Correction: 02:48 Meant to say Nikon P1000/P950
Correction: 06:19 Actually it does shoot RAW!
Should you decide to buy the camera, using the link below helps my channel by me getting a small commission but doesn't cost you anything extra. Thanks for your support.

Was with a friend tonight - who loves her FZ-80. Flower shooter. Loves the colors.
i have a fz70 and i love that camera, very fun to use
I just got an FZ40 for like $45. The super zoom is so fun. I have a Canon R6 that I use for more intentional stuff, but just every day stuff, I use the FZ40 outside and my iPhone inside. That pretty much covers everything I’d want without costing very much at all.
Not a big refresh, but I’m just glad this means the super zoom bridge camera isn’t dead. Not yet. I feel like of all the compact digicams, the super zoom bridge is the only one that hasn’t been entirely replaced by the smart phone.
Thanks for making these videos. I enjoy watching them.
That’s great to hear ! Thank you
I bought the original FZ80 new when it came out, and i still keep it in my bag of cameras i carry around everywhere i go.
I enjoy bridge cameras.
I'm a pixel peeper, so 1200mm really isnt very usable for me; that lens is just too soft. Use it under 600mm for birds and insects under 30 feet away, and it's pretty good! I love the challenge of getting good shots with it. I'll buy the new one probably. 🙂
Thank you very much for your thorough and clear presentation!
I've been using the FZ82 for many years now (sadly the optics has started to show some errors), it's great for its price, and have been able to make some stunning shots. Sadly, it only works when everything is optimal for it, which is rare. But when it happens, it's amazing :)
Still waiting for the RX10 V to upgrade (which probably won't happen, i know)
This sounds great for me.I like to take pics of all the Hawks,insect,bug and vegetable at our community garden.Floyd Bennett Field Brooklyn.
I was hesitating, finally went for the FZ300. I don’t need such a long zoom, so the f 2.8 lens of the FZ300, although discontinued, did it. The price difference, brand, new, was negligible where I live.
Good choice its a great camera
It will be interesting to see a video comparison of both old and new version, especially in 4K30 video mode to see the difference in clarity and stabilization (wobbling and waving) at full zoom.
They should be 100% identical since the sensor and electronics have not changed at all. Just the few minor additions mentioned in the video.
As the sensor technology leap forward over time, small sensor like FZ80D could do excellent job in low light.
Still waiting for FZ300 mark ii, or FZ500 in the near future.
🙏
I have the fz80, it's four years old and causing me enough problems to perhaps be dropped in the lake (oops). I came by to check out the Fz80D version. With your reviews there is no guessing left. I like your honesty. At 1:17 of the video I can see one of my problems, and it;s the first time I have seen it anywhere else. In the bottom left there is an indicator RETURN.
That shows up after almost every shot on my camera and until I press the ok button I can't focus. That will make that thing gator bait. After I take the card out with the poor quality pics here lately. To me, in the video it seems the Fz80d has the same problem. Mine didn't alway. I have reset mine several time. I know it's more expensive, but the nicon 950p keeps calling. I need the reach. Do you have a compare me video for the 2?
Big fan of the FZ series and I have owned the FZ20, 50, 80, 150 and 200. Ive also shot with the 2500. This is kinda cool to have an updated 80 and for only $79 more than the original launched for. I will probably pick this up!
Wow, you are a loyal customer! Thanks for the comment
It looks like a decent starter camera. I never used a bridge camera. I had to learn manual mode on a DSLR.
I love the FZ80 it’s a little clunky but in good light takes great pics. Excellent vacation camera. Not saying it’s my main camera but in the right conditions it shines.
What a beautiful machine it has so much character modern trains have none
Looks like a great camera. It would be interesting to see a comparison with the FZ1000 II which I believe is their flagship "photography" camera. It has a bigger 1" sensor and cost more because of that.
Thanks for doing this, I'd heard it had been released. I wish it had weather sealing and a fully articulated screen. I'm toying with the idea of buying a used FZ300 for travel. Do you have any insight on if that model might be refreshed? I had the FZ150 for over 12 years and loved it.
Hi, I have not heard any rumors about any new models, the FZ300 or otherwise. Of course, this FZ80D came out of left field so we will never know but I dont think there is a rush for Panasonic to replace the FZ300 since its still currently being sold. The FZ80 was discontinued a while ago, and I think that was a clue something new was coming. Thanks for your comment.
@@techtoremember8096 Thank you for the response. I still may get the fz300, it's just about perfect for me, I'm just concerned with it's low light capabilities. Otherwise I'd already own one.
I have the FZ100 and FZ1000. Then later got the Sony RX-10 IV. The RX-10 is an amazing hybrid camera. I wonder if a cropped RX-10 image at its long end is as good as an uncropped FZ-80D at its long end.
Yes! Another video!
Small typo: I'm sure you meant to say P950 and P1000 are Nikon, not Panasonic, but definitely nice to see that feature on the FZ80. Also, the FZ80D like its early version FZ80/82, does have RAW, and you can definitely get a bit better processing out of the raw files even with these small sensors. Plus, bring it into Lightroom or comparable software and using AI / neural net algorithms to eliminate noise, almost makes these old/new cameras more feasible.
I've owned FZ200/300/1000 and they are all excellent. I do like the the quality of life features in the FZ80D, but like Leica's new D-Lux 8, wish they added a bit more in. Given the price of used cameras on the market, it is no wonder why manufactures are rehashing some old tech and also bringing them into compliance with EU standards.
Hey there, thanks for correcting me on those mistakes! Much appreciated. Yes I was kind of surprised as well on the Leica DLux 8 that it was also just a refresh --I would suspect to save on costs, they are not doing a full revamp of these cameras unless it can be shown they are in demand!
@@techtoremember8096 the D-Lux 8 is almost worth imo! Considering a used LX100II is going for over half the price of a new D-Lux 8. The new D-Lux, like the FZ80 has a better screen/EVF but it looks like they have been very thoughtful about the design, controls and UI to make it very Q-like.
I've read that the decade's old lens in the LX100/D-Lux probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of the newer M4/3 25mp sensor, and even a few more megapixels won't drastically improve the image quality. Apparently, the D-Lux is more efficient for battery life, so that is good.
I would love to see a revamped RX10IV, though I wonder if that Zeiss lens could still be manufactured? It seems like Sony has all but abandoned the small point and shoot / travel zoom market.
I had a chance to use an FZ300 again and was surprised how well it's sharpness could keep up with an APS-C superzoom lens like the Tamron 18-300. The latter still being more flexible, with better manual control over the zoom. Would be great to see an FZ300D or even FZ400! I might buy that camera.
I'm struggling to decide between this and the Nikon p950, what is your recommendation? do you think there is much difference in terms or quality, capturing moving targets and how they handle lower light conditions for wildlife photography?
Hi there. I do think the Nikonp950 has superior image quality. It is quite a bit heavier and more expensive but if you can afford it, or don't mind carrying the extra weight its definitely better. Better optics, better lens. The AF however isn't great (on either) at extreme zoom, ..Low light also isn't great but the NIkon is a bit better.
@@techtoremember8096perfect, thanks for the advice
D=discontinued….lol. Actually they improved the older model, and I’m sure they have a reason…and they know it will sell.
The burst mode is 10fps, but how deep a buffer is it? 5 shots? 10? 20? I can't seem to find that anywhere.
I replaced my Canon SX60 with the SX70 and not entirely happy with it as it focus hunts often. The FZ80D would be on my list if it had an articulating screen and a couple more features.
Its interesting, but without the articulating screen the FZ300 may still be better unless you want the reach. The prices are very similar though.
I think you are right.
Did they remove RAW ability ???
The FZ80 has RAW.
I think this FZ80D/82D Also has RAW capability.
Otherwise good video.
Subbed and liked.
Hi - sorry for the error -I made a note in the comments about this - it does have RAW ability Thanks for the sub Welcome aboard !
I believe you said it does not do Raw shooting but it does. It is in the menu.
Hi yes I made a correction in the comments about that Sorry about that
don't understand why these camera cos are discontinuing super zooms. Sure smart phones have generally killed off the camera market but no camera can do what super zoom cameras can. Also after Nikon discontinuing their p1000 , all of a sudden I see heightened interest for his camera, with high demand in the 2nd hand market.I've heard people selling their used cameras for even higher than they paid brand new.
Hello, I hear what you are saying but hopefully these camera companies will keep their eyes on things and if they notice the demand, they will start making these bridge cameras once again!
Just like their partner manufacturer Leica, who just released D Lux 8 which is a D Lux 7 in lens and processor but with new design and better button layout, UX.
Hi!! We could have improved stabilization by using new electronic stabilization technologies in newer phones or cameras. at least that... after 7 years I expected more. at least is there any hope of seeing a new fz 2000 or rx 10?
Yes it was a disappointing "upgrade" for sure. There have been no current rumors about a new Panasonic FZ2500 upgrade or a new RX10 model. It should be noted those models are still currently in the line and not yet discontinued. The FZ80 was discontinued about a year ago so gave us a clue about maybe a replacement.
Smartphones have tiny, crappy little lenses compared to this. My iPhone 15 Pro Max looks like garbage at anything past its optical 5x (120mm) zoom, which is hardly anything. This camera still looks great well past that.
Did I see a stop motion setting?
If I were going to get a superzoom, I'd get the fz300/330. I believe it is weather sealed. And the constant F2.8 would assist in lowlight.
It's great/solid/reliable and it doesn't mind the rain 🙂But honesty, it needs a better sensor now. The 12mp is OK and does the job, but you can clearly see the difference when compared to a 20mp, which is pretty much the standard these days. I know it sounds obvious, but it really is the case. Still, I love it.
@@bingbong4848 I have a ZS/TZ202 with a one inch sensor and a 15x zoom and 20megs. It's good enough for me.
So the question is has Panasonic tweaked the image quality since the original FZ80(?) ...he says no but you would think the processor has changed in 7 years.
It doesn’t appear that image quality has changed - but I plan on testing the camera and will report back !
I watched a report on the video of this camera and unfortunately it jitters. I would rather buy the Nikon P950.
I would have loved it with the 1 inch sensor….. in fact even the 1/1.7 or 2/3 inch sensor along with raw. 😢
It does shoot Raw I wrote a correction in the comments - but it has a small sensor
@@techtoremember8096 thank you for the update! It really helps in post processing 🙂
Will be getting the camera this weekend and will release a video hopefully next week with first impressions !
@@techtoremember8096 WILL stay tuned!
D is just for rear Display.😅
I've bought one of these, for it's compactness and zoom. I've realised it was a mistake already. Very noisy photos, the zoom, yes it's quite good, but the images are terrible. I know as a photographer with Nikon Z cameras I'm probably a little spoiled. But for a new camera, frankly it's a terrible thing. It's more like a toy. I wish I'd done more research. Good points, the only good points are the price (but expensive for a toy), zoom, compactness. Downsides, poor quality images, (which is paramount with any camera). Images are soft, zoomed images are terrible. You'll be better off buying a decent second hand DSLR or mirrorless camera.
I understand what you are saying. From your frame of reference with a Nikon Z, yes its not going to touch it. Some people are not as fussy and denoise and post process their images to improve the quality. For people that are into birding and wildlife, having that extreme zoom in such a compact package is worth the compromises.
I'll pick p950 over this
The 950 is a more substantial camera for sure but its also much bigger, heavier and more expensive. For some people who want to travel very light this Panasonic might be a good option.
I have both the Panasonic fZ80 and the more expensive Sony HX400V. Slightly less zoom on the Sony. The Panasonic is junk! The Sony is much better!
Agree ! Sony is better I reviewed the camera
In what way is it better ?
@@CaptainDarrick Maybe the D model is different but the pictures were not very sharp, not as sharp as the Sony
@@j.whisper2379 Good to know
When I think of super zoom I think of P1000. Evrything else under 125x not so super. Maybe call it mediocre zoom. Truth in advertising, or biden ad?
lol the p1000 is in a class by itself- but 1200mm is still a super zoom Keep sleepy Joe out of it
You talk too much and it gets on my nerves
Good ,then I’ll keep talking
