First superzoom camera with USB-C. No extra charger needed. Which also means you can charge from a portable USB-C charger just fine.
The zoom is amazing but more impressive is the OIS. there is no shake at maximum zoom. The viewfinder is very sharp and the main display is also very good. The pictures are very clear and the 4K/30 mode will be handy. It has a convenient flash too.
The only small downside is that they removed the FZ-80 panorama mode even though they still advertise it. Maybe they will bring it back with a firmware update.
This will be my trips camera. I am verry happy with it. My far bigger and heavier Nikon D500 will be for special occasions only.

Recently, I've been debating whether to upgrade my Canon and investing in additional lenses or purchasing something new. After much research and soul-searching I opted for what many are calling a "bridge" camera. Although it felt a bit like a step down from a DSLR, I had to recognize that I simply don't shoot the same way that I used to. I no longer photograph weddings or senior portraits and really just needed a good, reliable camera that was compact enough that I would be more likely to take it with me when traveling. More often than not, I find myself using my iPhone because I didn't want to have to haul my camera bag around. There were three main reasons why I chose the FZ80 model. 1. Ease-of-use. I already knew from my previous experience with my point and shoot Lumix that this would be fairly easy to use. 2. Affordability. I couldn't justify the expense of the FZ2500, but felt the features and functions of the FZ80 would meet my needs. 3. Leica lens. Perhaps this is a hold over from my film shooting days, but Leica lenses have a reputation of being extremely high quality. If I was going to be giving up lens interchangeability, I wanted crisp, beautiful photos.
I've only had this camera for a week and haven't had much of an opportunity to give it a good trial run, but so far, it's proven extremely easy to use and has resulted in some decent back yard photos. I only gave it 4 stars though due to the low F-stop range. I know it has a post-image editing tool to customize depth of field, but that seems like too much hassle right now for something that is a step above point and shoot. I haven't figured out the WiFi link, yet, but am looking forward to playing with that. I'm also looking forward to trying out the video function.
The photos below show the "pink" moon on April 10th, a series of shots at different zoom lengths outside of my front door, and some flowers where I played with the various shooting modes.
All-in-all, I'm very happy with this purchase. And the best part is that I was able to offset the cost a bit by selling my Canon EOS on eBay.

Easily gives hundreds of shots on a full charge.
I have included 5 pre- versus post-zoom images to show you how good it is. Evidence speaks for itself. In the pre-zoom the subjects are near the center in every example, so you do not have to play Where's Waldo. As you can see the zoom is exceptional. None of these images were taken with a tripod. Indeed for a couple of them, I was in a moving gondola above the mountains with camera in-hand.
Other things I liked:
•Wifi connect directly to your phone to move images from camera to phone (no internet required).
•Long battery length. I did buy a spare too, but was never worried about losing charge. The cam has a battery indicator display anyhow.
•Touch screen that you press what you want to focus on.
•Remote control your camera using your phone. Great for selfies.
•55mm lens means you can add-in other screw-in lenses etc. I used a screw-in 55mm UV filter for my images.
Things I did not like:
•Not many preset functions on the function wheel.
•Panorama will only go left-to-right. Refuses to work right-to-left.
•In many cases outside of zoom my cellphone takes better photos.
•Camera can be surprisingly complicated for a point-and-shoot camera.
•I could not get the macro to work. There are many macro settings and all seem garbage. Cellphone was way better.
•Oh, and the annoying "beep" noises when setting up and taking photos left me constantly embarrassed in quiet cathedrals when you are supposed to be silent. No idea if these annoying beeps can be turned off or not.
Overall - Buy this for the amazing zoom only. Other features are cute and OK. Let any other feature be a bonus if it works out for you. But cellphone cameras can usually beat this camera for everything but zoom. I still think it is worth the price, especially if you like taking wild animal photos.
