ZOOM ZOOM Panasonic FZ80 Review with Test Footage 

Panasonic FZ80 under 300 bucks now!! - amzn.to/2Z4uZPI

I wish It had a flip out screen, Then it would be perfect.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Amazing review. Very thorough. Just ordered from Amazon and not really pumped to get this. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for this video - I just bought this camera based on your review (and everyone else) - hope that it will be as awesome as I imagine. I'm new to photography so this will be my first semi-professional camera.

Great review - thanks so much! I've got one of these arriving tomorrow and it looks like I made a good choice :)

Great review. Never bought a camera before, but this definitely seems like a good option for an amateur like me.

@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!!

1:44 - 1:50 Hahahaha! Nice edit... at the expense of the goose. Poor thing, now it has a complex about that. ;) Thank you for this video by the way. 10:55 Ahahaha! I had a feeling that was coming. Annnnd, noted: Make sure you are directly below an eagle. It is NOT a dropping, it's a torrent. OMG! And nice continuous zoom out compilation at the end. You are so creative. Thank you for the review! 5:20 Has Panasonic updated this so it's possible to record onto an external monitor and recorder like the Atomos Ninja V? In 4K would be awesome!

What a fantastic review!!

Great video! Amazing and thorough! Thank you so much :)

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.

Pretty darn impressive zoom for the money. Great video Brother.

i love what i heard about this camera and the zoom is awesome i wish i would've done my homework when i was buying my first camera but you live and you learn and i'm glad i did. i have a canon 400d and i like that camera i just need a better lens. i want the canon 650d and the 750d and i'm going to buy this camera as well. i wanted a full frame camera but they are expensive so i'm staying in my budget range.

Excellent pros and cons, great review.

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.

Very helpful review. I look forward to getting great shots of eagles taking a dump.

Thank you for sharing the video I didn't know it had Wi-Fi I forgot all about it so I appreciate your man and thank you great platform you explained everything on the camera perfectly thanks again

Thanks for that majestic shot of the bald eagle at 10:59 x'D

I'm using Canon sx740 but this video making me to buy one for my Aviation youtube channel. Awesome video thanks for sharing 👍

10:58 Best scene ever! LoL!

Just got the viewfinder and you could use that if it the screens too hard to see but I'm glad you reminded me I forgot about the Wi-Fi yeah man I'm going to download it now thank you for sharing this video such a great video thank you so much

Great review mine arrives this week impressive for the price 🙂👍

Great video subscribed

That's a good clear video for people like me that get lazy when it comes to learning new stuff.

Glad to see nice camera for this price :D

First video review I look up and it's by someone in the QCA. I from Davenport. Btw great review. Atm I do not own any camera besides my Samsung note 10. Do you highly recommend this camera for everyday use like going to the zoo. Hiking, taking pics of the mountains in Colorado. How are portraits of people and macros?

Thanks for Great Video.. One question before I buy it.. Does it record the sound with videos? Does it have plug for an external mike? Thanks, Michael.

LOL at the chickens slipping on the ice.

How do I adjust the volume to this camera..I can’t hear my videos after recording

Great review, so when you say you can't live feed this to a external monitor, nothing would show up on a monitor if you mounted one on?

Please, there is some external microphone adapter for lumix fz 80 Thanks a lot.

Is this camera good for vlogging? I am leaving for a 1 month vacation to spain on July 14th and I need a camera that I can vlog my travels with.

Great Video! Thank you very much.

is it possible to oparate the camera while charging? i mean connect with a powerbank for more backup?

does the viewfinder have too much lag?

I am interested in what you said at minute 2:38, that is making your favourite frame a still picture. I do not know how to get to the kind of image you show. How do you do it? Thanks in advance.

This camera or Nikon Coolpix b700?

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 👍

Nice camera.. What settings did you use to catch airpalnes, birds or far people on your vid for example ?

WoW!!! Do you have that camera? My microscope is even jealous. Nice footage, total spycam hehe.

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.

Enjoyed the video. How do you set the digital zoom ?

I just got this camera can your please tell me your settings for 4k videos that your are using.. the settings like iso for this video. Great video very fantastic!!!

Just a note for purchasers looking for their fist zoom camera over 30X : ....some people who see a RU-vid 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.

That eagle had some thoughts about you! LOL

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

I want a camera like this to carry with me to the Rock events, It would be nice to take advantage of that long zoom and get ""close photos"" of my favorites artist.

have a question can you activate the shutter from the phone app?

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

What is the largest capacity of SD card I can use in this camera?

Great review. All the other videos of this camera suck. Sounds like a great camera for the money.

Is there any kind of stabilization when you've focused on a subject?

Why when I record with this camera the video quality is fuzzy

Thank you. this is the only helpful review of this camera

Do you know if the FZ80 lets you manually set a shutter speed for videos?

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?

Can someone tell me how long the battery approximately lasts during a video recording?

If only it had a mic jack and flippy screen I'd be a buyer. I guess if it had everything then we would lose the price. Nice review, liked and subscribed.

what memory card is used for this. can you please send a link because i have seen too much memory cards and i dont know which one to use

This is under £200 on amazon right now, and I think im gonna go for it...is it a no brainer for a beginner?

Does anyone else have problems with disappearing text on the buttons? I already have my 3th 'backside' changed under warranty, within 2 years. Especially the Af/Ae lock and LVF text are disappearing.

getting that close up of the eagle taking a shit was classic!

I have a chance to pick up FZ82 for about 300$. Is it worth it? I just need a decent camera for a good quality pictures, and zoom is a big plus for me. And yeah, it would be my first ever camera, if you don't count some cheap, small digital one I had.

How would this compare to the Kodak AZ652?

Great review! I am very interested in this camera for a point and shoot with zoom. Also looking at the Cannon SX60 HS or the PowerShot SX720 HS what are your thoughts on those compared to the FZ80? Thanks 😉

the eagle pooping 🤣

At 20mm to 1200mm this may also be the P&S and/or Bridge camera with the widest angle lens ever built.

can you blurr photo shots with this camera easily?

*Love your review, important things, others say so much unnecessary shit, you should make a video on Nikon P1000*

Hi, I'm looking for something I can shoot RU-vid tutorials with indoor. Would you recommend this camera?

Can't wait till i'm able to start working so i can buy this camera

What setting did you have it on}?

Great review! Any comments on how it works in low light situations?

I'm looking for something with super zoom too! Thinking this might be what I need :) Thanks for sharing!

i know this is 6 years old but im thinking of buying one right now, do you have a video test comparing 4k 30 vs 1080p 60 ? quality pixel peeping etc ?

is the audio of the canada geese, starting at approx 1min43sec, sourced from the camera itself or was another audio source used?

I don’t mind having to crane my neck to take pics/videos of the sky as long as I’m looking through the eye piece

You mention that the HDMi is only for playback. So this can't be used as a web cam?

this one ? Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ80 Digital Camera this as a app with it ?

Should I buy the fz80 or p900 😪

Perfect for plane spotting tanks

zoom in zoom out is NOT smooth either on my fz200

Thanks

got mine for 207$ mint used on ebay. flipping love it

Muy buena Cámara.. Ya me conseguí uno. :)

Panasonic FZ80 - Nikon B700 - Canon SX70 - cual elegir entre estas tres??

nice!

I'm confused about the 15 minutes of recording time at 4K. Doesn't it depend on the size of the SD card?

I'm going on a safari in a few months and I'm stuck between this camera and the Nikon P900...which would be better for me?

how come on Amazon it Reads "Panasonic LUMIX Digital Camera DC-FZ80K a K at the end of DC-FZ80K ??? LINK www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS16V42?ref_=pe_623860_70668520_dpLink if anyone can please confirm this, and if its a fully Video camera as well as taking Photos? i too wanna zoom zoom on the Moon Moon, also can a Polaroid Studio Series IR Light Bar be added to this camera ??? ty also I imagine it has Auto focus yes ?

Some manufacturers tell you to turn off the stabilization if you're going to be using it on a tripod. What about this one? And what world you chose between this and the PANASONIC LUMIX DC-ZS70K?

This is my first ever camera I’m still learning how to use it but I use it most of the time in IA mode to take pictures of planes or the moon

hi...can i acess the pictures from my phone and use them trough my phone?

Hello. Please another videoclip for foto whith FZ80 please?:D Thank you
