Panasonic Lumix FZ80

In my quest for evaluating "bridge" cameras, I got the FZ80, and tried it out for a while.

The camera is terrific value for money ($300, 65x zoom!). Terrific touch screen UI, and a LOT of nifty features.

However, the low light performance was a deal breaker for me. This should not be a problem if you take photos in the day time though.

All photos are the jpegs directly from the camera - no edits!
