slight issue

lengthy instructions

drops off now and again

pushed the megapixels too

"yes the sensor is small in size but they haven't pushed the megapixels too far which will help with noise at higher iso values and the advantage of a small sensor is that you can have a huge zoom range"

56.2%

focusing and operation

"on the other hand the focusing and operation of the fz82 is noticeably faster although it still takes a second or so to turn on the new wifi capabilities are useful but could have been better with an easier transfer direct from camera to laptop"
