Great bridge camera for the beginner photographer

Gender:Male
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently started birding and went down a rabbit hole of research and YT videos. I wanted to capture birds through photography but do not want to invest in a DSLR or mirrorless camera and lenses until I am sure I am sticking with this hobby. I landed on the FZ80D which, for the time being, will meet my needs. The FZ80D impressively captures the distance for birding, it's great for family pictures and outdoor photos (not that great in dim lighting or indoor) and all on a fixed bridge lens. As I get more into the hobby I will consider a nicer DSLR or mirrorless but this more than meets my needs for now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Big problem
on October 28, 2024
Posted by: Jerry
Just purchased this camera and discovered it does not have WiFi or Blue Tooth capability, so it is impossible, or extremely difficult, to transfer photos to an iPad or iPhone. A deal breaker for me. Seems to be a very nice camera with great features, but if you can’t easily share your pictures it’s useless, so its going back.

What was Panasonic thinking?

I purchased this camera a few months ago and to my dismay, like another reviewer, discovered it is not WIFI enabled. Who makes a camera in this day and age that is not WIFI enabled? It just seems ridiculous. I also found out that there is no panorama setting. This explains why the camera's price point was so low. This was supposed to be my main camera but now this will end up being my back up as it is lacking in features. Definitely won't be recommending this one to my friends and family.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great beginner's nature camera
on November 29, 2024

Received this camera as a gift in August; I'm new to photography. I'm using it primarily for birding/nature photography and also general use/city photography. I've basically stopped using my iPhone for photos at this point. I really like this camera's zoom, shooting speed, and ability to take quality photos with no little experience. At this point I'm mostly using the intelligent auto settings but am starting to learn more as I go. The main drawbacks I have found are a relatively quick battery life (maybe around 2-3 hours of pretty continuous use) and lower quality in low light. For a beginner nature camera, I would highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!
