Good camera for my use
This was the second one of these for me. I had purchased the original FZ80 quite a while ago and, unfortunately, it got wet on an excursion. I use the camera almost exclusively outdoors. The superzoom feature of this camera is perfect for my use to capture photos of wildlife and views while hiking. The downsides are that sometimes, especially at full zoom, some photos I've taken are slightly out of focus. This is usually because the lens is targeting something other than what I want. I've found that touching the screen to "lock" on the target helps significantly. Still, it occasionally doesn't come out "perfect" but to get perfection requires a much more expensive camera and a lot more weight. 90% of the time, my photo is good. Taking a burst of shots helps. The other downside is low light performance. Again, most of my shots don't have this issue and the denoise features in Lightroom fix most of the problems. I shoot only in raw and develop in Adobe Lightroom. Anymore, the development process helps resolve most artifacts and thus, the camera is great for me.

Super fun super zoom
This is such a fun camera at a low price. Surprisingly light weight. Great for casual users who still love to capture decent pictures of distant wildlife especially in well-lit conditions. The zoom level is crazy. I got one for my husband and he loved it so much that I got a 2nd one for my mom, who also loved it.

Read before buying - this camera is great for what it is meant for, but not good for other uses.
This is a GREAT camera FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. Please read before buying. This camera is a "superzoom bridge" camera. That means it has a small sensor (it's physically impossible to get this much zoom out of any portable camera with a large sensor). So, it is NOT a professional grade large sensor camera to get the best depth of color and pin sharp detail. BUT, it IS fantastic to take traveling or hiking to get ALL the shots you cannot get with your phone. Your phone is amazing at wide landscapes, panorama vistas, portraits, low light, etc. HOWEVER, your phone SUCKS at natural looking macro shots (close ups of small things) and it REALLY sucks at long zoom shots - that wildlife off in the distance for example. This camera does a great job of taking the pictures your phone simply can't. It takes really good macro shots - like really good. Not expensive DSLR or mirrorless quality, but pretty close. AND this camera has lots (tons!!!) of OPTICAL zoom and high enough resolution that you can still crop to zoom in even a bit further and still have very solid resolution and quality (though not professional level by any means). Superzoom bridge cameras are, in my opinion, the best travel companion to your phone when you really need long zoom reach. And I believe this one is the best option for many people. It is cheaper, lighter, and smaller than the competition that can compete for image quality. Problems with (ALL) superzoom cameras: They SUCK in low light especially when zooming in - don't bother, get out your phone instead - it's great in low light. Once you get into twilight this camera will be mostly useless - but so will all similar cameras. They are a niche tool. Consider carefully whether you really need this amount of zoom. You can find 20X or even 30X large sensor compact cameras that will get better image quality and be even more portable, and 20x is still quite a bit of zoom, plenty for most uses. Problems with (THIS) superzoom: The physical and digital interface is not intuitive. You will need to spend some time learning how to use this. Having to push a button to switch from viewfinder to LCD screen is annoying (but not a big deal really). Taking any control over ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc is a bit wonky. It also lacks some bells and whistles like wifi connectivity. Great things about (ALL good) superzoom cameras: Optical zoom is the ONLY good kind of zoom. Digital zoom is just cropping down your picture and losing resolution. It has its uses, but it's better to just do it in the computer when you'll have more control. These cameras have TONS of optical zoom in a small package, making it possible to get shots that are simply impossible with anything else you can afford or carry around - to give you an idea, the Canon 1200mm zoom costs about $20,000 and weighs a "surprisingly light" 7.4 lbs and is 21 inches long. This camera will get you the same distance optically at 1/50 the price of just the lens, less than 1/5 the weight of just the lens, and at a size you can pop in a purse or day pack. Good things about (THIS) superzoom: It is cheaper by far than all other options that get this kind of quality. Half the price or less of the Nikons that are only marginally better. It is smaller and lighter than the competition. The Nikons are nearly twice as long when turned off (lens retracted fully). They also weigh about twice as much (the Nikon P1100 weighs 3.1 lbs compared to this camera at 1.4 lbs). Weight and size really make a big difference in a travel/hiking camera. The Image Stabilization on this one is as good as it gets in a superzoom, which REALLY REALLY matters when zooming. I've managed to get very acceptably sharp photos at 1200 mm (full zoom) while handheld with NO support. That is incredibly impressive. You'll need good technique - holding the camera properly, watching your breathing, and pressing the shutter without jiggling the camera body. To sum up, if you have been frustrated with the limitations of your phone when traveling, hiking, etc. and want something that can get all those pictures your phone simply can't without having to carry around a dedicated camera bag, this is a FANTASTIC option - especially when out in nature to capture the wildlife that can often be very far off in the distance. If you don't really need all this zoom, then maybe look at some of the more compact large sensor options that still have good zoom and can do good macro shots. If you have lots of spare money, and want the maximum possible zoom, and don't care about carrying a larger heavier camera, then consider the Nikon P1100. But for the sweet spot of those who need the zoom that goes well past 20 or 30x, and want the most compact lightweight option, or people who have a budget to stay inside, this is the best option on the market, in my opinion. I'm a backpacker who is also a photography enthusiast, and after doing tons of comparisons and research, this is the camera I choose to carry on the trail because it solves all the problems I had with every other option. I'm giving it 4 stars out of 5 only because of the lack of wifi and the less than intuitive interface. Otherwise, I think this is a perfect camera for my needs.

Good, capable ultra zoom
A very good and capable ultra zoom camera. Does almost everything you could ask. For some reason Panasonic left out a panorama function. Smaller, lighter and not quite as good as the FZ1000 which is discontinued. Ultra zooms are a dying type which is too bad. This is one of the only cameras of its type with a diopter adjustment on the viewfinder which was a deal breaker when comparing to Canon and Nikon models.
