The Panasonic FZ-80 camera --Review with photo & video samples 

No problem ! I love storm chasing actually. Are you a professional storm chaser ?

@@techtoremember8096 No, not yet. I may be able to do my first couple chases late this summer. Otherwise, next summer looks like I should be able to storm chase. And then you have the winter storms or other storm systems in the fall and winter and early spring.

Ahhh...bs man....u so lucky bro...I'm buying 1..

Thank you!

Awesome ! Congrats on the camera

Thank you. Yes getting those birds is tough !

Hi there. That’s a very good question ! For the best picture quality in video I’d say the Sony Rx10 4. If that is what your asking. However if you want a really long zoom with better stabilization and can sacrifice a little picture quality then I’d say the Nikon p950. But if you would consider a camcorder then hands down the Sony Ax53 is great too !Thank you for your comment !

Hi there. I appreciate you watching and commenting on the video. Sorry to hear you are struggling with the camera. Usually when someone describes the video as "stuttery" they are referring to the frame rate-Sounds like you have the camera set to 30fps which is the highest frame rate. To get the smoothest possible motion, 60fps makes for the best video, but unfortunately this camera maxes out at 30. I would suggest you try not to pan the camera quickly and do not zoom while shooting. Compose your shot and keep the camera steady and this should help any motion issues. Not sure why the video isn't sharp. There are adjustments to up the sharpness in the camera. The other question I'd ask you is, are you watching the video from the SD card itself? Make sure you have the proper SD card. If you are using a slow SD card thats not designed for 4k, then the video will lag and stutter. Make sure you have a class 3 speed 10 card and a computer fast enough to play 4k video. To test this, try shooting in 1080p and see how it plays. If the video plays smoothly in 1080p and not 4k, then it very well could be the speed of the card is too slow for 4K. and just swap it out for a faster card. Let us know if any of this helps! Regards.

Hi there. Yes, both cameras have their strengths and weaknesses. Actually, the FZ80 is now officially discontinued so you'd have to buy it second hand most likely unless you find someone that has some old stock. I do think it produces better images than the Canon but there are certain quirks which annoy me about the FZ80, like the rear screen being fixed, that eye piece diopter that is always changing focus because it is so loose and a few others. To me, picture quality is the most important thing so I would get the Panasonic over the Canon. The Canon's stabilization is worse and is very grainy in low-light. Thank you very much for your comment and kind words!

It’s next on my list !! Thank you

Sony alpha 1

I did not ! That’s a digital zoom I assume How is the quality ?

Hey there, for sure .yes!

Yeah for low light at a concert I would agree. The Fz300 for a small sensor has a fast lens so is better also. Coming out with a review soon if that one

@@techtoremember8096 thank you for your comment! I went with the FZ300 and it is a great upgrade :)

Hi I’m not sure I understand your question - what grid are you referring to ?

@@techtoremember8096 The grid that will show the division of thirds before taking the photo

@albertop3883 ok I’m not with the camera now but I can check for you this week

@@techtoremember8096 okeyyy thanksss

HI there. Ok -you need to simply go into the menu and then go down to the third tab on the left where it shows the wrench icon with a "C". Then go to page 4, where it says "Guide Line'. Then you can set it there. Hope that helps.

What’s a Lair? lol
