The Panasonic Lumix FZ80D/FZ82D is a great example of a handy bridge/superzoom camera, with a built-in lens that zooms right out – so you don’t have to carry around lots of lenses or run the risk of missing a distant shot.
Amazon has cut the price to $419.99 for Prime Day, so it’s now something of a bargain for a camera offering 60x optical zoom with image stabilisation.
Even if you mainly use a DSLR or mirrorless camera, it would work well as a back-up or a starter camera for a friend or relative.
Panasonic Lumix FZ80D key features
- 18.1MP 1/2.3-inch MOS Sensor
- 20-1200mm equivalent f/2.8-f/5.9 lens (60x optical zoom), OIS

As we said in our original review, with the Panasonic Lumix FZ80D ‘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.’
