Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ82D

Great starter camera for me to get into photography of wildlife with the long zoom. My only issue is the video image stabilisation at long zoom. It’s very wobbly and could do with a tripod, hence docking a star off. Otherwise very easy to use. Charging is very easy - I use my phone charger for this. Image transfer to my iPhone also incredibly easy, no need to remove the SD card for transfer. Overall good bridge camera on the cheaper end of the market.

Fantastic camera with remarkable pictures. My first bridge camera and it’s brilliant. Easy to use. Strongly recommend it.

I changed out a 10+ year old DSLR for this and no regrets so far. It takes some getting used to but as a mid way point between a compact and a SLR it’s a great bit of kit. I’ve still plenty to learn but took it on a trip to Isles of Scilly yesterday and got some great shots. Highly recommended

I bought one as my old FZ200 was having problems, switching itself off. The longer zoom also appealed. But what a poor quality lens in comparison to the FZ200! Pictures were grainy and dull even at low ISO. I sold it and bought another secondhand FZ200 - now that's a brilliant camera. Why can't Panasonic make an updated version of that with the same fantastic lens? I also have a TZ60, another good one.

The Lumix FZ82D is a brilliant camera with many features that do not appear on other similar cameras. I, like many others am impressed by the 60x zoom without having to swap lenses and also the 4K resolution. Not having such a camera before I was confused by one feature but this was resolved by the support staff who were extremely helpful. I would recommend this camera whole heartedly. The only disappointment is that it doesn't have WiFi. That said, if you need WiFi then install a WiFi sd card as I have.
