ZOOM ZOOM Panasonic FZ80 Review with Test Footage

Go figure, the day I upload this video the price of the camera raises 50 dollars! So currently right under 400 bucks: goo.gl/pxNwbc I wanted a super zoom camera to look at the moon, planes, birds and other wild life and the Panasonic FZ80 offers a awesome bang for your buck.

Bought this camera in November based on your review! I was in Kruger national park imagining what I could do with such an amazing zoom! The camera is not disappointing

[@mightymarlo3101]

I just this camera a few days ago and at first I was Overwhelmed with all the buttons and being new to photography well coming from my iPhone 11pro max to this camera. I am loving this camera and thanks for the information and tips. And sharing your videos.

[@becky931]

Thank you for taking the time to explain some of the settings!

[@TheHudsonValleyWanderer]

That zooms in and out quickly. For the price its definitely a great camera for people who want a awesome zoom range, low price tag, and small form factor. I'm sure once I'm an elderly man ill be using one of these with a smile on my face. For birders this is great too, small and light, plus they have monopods that are also hiking sticks! Perfect budget friendly combo.

[@shadypasty3656]

Just want to say your review was very helpful as I just got this cam recently. Can't wait to use it!

[@ummkhel]

How did it go ?

[@keithwilson1702]

I bought this camera because I'm a birder, so I use it for identfication purposes. Because it's relatively small, it slides into my over-the-shoulder sling easily, so carrying binoculars as well is no problem. The zoom is crazy long, and I use a monopod in the field to help with stability.

I want to start bird photography and get this camera. Do you find the fixed LCD an issue?

@JRESHOW I live in the Quad Cities area too! As soon as I saw your first clip with the Dam, I was like hold on wait a minute.. that looks familiar. Cool to see other people in the QC area with YT channels! I literally just ordered one of these an hour ago off of eBay for $190 shipped. I'm excited and can't wait! Great video by the way!!

I just got mine two days ago. It has a Jpeg output HDR function which has a couple of options in the REC menu. You must be shooting jpegs for this to work. If you know how to make an HDR in photoshop from raw shots, you can setup for raw output and configure a series of raw images x-number of stops apart by pushing the exposure compensation dial and choosing, I believe, a burst option.

[@michaellyne8773]

Thank you for sharing your views over the Panasonic fz80, I have the fz82 I am yet to try it out properly due to the weather. I shall be taking this camera to my daughters wedding, hopefully I will get good results. Many thanks again for giving me an insight of what to expect. Regards.

[@lesnytropiciel]

Hi.Any noise on movie when you zoom in and out? And can you see video by viewfinder when you change zoom? Thanks for help 👍

[@richmurphy8144]

Hi, THANK YOU! your review helped me pull the trigger on this camera. I am a photography dunce and am going on a safari to Africa. I was looking for something with great zoom and point/shoot capability. I assume the intelligent auto setting should do this nicely. Hoping I made the right decision. Thanks again

[@JRESHOW]

Rich Murphy for the price you cannot even come close to beating it. The only thing that I don’t like is that the screen is fixed. Besides that, it’s a steal. Intelligent mode works fine just make sure when you first get the camera to change the quality to 4K as it comes 1080p - that way you’ll have the best quality. When you get it have a look at Mars... I was just looking at it last night. Going to post video soon!

[@ahub87]

I have the same concern. I'm going on safari in December and am racking my head on what camera to buy as I am not a photo wiz at all

[@richmurphy8144]

Bear in mind, I am not a photo wiz either. I literally read the instructions and practiced with the camera only days before we went to Africa, and reread on the plane. Bottom line, it was a great camera for me. Set it to an auto mode and it was pretty close to point and shoot. I had to discard many shots because of my hands shaking (user error) but the ones I kept were fantastic. The zoom is amazing. I'm sure it has lots more functions that I will never use, but it more than exceeded my expectations, and I am very happy with the camera. I would suggest going to a photo store if you have access to one locally and see if you can play with it for a while. Good luck, and have a great trip!

[@driftingintoretirement]

Great video subscribed

[@schwimmermoe]

Thanks for the video and valuable details. But you didn't mention if it's suitable for macro photography like shooting plants and insects and other tiny wildlife creatures? Thank you

[@roribune8162]

Without the optional macro-converter it's pretty useless for macro. it just can't focus close enough.

[@johnnyrotit844]

I remember trying an FZ300 and instead of stopping the recording it made a.new file that seemlessly continued and you just put them back to back in post. Wouldn't the FZ80 have the same?

[@CRJ08]

I got mine last week, still learning to use it, has downgrades compared with my previous Samsung NX1000(APS-C 20-50mm) but the zoom compensates, probably will try to get a FZ2000 or FZ1000 II, I am loving the 1200 mm zoom but I think 400mm is fine for my use.

[@jamesconner3437]

Just a note for purchasers looking for their fist zoom camera over 30X : ....some people who see a KZbin video on a superzoom cam and say "too much softness", or "too grainy" don't know what they are talking about. Over the past 10 years I've owned maybe 7 zooms from 24X ( "amazing" 10 years ago...lol...) to the FZ70 with 60X. The moon and all subjects probably show the effects of heat waves, humidity, and pollution in the air just as much or more than lens "softness". Only perfect desert or mountaintop conditions can be depended upon to give accurate comparisons, and I don't know why "professional" reviewers don't tell you this when they go outdoors. Get a UV / CPL / Lunar filter(s) and that will help a bunch. This said, JRESHOW does a very nice job on his presentations....just wanted to add my comment in. PS: Just ordered the FZ80 from B&H Photo, based on having liked the FZ35 and FZ70 before. I also own the pocket friendly jewel Sony HX90 as an everyday carry, and a Sony A6300 for low light. Most of my stuff I buy as Open Box from name camera shops...not eBay unless the seller is a Top Seller with 99% approval.

[@mikerhinos]

Exactly. I'll add that if people wants better photo quality they need a reflex, and good luck to cover the 20-1200mm with anything else than a bridge... :)

[@ahub87]

I assumed most of the blurs were heatwaves...they look like heatwaves...but what do I know

[@scarborosasquatchstation1403]

James Conner ~ Thank You for the additional info , and if possible could you please tell us how this camera handles compared to your previous Panasonic models , either very light rain or cold weather days near the freezing mark ? Plan on doing field research year round , and require an all purpose camera in 4K with a very good zoom for the picture quality , on a very limited budget of $ 400 Cdn. + Any additional camera equipment that would make this Panasonic FZ80 that much better to use in outdoor woods/forest conditions ?

If it’s on a tripod and you won’t be moving the camera turn stabilization off. If you plan on tracking objects like airplanes you can experiment with it on and off to see what’s better for you.
