    This camera is easy to use and takes great photos. The 60x zoom enables taking photos of things from a distance. It's also affordable.

    We purchased this camera for our son who is 12 years old, who is passionate about taking photos. He really likes taking nature and close up pictures. This camera does it all. The closeup pictures are very clear and so are the closeup zoomed pictures. We have friends who are professionals on this field and they are very impressed with the quality of pictures and videos of this camera. The Panasonic Lumix FZ80 is a great choice!!!

    If you really want to get that far off shot with beautiful results, this is the camera! Great for candid bird, butterfly and animal shots. I have taken tons of shots that I couldn't have with any other point and shoot. I love it! Just took a trip to Teddy Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota and got some good shots from afar. See attached.

    the fz 80 is an excellent camera. the 4k video is super high res, and it is a snap to get stills from the video footage.

    This is a great camera for the price. I wanted a reasonably priced camera that had both a viewfinder and a monitor and this Lumix was the right fit. It is very easy to transfer pics from the camera to the PC. The Basic Owners Manual which is included with the camera is clear and precise. I was also able to find the Owners Manual for Advanced Features (over 300 pages) for this camera (still reading this). This was a replacement for a Canon S45 which after 15 years just gave out. The only feature that takes getting used to is that when zooming, it takes a few seconds for the camera to focus clearly.

      Thank you for your feedback. The DC-FZ80 camera is an amazing camera. The advanced manual is lengthy but does have some great information about the operations of the camera. We also have lots of support online on our website, and many Youtube videos that could assist you. Panasonic

    I read the review and bought it based on review and reputation. This si a great camera with a great zoom lens. The camera has so many settings that I read a professional photographer uses it in addition to his other cameras. It is light weight and very well made. I have an upcoming trip to Europe and cant wait to use it there.

    Very nice camera. With the 60x zoom I can take pictures of the moon that shows crater details. Night shots are decent, though the flagship smartphones of the last year or so are better in low light. The flash is effective where practical (inside or close shots outside). Honestly there are more features than I will ever use. I would recommend this to anyone wanting more control and creativity than a smartphone camera, as long as low light was not a priority.

    Had the Nikon B700...horrible picture quality at a higher price point...no thanks! This camera is not only under $400 but takes quality pictures just as good as my LUMIX G85.

    At first it seemed good. I wasn't entirely impressed with picture clarity. 9 months later, it only works in Auto Intelligence mode. All other modes will take pictures but on any setting (single or multi) it takes 6 pictues in a row that are out of focus and dark and blurry and then really bright and blurry. I do not know what has happened. I've had a professional look at and has never seen this before and it is not any setting issue. I will be taking it back since I have total protection and see what the next steps are to fix.

    It is definitely a camera to begin on. I feel like it said it takes far away pictures and it’s all clear but I feel like sometimes those photos for me, don’t come out at clear. I would still recommend this camera.

    Camera takes great photos in auto mode and long range zoom works well. Haven't experimented with advanced features yet but can get creative with aperture or shutter speed priority. Large display is perfect for preview and provides brief description of features as they are selected. Nice cross between point and shoot with dslr features.

    Not what I expected. Takes blurry pictures and not as easy to use as I thought. I would not recommend it. Get yourself a canon or nikon point and shoot instead. Not worth what I paid for.
