• The wide image angle lets you capture a large part of your surroundings.
• Thanks to the Post Focus function, you can choose which point to focus on after photographing.
• The camera doesn't have a tiltable screen, making the camera less suitable for vloggers.

Top camera for beginners and pros

I've had the camera for a week and a half now and my first impression is very good. The camera is very versatile. Everything you need in a camera is on it. Focusing is very fast, you can also quickly take photos in succession. Photos in the dark are beautiful and well exposed. In a lot of light, the photos are rarely overexposed, which is the case with many cameras. At 60x zoom, I recommend using a tripod when the sky is not clear or you take the picture indoors. Despite the well-functioning image stabilization, it can prevent the photo from becoming blurry at 60x zoom. I've experienced this a few times in cloudy weather. The viewfinder is a handy feature when it's bright outside and you can barely see the screen. Make sure that you do not touch the screen with your nose while using the viewfinder, because then you will focus on an unwanted object and your photo may become blurry. For optimal use, it is wise to read the user manual. The camera has many options, which in my opinion are not all that easy to find. Editing on the camera itself is a top feature (only possible if you record the photos in RAW). Also note that for 4k filming you need an sdhc or sdxc card with the uhs-I u3 speed (min. 30mb/s ), class 10 is not enough.
In the attached photos you can see the camera with lens cap, and at full zoom (60x).
I hope this review has been of some use to you and that you have been able to make a choice!

Great camera for beginners

The Panasonic Lumix FZ82 has now been delivered for a week. A camera that can be used fairly quickly. First fully charge and then you can start. It's an easy camera when you use the easiest functions. Being able to shoot quite a few photos outside and then the lens will not let you down. Easy to take a picture of a seagull on the beach, while it was in motion. The camera helps you focus, but is also lightning fast when shooting. Just quickly adjust the light balance and click. The camera is light and handy, but a bit large for smaller trips. It is, however, a top camera to take with you to activities or a nice walk. I am also amazed at how sharp the camera is when I zoom into the distance. Taking close-up shots and playing with sharpness and blur is really an easy task with this camera. Made more nice pictures in a week than I normally did. The camera starts up quickly and gives you the chance to take a shot within seconds. Nice camera for beginners and a mountain of possibilities with this camera.

Powerhouse.

Since I have this device, it is almost standard in my bag. Always ready to use. No more carrying loose lenses and heavy bags. ideal companion for all circ*mstances. The price is affordable for everyone and the photos are super good. Whether you are a beginner, advanced or professional photographer, it is suitable for everyone. A tip, buy a separate battery charger and battery. So you are always ready to shoot 9m.
