Excellent review and a very worthy camera at that price, the lack of mic port is a bummer especially for filming outdoors, I learned that lesson the hard way myself lol but I do love the Lumix

[@TheCRTProductions]

Thanks very much, my old camera had an external port but the mic I bought for it didn't work with it! Apparently something interfered with it on the camera itself. I might try using it with this one and just connect it to my phone to record :)

Thanks for the great review, I'm considering this cam for some stock 4k video shooting, b-rolling, maybe some nature hiking. Appreciate your time, thanks for sharing your opinion.

[@TheCRTProductions]

Thanks for watching! I'm enjoying using it a lot. I'm really impressed with the quality of the videos, especially as far as the contrast and overall image quality. It really feels like watching something shot by a DSLR. If you're shooting in windy conditions and want good audio be sure to get some sort of external mic though!

[@anonuzer3394]

@@TheCRTProductions Well please share some more video samples if you get a chance. I want to try some milky way photography and some wildlife shots and I think this will be the perfect camera at an acceptable price. Keep up the great work, Rob

[@pnotuner1]

Graham Houghton KZbin channel is mostly dedicated to Panasonic Lumix cameras. But most of the functions are the same with any similar camera. Maybe a different button here or there. Since your camera doesn't have a touchscreen I would recommend watching his videos on the FZ70 and FZ200. He is an excellent teacher.

Shoutout dawg your review was quite helpful. I mostly want to use it for pictures and you arent too impressed with the picture quality of the camera. Still might purchase it because I'm at least able to add a Panasonic lt-55 lense that should help with the picture quality. Thank you once again

[@TheCRTProductions]

The pictures are what you would expect from any cheap digital camera from the last 10 years pretty much. Considering the price on eBay for a pre-owned one is half the original MSRP I say it's absolutely worth it, though.

[@carloscuevas5658]

Great Video buddy

Thanks!

[@jimo5564]

I own this camera and I was happy to learn about 4K burst. Good job.

[@mutantkoffee]

This camera is so f00kin great, and not beacause I have on my own, is great for the price, and damn all the features are on spot for starting at photography. Not a decent, but a great one for the range.

[@TheCRTProductions]

Absolutely, the price really can't be beaten for what you get with this. I feel like this could be the ultimate travel camera, no hassle with DSLR lenses, but plenty of features (and ZOOM!) so you can just pack it up with a few extra batteries and go. Thanks for watching!

[@Tanstattoo]

Can you connect an external mic?

[@TheCRTProductions]

Nope

[@Tanstattoo]

@@TheCRTProductions okay thank you.

[@jaijai4941]

Your right about the noise but that noise can be removed using Freemake Video Converter as you can convert the Video File without Audi0, thus eliminating the Noise of the Zoom lens. There's are workarounds to the fixed display as you can purchase an External Camera Monitor which plugs into Hotshoe via USB Port and as for External Mic Input, have you ever considered a Wireless Camera Microphone which just plugs into the Hotshoe?

[@Del-Canada]

The ability to select an image from the 4K video is handy though. It saves you from needing to import the video and having to do it via post editing. You can do it right on the camera and then send the image to wherever from there. So yea, it isn't that much of a gimmick. It's kind of practical.

[@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568]

also, perhaps the shutter- button-pressed stills might somehow be being captured via mechanical, as opposed to rolling, shutter -this being, for obvious reasons, highly beneficial.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Excellent review! What software comes with the camera and how do you download photos for editing on a computer?

[@TheCRTProductions]

No software is included, you will need to use the built in importing software on your computer, or do it manually by plugging your SD card in directly

[@dexterseamusgaming3338]

[@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568]

can this camera also shoot still images using film?

[@transitoryrecords9045]

I just got this camera what are the best setting for good vivid 4k video capturing?

[@TheCRTProductions]

Like I said in the video, full auto settings aren’t bad, for a really good 4K video you will need lots of lighting though. Turning the exposure down will cut down on the grain some, which is pretty obvious if you are shooting in less than optimal conditions.

[@transitoryrecords9045]

@@TheCRTProductions Thanks for your input I'm getting it figured out a lot better. Great video too by the way very professional and insightful. I'm mainly a audio guy. Trying to learn film more now. Got this camera for a great price I could not walk away from it. Have a nice weekend cheers.

Hello, I wish you had done this review using the camera in question, otherwise I really like your review - it was very helpful and straight to the point. I have just a few questions - I am trying to start a vlogging hobby. If it is any help, I want to review cars in my vlog. Do you think this will do an excellent job? I liked the output here but I realize there are others things to consider such as microphone, stand and gimbal. Could you give advice concerning using this camera for such a mission? How could the mic problem be resolved since i will need to shoot and talk?

Any tripod ever made with a standard connector. Search “tripod” on amazon

[@AvaCalhoun]

Hi there! Is this good in low light settings?

[@TheCRTProductions]

It can do pretty good as long as you have it on a tripod. As far as video, no, especially in 4K. Raising the exposure will produce an incredible amount of noise. It’s a sort of nice horror movie effect though if you’re after that.

[@blankblankity451]

just want to give a tip, if your gonna be filming inside a lot, I wouldn't recommend it since it has a incredibly small sensor that causes a lot of noise that makes footage look grainy.

Oh now, what Bigfoot. 4:12 now he can be caught on video LoL, Nice man 👍🏼 yup over all the couple downside, i am overall happy with the camera, I'm not a Pro-Fessional so no need to spend a grand on a camera, $377 for the camera and the other additional stuff i got, and 3-year plan I'm Good.

[@scarlettmiami5582]

Hi, please one question. A sales rep told me that ALL panasonic cameras come with a 3 year guarantee, is that true? I bought a camera from amazon and i paid a 3 year protection plan so the sales rep told me it was a rip off. Thank you for your help.

[@TheCRTProductions]

Never buy third party “protection plans” when you buy electronics online, it’s a huge ripoff. If you buy things new 99% of the time the manufacturer is already going to provide a warranty. I don’t know the situation with Panasonic specifically.

[@Del-Canada]

I didn't notice, but does this have a silent mode?

How does this way up to the canon t6 ?

[@TheCRTProductions]

No comparison there as far as video goes. T6 does up to 1080p 30fps videos, while this does 1080p 60fps and 4K. The only benefit you would see is better manual controls. And very limited focal range...

Would it be a good cam to shoot local music videos

[@TheCRTProductions]

I believe it would get the job done, but I would suggest looking at a cheap DSLR or a mirrorless camera first as you can do a lot more with interchangeable lenses, and I imagine for music videos you would want the extra versatility

[@lkentartainment5659]

@@TheCRTProductions appreciate the reply..you dont have any dslr suggestions?

[@TheCRTProductions]

@@lkentartainment5659 The older Sony a57 can shoot 1080p 60fps, you can find them pre-owned for less that $200. I've been looking to get one myself but I haven't used one, just watched reviews (which were pretty good). If you want a new one then the Canon Rebel series is always a go-to.

[@manuhautermusic2300]

I think, the main idea on a music video is, to produce a good sound. The FZ80 does not have a connector for an external microfone. The FZ80 only can recording over the internal Electret micro (Sound is not really bad) . I would prefer, using a external sound recorder.

[@cristobalbarria2798]

@@manuhautermusic2300 no camera ever will have a good mic for music standard, get audio from the mixer and that's it

I know of one guy who uses an FZ300 ( same as this but more features ) i would say it isn’t ideal for that though unless you’re using it outside as well. This cameras thing is the zoom after all.

[@alexhein1738]

The only con here is the zoom in noise. It’s so loud.

That's why I'll probably be getting a Nikon P1000 when I can afford one. Second biggest con for me behind having no mic input.

[@Tinoo___00]

If only this Camera had an articulating screen then this would be the BEST(on my opinion) Bridge Camera I would ever want to buy Edit: Also if you know another Bridge Camera that has very similar capabilities of the FZ-80 but with an articulating screen, I'd really appreciate it you tell me

[@TheCRTProductions]

I agree! Unfortunately none do anywhere near this price point. Even if you remove 4K video recording, it will still be more than this one. The FZ300 is the same as this camera but with an articulating screen, but only 12MP stills and 24x zoom

[@Tinoo___00]

Ohhhhh well that kinda sucks, guess I'll just go for the FZ-80 then. Also I prioritize Photography so going for a 12mp might not be the best for me Btw thanks for the reply, I really appreciated it

[@williamoneill5498]

It's easy to criticise but if your going to do a bridge camera test, for F's sake choose some interesting material to demonstrate the visuals. Poor attention to the basics means your review is potentially lazy and thus unreliable.

[@TheCRTProductions]

It is definitely better than a camera phone, but 4K is basically useless. It’s grainy in anything other than optimal light. You also have no image stabilization in 4K. For 1080p60 it is decent but I would get something else. I’ll be making an update to this video before I sell mine

[@williamoneill5498]

@@TheCRTProductions If you know what your doing you can get excellent results from FZ80/82. Its like loading up a super 16 camera with the wrong film stock for the lighting conditions and then saying you couldn't pull out a good print so the Arri you were using must be a shit camera, ill leave it in its box. Thats whats wrong with most of todays photographers/videographers, you all have it so easy you expect to point and shoot and get the goods. The amateur settings on the FZ82 are set for the clueless to get decent results most of the time. Put it in the hands of somebody who knows what they are doing and you can get exceptional results and way above the price point of a mass produced consumer camera that costs peanuts compared to top line pro kit. Just my opinion and I am not passing dispersions on anybody either. Live and learn........

[@TheCRTProductions]

Well that proves that you didn’t watch a second of my video as I explain pretty early on that I would focus on video recording capabilities.

[@TheCRTProductions]

Also, I think the reason why Panasonic themselves call this a "point-and-shoot" camera is because it is meant to be a simple to use point and shoot solution for the consumer that wants more than a pocket P&S or their phone. This camera has full manual controls for those very few who will use them, but really if you're using this to set up shots in full manual wouldn't you be better off getting a Rebel? And by giving it 4K (and 60x zoom) most are probably going to be getting it for video anyway.
