Open Box: Used Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS80 Digital Camera - Silver undefined

The Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS80 is a pocket-sized camera that features a range of well-rounded imaging features and capabilities. It features a powerful 20.3MP 1/2.3" Live MPS sensor that is capable of producing high-quality images, even when shooting in low-light situations at high ISO levels. Together with its advanced imaging sensor, the ZS80 can shoot continuously at up to 10 frames per second (with single-shot AF), at 30 frames per second (in 4K PHOTO mode at 8MP), and UHD 4K videos at 30p. The 4K PHOTO mode can also produce stromotion images through the combination of sequential exposures into single, dynamic-looking frames. Complementing the camera's versatile imaging capabilities is its long-reaching Leica DC Vario-Elmar 30x zoom lens, which offers an equivalent focal length of 24-720mm. Paired with a 5-axis POWER Optical Image Stabilizer, camera shake is greatly reduced to produce sharper images when shooting handheld. The camera comes in all-black or silver and features a built-in 2.33m-dot electronic viewfinder and a 3-inch 1.04m-dot tilting touchscreen LCD. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity have been integrated to allow wireless sharing of photos and video files, as well as remote control of camera settings via a compatible tablet or smartphone.Travel Zoom CameraThe LUMIX ZS80 features a 24mm ultra-wide angle 30x telephoto LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens (35mm camera equivalent: 24-720mm). From dynamic landscapes to distant subjects, this versatile zoom range makes it easy to capture virtually any subject, in any situation - especially helpful when traveling.Optical Image StabilizerThe POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) effectively compensates for hand shake to minimize blur, even in telephoto. The LUMIX ZS80 provides a Zoom Compose Assist function to help regain the subject quickly when sight is lost in telephoto simply by zooming out when shooting.20.3MP SensorThe LUMIX ZS80 incorporates 1/2.3-inch MOS Sensor with 20.3MP.DFD and FocusingThe LUMIX ZS80 integrates DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology to shorten set focus time, resulting in the ultra-high speed AF. The LUMIX ZS80 boasts high-speed burst shooting at 10 fps (AFS) / 5 fps (AFC) to capture fast-moving subjects just in-focus, and even allows consecutive shots in RAW.4K VideoThe LUMIX ZS80 records high-resolution QFHD 4K video in 3840x2160 at 30p or 24p in MP4 in addition to Full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 60p video in AVCHD Progressive or MP4 (MPEG-4 / H.264) format with practical full-time AF.Note: Max. 15 min.High Speed Video RecordingHigh Speed Video mode enables recording subject with fast motion in FHD at 120 fps (60Hz Area), while Time Lapse /Stop Motion Animation are also available.4K Photo ModeWith 4K PHOTO, the LUMIX ZS80 lets you capture fleeting photo opportunities at 30 fps in 8MP equivalent resolution by extracting the most photogenic frame from the 4K burst file to save as a high-res photo. And with the added Auto Marking function, choosing the best shot out of hundreds of frames is easier.Sequence Composition ModeSequence Composition makes it possible to create a stromotion image by synthesizing multiple images shot at a fixed frame with 4K PHOTO. A unique image reflecting the subject's motion can be easily produced in the camera without needing a special retouching process. Post Focus and Focus Stacking functions are available as well.Live View FinderThe LUMIX ZS80 integrates a new 0.21-inch 2,330K-dot equivalent LVF (Live View Finder) into a high magnification ratio of approximately 0.53x (35mm camera equivalent). The image output between the LVF and the rear monitor is switched automatically with the eye sensor on the LVF.Creative ModesSelfies can also be shot in panorama, ideal for selfies and group selfies in front of dynamic scenic backgrounds. With Creative Panorama function, you can shoot a horizontal / vertical panoramic image with consequent shots taken by overlaying the previous picture and reflect 18 filter effects.3.0" Touch and Tilt DisplayThe 3.0-inch 1040K-dot static type touch control monitor has a 180-degree tiltable structure. When the monitor is flipped up, the camera automatically activates the Self Shot mode to shoot attractive selfie portraits using Soft Skin or Slimming effects on the face.After shooting, you can apply virtual makeup to the face in playback mode with the Beauty Retouch function.Bluetooth and Wi-FiThe LUMIX ZS80 integrates Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity for a more flexible shooting experience with instant image sharing. Once connected to a smartphone or tablet installed with the Panasonic Image App for iOS / Android, you can shoot, browse and share images remotely, plus choose the picture quality of the photos you send.USB Battery ChargingThe LUMIX ZS80 keeps you shooting with a long battery life for approximately 380 pictures per charge.

Used Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS80 Digital Camera - Silver undefined

Pros:
Nice zoom, light weight and not bulky.

Cons:
Network connection, Bluetooth and picture upload are not on par with current user experience expectations.

Overall good

This is my second Panasonic camera. My first one still works but I wanted something newer with a little more zoom and MP.  This camera is a bit bigger than my first Panasonic and I think this camera might be a bit smarter than I am with all of its features and options.  I've only used it once since I have it.  The area I used it in I've been to dozens of times so didn't really need a camera for the day but it looks like it took really good pictures like I was expecting.  I would say the price was a bit more than I wanted to pay.  I expect this one to last 10 or more years.

Great camera lots of features

Great little camera. Fair price and quick shipping.

Lumix

Wonderful camera.  Lightweight yet feels substantial.  Adorama gave me a great package with this order, including a carrying pouch that's just the right size and a cleaning kit.  Better value than other online stores.

Panasonic LUMIX DC-ZS80D Digital Camera

I bought it to  replaced a 35mm DSLR.  I am finding that it will do everything that my other camera would at about 1/3 of the weight.  It will be much easier to travel with.

Panasonic DC-ZS80D

This camera makes taking picture quick and easy. Images are colorful and sharp.  Size makes it easy to carry in a coat pocket.  Great camera for travel. I wish the aperture range was wider. I had some difficulty connecting the camera to my phone but was eventually was able to get the connected. Very happy with the camera as a point and shoot camera.

Great Point and Shoot Camera

Great point and shoot zoom camera. I purchased this to replace my full size DSLR for when I need a camera but don?t or can?t lug all my gear. I was impressed with the quality of zoom and shots for such a small camera.

Perfect point and shoot

Well, it is compact and does offer an amazing zoom range.  It also has a very usable viewfinder, which is very helpful in bright sunlight.  The menus are fairly easy to navigates, and the ability to shoot in JPEG and RAW is a big plus.  

The only, albeit significant, downside is the use of a very small sensor.  The crop factor of such a tiny sensor is how such a large zoom range is achieved, but that also means the user is dealing with what is basically a cell phone size sensor.  I found the image quality was on a par with most cell phones, meaning it is fine for landscape and portrait photography.  Anything else, including any subject that requires using the large zoom factor, will show severe artifacts and pixelation.  It is basically a competent snapshot camera, but just is not good enough for much else.  Mine was returned after a week of trying to get the ZS80 to do what I wanted it to do.  The image quality is simply not what I had hoped for.

Convenient, but not the best image quality

Just a solid small ?fits in your pocket? camera. Power on is fast. Battery life is hundreds of photos and recharges quickly. Zoom capability is excellent. Macro for closeups works great. Just set it on auto and fire away

Excelente pocket sized digital camera

Purchased for travel; light weight, small size, tilting mirror were all pluses; small sensor not a big drawback for me as I have a GX85 with a similar layout if needed.

Smaller Lumix for travel

A great little camera for hiking and general use under circumstances when a larger camera isn't practical. This camera is easy to use and has a nice assortment of features. It is a bit larger than the ideal pocket camera, but is easily carried and accessible using a small belt clip case.

A great little camera at a fair price!

Camera does not connect to Pixel 6 phone. I have tried repeatedly, and been swindled by a company 
 (Justanswer)who promised to tell me how it's done. They sent links to two videos with instructions for other cameras. It's a nice camera but get used to manual transfers via memory card.

No connection to Pixel 6

This camera has more bells and whistles than I think I need, but I may yet try playing with them. My main desire was to have more megapixels and zoom power than my last point-and-shoot camera without spending too much, and this Lumix gave me that. I haven't had time to play with it properly, but am very happy with a few comparison photos of birds in the garden. I look forward to using the burst function to catch those birds in action.

Simple Needs, But Camera Offers More

This is a great camera with a big zoom and very little weight. Perfect for hiking, travel, etc?

Go-to hiking camera

The DC-ZS80is a truly pocket sized camera. I really like the articulated screen plus view finder, and powerful zoom. I am still learning all the functions, but I took it on vacation got great pictures. Only issue, it might be a bit TOO small. Buttons are close together and takes some care to grip. Could be difficult for someone with large hands. But it's better than using cellphone, in my opinion.

Lumix DC-ZS80

So far I like this little Lumix. Takes nice sharp images with the Leica lens. And has raw file which was a key selling point. Downside, setting changes are not intuitive and the full manual is over 300 pages, and the directions are a bit vague.

Nice Compact Camera

Very Impressed.  I've made my living for 35 years behind the camera.  I wanted a "pocketable" camera so I could always have a great camera on me.  (i don't like cell phones)  This camera exceeds my expectations.

Buy it.  You won't be sorry.

Great Camera

Would probably give it 5 stars but I went to transfer some pictures to my phone while out on a trail using the Bluetooth and it said I needed Wi-Fi but when I do it at home it disconnects my Wi-Fi. Bluetooth should not need Wi-Fi. I also want to install the image app on my PC and that does not seem to be very easy to do.

great camera

I have owned several Panasonic Travel Cameras and have generally been pleased.  This model is one of the best.  Nice wide angle and the extended reach of the camera works well if you use the viewfinder.  I use a Micro four thirds camera for most of my photography but when a bigger camera is a negative, this camera works well.  Very nice camera for the price.

Just what I Expected

It?s an ok camera. I thought the other versions with a smaller sensor were better. I have had several LUMIX, Canon, and Sony. It is good for someone starting out. Going to sell mine.

Good Beginner Camera

Love the camera and the bundle accessories.It came complete and earlier than expected. Still learning about how to use all the features. It fits our use for a smaller camera to use on hikes with a great zoom.

Great for nature photos

All parts of the bundle were there. Got the accessories we wanted at a great price. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time.Love the extras for the same price as others charge without the goodies.

Hopeful photographers

Awesome deal for great quality

Great deal and quality

So far, it seems like a nice camera. The bundle also seems like a good value and provided what I would have bought separately; plus some stuff I don’t need. The camera bag is way too big.

Good bundle of camera, extra battery and more

I've owned this camera for about 3 months and am generally pleased.  It travels well, takes great videos and movies and has many setting options.  The trade off is the viewfinder is small, although the rear LCD screen is bright and can be used in most shooting situations.  I can't pull up the RAW images on my Mac, only the jpegs and I don't want to install the Panasonic software.  Jpegs are fine for my purposes.  The included instructions are basic.  I found a well written book on the very similar ZS70 model which helped me understand and use many of the options on this camera.

Nice Travel Camera

From day one I have taken super pictures better then I thought possible from this small but incredibly capable camera.  Its a delight to use but better yet it takes great picture close or far...….

Digital Camera

Have had some time to play with the new camera so far I really like it seems to take great pictures and have plenty of options. One of the reasons I bought this camera specifically was it’s Bluetooth ability to stream photos to my phone as I’m taking the pictures. That function works exactly as you would expect it to work.

Heading to Italy later this month so I will update the review when I return
