Panasonic DC-FZ80K Final Thoughts

"Love this guy."

It is light and easy to carry with you. Only gripes are slow focus and short battery life. Mirrorless has come into it's own. The Panasonic DC-FZ80K was with me at all times. I will be upgrading to a better lens when finances allow.

"Ridiculous!"

The camera is fast, sharp, and most important to me - light. Let me talk about them briefly. The Sony is a great light weight mirrorless camera. The second problem is the focusing controls. So I bought this for my California vacation.

The flash can be overpowered rather than the subtle fill. Even with the lens, battery and SD card, it weighs very little. The second problem is the focusing controls. I wouldn't trade this camera for anything! Switching back and forth between photo and video is cumbersome.

That's why I replaced the stock lens caps with Sony equivalents. Low light is extraordinarily good. Fast or continuous autofocus. Low light seems to be better than the GH4 or G7. Best High Resolution Mirrorless Camera on the market right now.
