The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Panasonic FZ80 / FZ82 Pros: Versatility, 60x quality even at the most pushed focal points, stabilization, autofocus, burst, battery life (even more than 800 shots) very workable files, wifi and rich menus. Cons: ISO seal (digital noise always present), non-adjustable screen, some fairly annoying constraints in night photography, greater energy consumption from the viewfinder than live view. Opinion: I started trying my hand at photography about two years ago with this Lumix and after studying it and fully understood it it was time to make a review of it. Many "hate" and don't understand the meaning of a bridge camera nowadays.. I totally disagree. A good bridge teaches you to photograph, to "play" with ISO, diaphragms and times and above all, thanks to its versatility, it allows you to experience all photographic genres thus orienting yourself towards what you like the most and all for little spending! With which reflex could you do this for the same price? Sure.. the quality will not be that of a reflex/mirrorless, but the files are very workable and with a little post production the satisfactions come. Speaking of other points in favor I can only mention the excellent stabilization, the burst (10fps that are about halved by shooting in AF-C and RAW) and autofocus. The latter is very precise, especially if you use a single point whose size can be varied at will. At the smallest possible size it can be moved (with really minimal displacements) all over the display and this is really convenient to focus (for example) a bird between the branches of a tree or the detail of an insect. Excellent possibility to control the bridge remotely via wifi and special application for smartphones. I enjoyed the rich menus, full of features and customizations! Perfect for macro-photography, combined with a raynox lens gives fantastic results. If controlled remotely via app, it allows micrometric shifts of focus, thus allowing the realization of perfect focus stacking. I only regret the absence of an adjustable screen, it would have been the icing on the cake for this photographic genre. Let us now turn to the cons. The sensor is small and miracles cannot be expected in terms of ISO sealing. Noise is always and I always say present.. even at 80iso you can see some grain. You can still do a nice selective cleaning, the raw file allows it well. But if you're not computer-able, you take jpg and you're purists, well. this machine is not for you. A negative point in the field of naturalistic photography is the huge loss of detail that you have with the crop. If you want sharpness, the subject must occupy the entire frame. Then beware of the composition! I continue with some really annoying constraints that you have to face especially in night photography. In manual mode it is not possible to shoot with times slower than 4s. In "artistic nocturnal" mode it is possible to get to 60s, but.. ISOs cannot be changed!!! They remain fixed at 80. I think this is a big castration.. this is probably a precautionary measure to avoid excessive overheating of the sensor.. another even more annoying constraint concerns the impossibility of removing the automatic noise reduction for long exposures that starts automatically and lasts the same time as the shot just performed (dark frame to be clear). You think you're in a special sunset situation that lasts a few moments.. you can take half the shots and that's really stressful. Taking stock.. machine that I really appreciated, with which I learned to photograph and that allowed me to take naturalistic photography with a really low expense! Super recommended for those who want to start taking their first steps in photography, but also for those who never want to deny themselves a shot (a 1200mm eq. that is carried comfortably in the backpack or in the car I consider it a must especially for those who do naturalistic and can not carry reflex + mega canvases every time they leave the house).
