Panasonic LUMIX DC-FZ82EB-K Digital Bridge Camera with Ultra Wide 20-1200 mm Lens - Black

Had this for a few months now. Cameras like this are always a trade-off. Yes, the sensor is small in size, but they haven't pushed the megapixels too far, which will help with noise at higher ISO values, and the advantage of a small sensor is that you can have a huge zoom range. The EVF is much better resolution than the previous FZ72, albeit it could have been a larger image in the viewfinder. Of course many compacts and even some bridge cameras have no viewfinder at all. The rear screen is also a touchpad, so you will need to use it to access some functions. In many respects, the FZ82 is like the FZ72. Some differences are relatively small tweaks. The creative retouch has been dropped, but such effects can easily be applied to downloaded images. In its place, there is a new healing-style retouch, but its usefulness is similarly reproducible elsewhere. On the other hand, the focusing and operation of the FZ82 is noticeably faster (although it still takes a second or so to turn on) The new wifi capabilities are useful, but could have been better, with an easier transfer direct from camera to laptop. Where the FZ82 excels is in relation to its extended video capabilities, the benefits of which are not limited to video. It will shoot 4K video at 30fps. It can also shoot HD at 100fps, or FHD at 60fps, which can then be replayed at 25fps or 30fps for a high-quality slow motion movie. It will also shoot VGA resolution at 200fps. In the 4K mode it is shooting frames that are 8Mp, and this can be used in a burst mode to capture split-second action. Note that 8Mp will produce a reasonable quality A4 print. There is even a feature that allows you to shoot a 4K video sequence with each frame capturing a different focal depth. You can then choose a single 8Mp frame or combine a range/all frames to get the depth of field you want. And last but not least, you can now take stop-motion animation and time-lapse movies!

been looking for a camera for a long time and did not want to carry a lot of lens about so after reading the reviews and about the camera i chose this one i wanted a camera with a good lens,time lapse and good make,i got the camera and put the batteries in to charge it,to charge it it comes with a cable and plug,this is the problem putting the cable in the camera was difficult but i managed it after a few attempts and left it to charge and ordered a charger and spare battery so i do not have to plug it in to the mains so that should solve that problem,after a few hours the battery was charged and i tried it out,very impressed with the zoom bit noisey zooming in and out but that's not a problem with most cameras i have had they are all the same,i tried most of the filters some had trouble focusing on the subject but seem to take the picture anyway and the results were good,i have not tried out all it can do as there is some mutch,i used the video which was alright,i dont do much videoing so i probably will not use it mutch,the time lapse was good,and the close focus worked great.i seemed to end up with a lot of pictures beeing videos even though i never pressed the video button so have to see what i am doing wrong,the lens cover drops off now and again so i will have to get a filter to protect the lens,the camera feels light and all the buttons are handy but will take a bit of time to know what they all do,i like the viewfinder and use it more than the screen.you can sort or retouch the pictures on the camera but i prefer to put them on the computer ,you can even download them to your phone through wifi with an app which i dont think i will try,there is no gps which people say is a down side but i have that on my compact camera and never used it as it drains the battery ,you can shoot in raw as well and take a picture in both at the same time,there is so much it can do i cannot try them all. it comes with a manual in english but its better to download it and read it on the computer if like me the print is to small to read if you're looking for a camera with a good zoom,time lapse,and other extras this is just right.,

I've only had this camera six weeks so my review is purely on my experience so far. Compared to my previous bog standard compact Pentax (Optio RZ18) this one is very sophisticated. Moving from that to this was a step change which I'm still coping with. It has much greater flexibility and when the functioning comes right, its pictures are wonderful- pin-sharp, and with much greater detail on close-ups of wildlife such as butterflies, dragonflies, etc, which is my main use. But establishing the correct settings to use under different circumstances, for those who want, or have been used to, "point and shoot" does involve a bit of a challenge, at least to start with. Practice makes perfect of course, but I do have a suspicion that the camera is one for semi-professionals and very experienced enthusiasts, who already have some knowledge of the huge range of features it has. To that end I subtract one star just for the inadequacy of the manual in the box. So much knowledge is assumed that parts of it are either seemingly absent, or cryptic in the extreme for people who simply want easily to be able to take great pictures either on high zoom or close-up. Having said that you can as always download the "full" manual from the website. If like me you're upgrading from a lower price range or simpler camera, do be prepared for a voyage of discovery and experimentation. But make no mistake, this is a very very good camera. Overall I'm very pleased with it indeed and would recommend it without hesitation.

Bisher werden bei der gleichen Einstellung manche Fotos unscharf, dies ist mir bei der älteren Lumix mit 25x opt. ZOOM nicht in diesem Maß passiert.
