Bang for the Buck
The 1200 mm zoom works very well. Use single point focus. Limit your ISO to 400. Weak in low light but you knew that. Good crisp shots can be got with enough light. EVF is a plus. Functionality exceeds sale price. I provided the requested info to get the free extended Panasonic 3 year warranty. They said they'd review my info and get back to me. Been a few weeks and haven't heard from them.

Good for the price
The material is simple, but the size and all-in-one are practical. The photos are good and can be very good with some edits. The touch screen helps a lot. It is a good choice for beginners and those who need a strong zoom. I am using it for wildlife photography and zooming is the reason I bought it. A DSLR camera plus lenses would cost 50 times more. it's very practical

Learning curve for complete beginners
I have owned this for 6 months and still have not learned the full functionality of the device. That being said, a person could learn easily if they put in the time. Even if you dont, you can get some really great pictures from this; pictures that I think look better than any photo a camera phone can take. The zoom is insane, moon and nature pictures are great.

Awesome little camera
As of yet I havent had this camera long enough to take a lot of photos but what I have learned so far about this camera is that it will be a great addition to my photographic equipment. The zoom range from 20mm to 1200mm is awesome! If I am in a situation where none of my DSLRs have the right lens attached, this will be the camera that I will turn to.

Great fun
I use this camera to reach out farther for animal shots and it gives me more distance for insect pics. I do find using a monopod for the long shots gives the best results. This isn't my first superzoom from Panasonic and it won't be my last because they just keep getting better and better. And what can I say about B&H, you're the best.

light weight SLR
I took this camera to a family re-union and took 400 photos on the first battery charge, nice battery life. I also managed to hit some button that made all the photos 'blue' when downloaded the next day. I major disappointment. I reset the camera settings and it has worked well this last month. I like the zoom speed and focus.

Great upgrade from my FZ-70
The FZ-80 has some new features while being the same basic camera as the 70. The main one is the WI-FI capability which allows sending pix to a smartphone, tv or computer directly. The accessory kit included a nice sized camera bag, which seems tailored for the 80, and a 32gb high speed SD card.

Love the Zoom!
I love the zoom on in camera and that was my reason for the purchase and the great price. I am disappointed I didn't realize the apertures were so few on this camera. Also using the A, P & M settings takes getting used to after using a regular 35mm. Overall it's a great point and shoot.

bad experience
This camera has some great features for its price, but the auto focus is terrible, the outcome is mostly blurred and grainy photos, the auto focus can ruin any great moment you want to capture, especially with video recording, Im really disappointed and I wish I could return it

Actually a very good camera
Overall I was very impressed with this camera. I use it as a backup camera just in case something happens to my main camera. The Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ80 has a hot shoe for a flash, can take raw format photographs, and has a manual mode. It is very lightweight and easy to hold.

Very disappointed
I had high hopes for this camera. The photos are very soft and full of artifacts. I own the Sony HX400v and there is no comparison. Very poor lens. The photos are over processed. I did like the menus and features on the camera, I do not recommend buying the camera.

Panasonic rocks
Its too early to reflect on all aspects of this super camera. The ones I have used are great. I use it as an artist to take my own photos as reference. Will keep trying each aspect and program. In love with it already. Thank you Heshie for ur suggestion n help .

Meets expectations
I bought this camera to take on an African safari. So far it seems to meet all expectations. The one thing I miss on this camera is not having an articulated LCD. Of course I knew this when I bought it. It still seemed to have the best specs for my intended use.

A lot of camera for the price
I wanted a camera for pictures for a trip to Kenya. The long telephoto lens and the video feature fit the needs of a non camera buff.This camera is replacing an older panasonic with a much shorter zoom that I have been very happy with.

Get Hooked!
On paper it looked impressive. On hand, why do you think I gave it five stars? Love the 20mm wide to 1200mm Tele. EVF is bright and clear. Focusing pretty darn good! The price? You just can't find anything else out there.

Lightweight Powerhouse
I have only just begun to explore the camera but already, it fits well in my hands, the zoom capability is mind boggling, and the burst capability solves many of my problems of catching a photo at just the right moment.

It is exactly what I hoped it would be. Great battery life.
I loved this camera for my rain forest vacation. The only feature I don't care for is the manual focus controls, they are not very intuitive. This camera saved me from lugging around a DSLR body and 3 lenses.

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
I AM NOT SURE IF I GOT A DEFECTIVE CAMERA OR THIS CAMERA IS NOT AS ADVERTISED. SNAPSHOTS AND CLOSE UPS ARE PRETTY GOOD. USING THE LONG ZOOM IS TERRIBLE. PHOTOS ARE HARDLY USABLE FROM THE LONG ZOOM.

Does everything at the right price
Really, just learning all the features, but from what little I've tried, it seems awesome. I guess I'm from the dark ages, because I find all those touchscreen functions amazing and convenient.

Great for beginner or pro
Optical stabilized means no need for tripod for most pictures. Great in low light. Can be used in full auto for point and shoot or program mode for advanced features. Built-in WiFi for sharing.

Great Super Zoom (for this price)
The super zoom feature is quite awesome. The quality of image is also pretty good for this price. I would say this is the best super-zoom camera if you do not want to pay more. Love it!

Lumix DC-FZ80 Digital Camera
Love this camera, purchased it for our vacation trip to Hawaii. I didn't have any time to play with it before the trip and found it very easy to operate and the photos are awesome!

This is one of the world's finest do everything cameras, at a point & shoot price. It's an absolute knock you down to your knees bargain. I'm truly blown away. Thanks B&H.
