Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The af macro and the macro zoom are incredibly impressive. Downloading images through their app to the iphone is doable but not always easy.

The flip-out screen makes everything seamless in focusing on subjects and tweaking exposure and iso. The only things i really don't like are how small the eye viewer is. Note that reading the fonts was not a problem when using the viewfinder rather th...  Read More

The battery lasts a long time. A little pricy but way better than a cell phone. Amazon sells a fine external recharger with two batteries (oaproda 2 pack dmw-ble9 battery and rapid dual micro usb charger).



Cons

Each time they repair this camera, it takes maybe 6 pictures and has to be returned for repairs. My biggest grip with the camera is the flash location, nice they built in but it is in the wrong spot. No way to get the pics to your phone or ipad via wi...  Read More

Even if this were free i would not use it since every one of my other cameras can produce far superior results. I cannot understand how a company can invest so much in building a brand, and fail to provide top quality service on the back end. No one w...  Read More

Panasonic zs80 is not even close to the nikon d5000 i bought over a decade ago. The image tends to blur, re-focus, and blur again, particularly when shooting video.

Quality


I've included a sample image to show you how crisp the quality is.


You really can’t beat the quality of its zoom capability too!

Price


I bought it during the holiday sales so the price was actually less than i paid for my previous camera which was two versions a...  Read More


It's better than my sony which was 3 times the price.

Packaging/appearance


Its on the right side, just above the the finger grip.

Competitiveness


First of all, i liked the build quality - it is much better than certain competitors.


The 30x optical zoom, the viewfinder and the touch screen are also great features.


The zs70 zoom and extra special close up are out of this world!

    The flash is placed on the camera in an awkward position so it is very easy to cover it with your finger

    But i now learned where that is and have learned how to hold the camera so i do not cover the flash

    Most cameras have a center popup or flash is located of the left side
