They also appreciate its user-friendly design, making it easy for photographers of all skill levels to take stunning photos. While some customers have mentioned that the image quality could be better, overall, the camera's strengths outweigh this minor drawback.

    Love the new features on this camera, but the light that show me that it is turned on quit working in the first month. It is now not available in store or nor line, so guess we will keep it for a while (we did get the Best Buy guarantee) and hope it comes back to the on line store soon!!!!

    This camera takes great pictures when it works BUT it does not like the heat. If you're outside on a 75 degree day it starts taking video or multiple pics all at once. To print your pics you have to edit them frame by frame. Guess this will be our winter camera since we've already passed the return window.

    Disappointing Zoom & Picture Quality

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I wanted to upgrade the 20x optical/4x digital zoom provided by my old Canon SX20. After extensive research of 50x+ zoom camera, the Lumix FZ80 came out tops. Once I got it, boy, was I disappointed. There was little difference in the combined zoom between the two. I compared pictures taken of the same item by both cameras that was 50 yards away. After cropping both to present the same picture, I compared the two. The Canon picture was a mite more crisp then the Lumix. BOTTOM LINE: I was no better off with the FZ80 than I was with my old Canon SX20. Needless to say, I returned the FZ80 and continue my search for a replacement.

    New camera, Full of bugs

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Brand new camera, looking forward to using it's many features...but, alas, I am very disappointed. The Time Exposure feature takes....1 second photos...not 1 Min or 1 hour as the settings are supposed to allow. Their very weak tech support is of no help - promise to 'escalate' the case, will get back to me. The Auto setting thinks a distant landscape is a "flower" and won't focus on it! A number of other bugs. Perhaps they will be fixed in a future firmware update, but no promises. If no resolution in a week, I will return it. Not exactly what I wanted for a brand new, supposedly cutting edge features! The bugs are outweighing the other functional niceties.
