The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Panasonic FZ80 / FZ82 Pros: Lightweight, 60x Zoom equal to 20-1200, Ergonomics Cons: Battery, High ISO, Exposure Times, F8 Diaphragm Opinion: It was my second bridge, bought in January 2018, after a few weeks of reflection more to see if it could actually be a suitable hiking companion than for the search for quality, I was positively impressed. I mainly use it for photos in the mountains during my excursions in all possible ways (ski mountaineering, skiing, mtb, enduro, trekking, snowshoeing, mountaineering), it is light and not bulky. We start to say that I almost always shot in RAW+JPG low quality and yes, I continue with this choice that I had already married on the reflex. The lens is clear, although as you go towards 60x, a little sharpness comes less, but it is a machine of less than 300 euros, handyman, and you cannot expect everything. If you then make my mistake of putting a cheap UV filter in front of us, you have spent little and thrown a lot of shots in the bin, personally I quickly switched to filters of decidedly higher quality and without compromise. I used it in various conditions and it has never suffered from any mechanical or electronic problem (we are talking about over 30,000 shots), with the zoom at 1200 mm it has allowed me to take shots at unexpected appearances of a lot of fauna, sometimes possible only in stakeout (and stakeouts I rarely do and only in equipped oases). It has a lot of functions and many in my opinion of marginal importance but from that point of view, it is more than complete. I suffered the lack of being able to go beyond the 4" of exposure and the night shots at the high ISOs better to let them go. I personally prefer the 3:2 format so the use at 16 mpx and in fact the quality, compared to the 18 mpx in 4:3, changes significantly. The F8 diaphragm, it could be (it's) a pretty heavy limit but I thought worse. In essence: less than 300 euros for a light handyman, full of functions and an incredible zoom, you have to compromise on some compromise but it is not money thrown in the most absolute way. Although it has now become my camera used (I also have an FZ2000 and a Nikon complete with optics and filters), I use it again and with a little care and knowing its limits, overall it remains a good bridge that gives more than discreet satisfactions. sent on February 03, 2021 |
 | Panasonic FZ2000 / FZ2500 Pros: Sensor 1", Performance Optics, Ergonomics, Dedicated Light Cons: Battery Opinion: I start that my choice to have a Bridge is dictated by the fact that I mainly use it to take nature photos during my mountain excursions and weight is fundamental, before I used the FZ82 and I decided to give up the 60x zoom to have a much higher quality and the indecision was between the FZ2000 and the Sony... I stayed true to the brand and didn't regret it. Challenged the first time in the store, I immediately felt it mine, wheels, levers and studs all at hand, and overall it really gives a sense of robustness (and the way I use it, I assure you it is). Waterfalls, rain, snow, sun, has seen them all, never gone into crisis (also for this reason I prefer the bridge to the reflex). The battery is not the best, but with a few euros I took a double charger and 2 additional batteries. Mainly I protect the lens with high quality UV and CPL filters (NiSi, Hayda and Hoya). 7000 shots in less than a year, they do not make me regret the REFLEX and its expensive optics, the night shots are always of quality as long as they do not overdo it with ISOs (I already at ISO1600 see difettucci, correctable but there are), macros have a level of detail and colors are very natural using manual white balance , good the automatic one although sometimes I noticed a little green and a blue a little load depending on the condition. Functions on the menu too many, some used only for experiments and personal curiosity, but they are there and for some they are not negligible. Excellent possibility to choose between mechanical and electronic shutter, just as excellent the possibility of having the silent shot. Videos and photos in 4K do not regret having the skills not being what is foundation for me, but those few I did, to me they actually look very beautiful. Autofocus does not miss a beat, sometimes it needs a little help but only in critical conditions (very dark scenes or zero contrasts, sometimes even in extreme backlights). I like the Live View, useful for night photography and not present on all the camera, even more famous. Electronic viewfinder with decidedly sharp and detailed proximity sensor, touch LCD that suffers a bit from light but I only use it for shots on the stand and at night, so it's not a drama. In short, versatile and with high-level performance in the segment, in many of my shots it has nothing to envy to many and much more famous SLRs. The only limit for those who want bokeh effect with push focals, is the diaphragm, with the reflex I noticed a big difference with the same opening and I would also say that an F16 for certain shots would have been much more welcome than the limiting F11. In any case, a bridge that has excited me and will continue to do so!!! sent on February 03, 2021 |
