If you want the flexibility of a superzoom or ‘bridge’ camera, then the Panasonic FZ80D/FZ82D is very tempting thanks to this competitive Amazon deal.
It saves you from having to carry around extra-long lenses, so is a real ‘all in one’ camera. The Panasonic FZ80D/FZ82D has got a nice electronic viewfinder too and can record 4k video, though it lacks extras such as built-in wi fi.
Many people will decide they can live without this however as the Panasonic FZ80D/FZ82D now comes in under $500! So it would also make a great gift or back-up camera.
Panasonic FZ80D/FZ82D key features
- 18.1MP 1/2.3-inch MOS Sensor
- 20-1200mm equivalent f/2.8-f/5.9 lens (60x optical zoom), OIS

So long as you’re prepared to work within the limitations of the Panasonic FZ80D/FZ82D – i.e. shoot in the right kind of light, don’t expect superb sharpness, and be patient with attempting to focus on moving subjects – you’ve got a nicely usable camera which can deliver some good results.
It handles nicely and certainly gives you the feeling of being a “real” photographer. See our review here.
