"it comes with a manual in english but its better to download it and read it on the computer if like me the print is to small to read if you're looking for a camera with a good zoom time lapse and other extras this is just right"

"not only for zooming but also for some nice artistic shots framing and portrasits"

"so much knowledge is assumed that parts of it are either seemingly absent or cryptic in the extreme for people who simply want easily to be able to take great pictures either on high zoom or close up"

"having said that the fz82 does perform better in terms of auto focus and speed of operation and it is snappier"

"better sensor more detailed captures "target" focus tracking absolutely superb for capturing moving subjects massive zoom capabilities even better than before focus stacking & post focus brilliant!"

"sorry amazon i would have bought from you but i wanted it for my birthday present"

"this camera is well worth the money"

"the camera is slightly bigger than i expected heavier too but i bought the carry case at the same time and it fits perfectly in it so no issues with keeping it around the neck"

"great camera pictures are clear and zoom is easy to use"

"where the fz82 excels is in relation to its extended video capabilities the benefits of which are not limited to video"

"the optical 1200mm is amazingly clear and then you can go even further with the digital zoom which is quite good however your better off sticking to the optical and then cropping and enlarging as that is better quality"

"totally worth it"

"really quite an amazing camera especially as its come down alot in price of late"

"a superb camera which will give me endless fun and hopefully good individual results"

"the wide angle and zoom range of this camera are very good and it offers great value for money"

"the camera works fine but the photos arc crap they look blurred to me!"

"love: superbly fast autofocus 4k photo feature makes getting those "action" shots incredibly easy!"

"better sensor more detailed captures "target" focus tracking absolutely superb for capturing moving subjects massive zoom capabilities even better than before focus stacking & post focus brilliant!"

"previously had the fz72 like the upgrades and looking forward to using it"

"super camera for the price still quite complex for a novice but the quality of the pics and especially the video once you get it set up is great"

"many of this cameras stunning attributes are either already attributed to one touch button operation or can be assigned accordingly to four flexible function buttons lessening the need to get into the many menus and other amazing features this product offers"

"if you're getting into photography this is a great place to start"

"i've used it in bright sunlight dim interiors action shots and long exposure landscapes all without a problem"

"this camera need extra help when on the zoom or low light"

"i am extremely pleased with my purchase"

"add to this the 4k video with post focus focus stacking and features like zebra pattern focus peaking superb touch screen and logical menus and you can't fail to be impressed particularly at this price"

"it comes with a manual in english but its better to download it and read it on the computer if like me the print is to small to read if you're looking for a camera with a good zoom time lapse and other extras this is just right"

"i think it's a cracking camera for the price"

"the optical 1200mm is amazingly clear and then you can go even further with the digital zoom which is quite good however your better off sticking to the optical and then cropping and enlarging as that is better quality"

"this is a very technical camera full of features and customisable screens and options"

"it is not a super bright and sharp one but daam it is cheep and has a biiiiig zoom"

"it has much greater flexibility and when the functioning comes right its pictures are wonderful pin sharp and with much greater detail on close ups of wildlife such as butterflies dragonflies etc which is my main use"

"excellent camera with lots of features at a great price"

"i've ordered a small tripod so hope future shots like this one wil be even clearer"

"if however you have the time and the patience to learn some of these features then i believe that like myself you will not be disappointed"

"point the camera hand held at the moon on full zoom and take a picture"

"other than that very good for distance shots and wildlife shots"

"8 zoom lens and then a larger sensor that gives slr quality pictures with great leica optics"

"in all i have been amazed at just how capable the fz82 is and based on the experience i'll probably go for a bigger m4 3 lumix as my main camera"

"i am an experienced photographer with semi pro gear which weighs a ton"

"you can then play with an incredible amount of settings which gives differing results dependent on your knowledge or lack of it"

"yeah great camera and easy to use"

"but make no mistake this is a very very good camera"

"practice makes perfect of course but i do have a suspicion that the camera is one for semi professionals and very experienced enthusiasts who already have some knowledge of the huge range of features it has"

"overall i'm very pleased with it indeed and would recommend it without hesitation"

"if like me you're upgrading from a lower price range or simpler camera do be prepared for a voyage of discovery and experimentation"

"macro shots are great too"

"the lens range is really good and stabilisation seems to work well"

"three days in and thoroughly enjoying the camera"

"great zoomable camera for a relatively low price"

"as that panasonic camera model works well as a video recording device and as it has the same type of battery as the fz82 the extended range of video formats available on the fz82 all the way from 720p at 25 fps to 4k at 30fps made purchasing it a logical step"

"this camera does everything for you or you can just go manual and do it yourself"

"some improvements from the fz72 previous model such as the touch screen which you have to be careful of catching with your nose when using the evf as it will try to concentrate the focus on the section of screen that your nose is touching but ok when you are used to it"

"incredible camera!"

"the picture quality is pretty good and the array of features seems endless"

"i looked at mirrorless and dslr but quickly found out a decent telephoto lens would cost a small fortune"
