i was surprised how much sharper, faster it is. Sure it's really outdated, but i forgot how much fun it was. With the FZ80, i constantly have to keep in mind what to avoid. It's like an overly sensitive friend where you need to be extra careful. While the S5500 is just a good old buddy who you can trust and you know he won't get mad for some dumb jokes.
It's a great camera, but i don't love it. I need to find the perfect conditions for its taste, and the pictures will look amazing. Anything else, and the results will look cheap, even with a ton of work in post.
However, an old macro lens i had fits perfectly to it, so i can take really nice close up pictures!
Currently thinking about upgrading to the RX10 IV, that might be a great choice without having to carry a ton of stuff with me.

Thank you for your fab tutorial, also showing you superb photos. I found very interesting indeed.. Thank you again

[trainspotter_sk]

I would be interested in a comparision between the FZ80, FZ82, FZ83 and FZ300. Like what are the differences in image quality? They all cost about the same

[chersgear]

For some reason it is fuzzy or a bit pixelated looking through regular viewfinder, yet large screen is clear.

Yay I found this video with a night shots, so what i can say this one reminds me a lot of canon p600, especialy that it's shows dark at the low light condition, and it a bit upsets me that even iphone is brigther, even start thinking that nowadays phones as samsung s23/24 ultra with 10× optical and 100x digital can beat it at night.... it would be pefect camera if only sensour could pick more light. But i just love this size it's just perfect size, but sensor... only left to have a look is lumix z1000, well let see. Thanks again

[theuktoday]

I use mine all the time and was using yet again today, There is a hack that extends zoom to 3000mm

[Madosrd-sn]

How does the FZ80/FZ82 compare to the nikon B700 i'm going on a safari in a few weeks and want an easy to use point and shoot with good zoom length
