"first things i had to consider due to health issues with my back was weight its very diffcult for me to carry at full size slr these day's as when combined with battery grip batteries telephoto lens and other bits and pieces its a weighty combination and while i dont carry around the largest amount of lenses etc the weight was still close to 2kg which was causing alot of pain after a few hours the a6000 even fully kitted out is a gem at 685g with the 55 210 attached"

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

"the zoom is excellent as long as you stay still or use something stable"

"wow what an awesome camera quality is out of this world zoom is unbelievable and very very stable hardly any shake noticed i need to get more as we are all fighting over who gets to use it it has a lot and i mean a lot of features going to be fun getting to know them all but also can be used as a point"

"suprisingly great battery!"

"cant complaint with 4k quality"

"the direct link by wifi on the camera asks for a username and password when setting it up"

"while it may not come up to the standards of dslr it is a very capable consumer grade camera"

"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"

"great results so far with this camera loads of full auto options and zoom for the average point and shooter and evan more if you get into the settings and functions a bit deeper to impress the more experienced photographer like macro focus stacking built in"

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"incredible camera!"

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