Product Overview
30x Zoom Pocket-Sized Travel Camera
The new LUMIX TZ80 is so compact that it easily slips into a pocket for travelling, plus it features indispensable functions such as ultra-zoom and Panasonic's newest 4K video / photo technology. It brings you every detail, from intricate landscapes to faraway subjects and spur-of-the-moment shots. Capture all those travel memories before they pass you by, and save them in the exact form you want.
High Image Quality Even in Low Light Conditions
With the 18.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor and Venus Engine (the same engine as in LUMIX's high-end system cameras), you can take stunning pictures even in dimly lit environments.
Capture more details when you shoot in RAW format. The image data retains the original colour and light information captured by the sensor, with only minimal processing.
Now you can edit these high quality images directly and be amazed by the results.
Unmissable Moments with 4K PHOTO
Thanks to the LUMIX TZ80’s 4K technology, the 4K PHOTO feature allows you to capture the perfect moment in 30 frames per second and select your best photo after shooting. Simply shoot, select and save. With 4K PHOTO mode on the LUMIX TZ80, your magic moments become truly unmissable.
4K Video: Life in Vivid Detail
The stunning power of the LUMIX TZ80’s 4K Video allows you to record your journey in up to four times the resolution quality of Full HD. You get more excitement, more detail and even more memories to look back on with vivid clarity.
Shoot Now, Focus Later
Imagine being able to decide exactly what you want in focus, even after you've taken the photo. The Post Focus function on the LUMIX TZ80 gives you the power to do just that. Simply capture the scene, review the image and touch the part of the photo you'd like to be pin sharp. It's simple, stunning and all inside the LUMIX TZ80.
See It All, Control More
Sometimes, harsh sunlight makes even the brightest camera screens difficult to see. The LUMIX TZ80 features a Live View Finder which automatically turns on when you lift the camera to your eye, so you can see every detail and capture the shot you're looking for.
The Control Ring also provides comfortable control. In addition to giving you smooth manual control of the aperture, shutter speed, zoom and focus, it can be customised to handle your favourite settings.
High speed auto-focusing with DFD technology
Panasonic's Depth From Defocus (DFD) Auto Focus (AF) technology instantly calculates the distance between the items inside the frame and drives the focus of the lens in one fast, continuous movement. This system results in faster AF speeds up to 0.1 seconds and a burst shooting speed with AFC of 5 fps. It also increases the stability of continuous focusing when shooting video.

    Would this take good star photos?

      This has a very small image sensor so low light performance and dynamic range is not going to be the best. I wouldn't advise getting this if astral photography is your main interest.

      • BusMan247 on 09/05/2022 - 21:16

        To be fair when I got the iPhone 13 PM I was so impressed by the low light and photos taken in almost pure darkness, but then it dawned on me. I don't actually take many photos that I would use in the dark. Like they are cool to look at, but it's honestly bright indoors or sunny pics I share and send.

          You were in the darkness thinking about photos all night and then it dawned on you?

          I was thinking about taking photos in the dark, then it dawned on me, I went outside and took photos in the morning sunlight.

        • Skele-Cr on 10/05/2022 - 20:07

          iPhone uses machine learning and special image processing that makes photos at night look bright and nice. But traditional cameras don't have the feature. Astrophotography usually needs long shutters, fast wide lenses which are expensive.

      They actually aren't though. Phones are enough for some, but not all. And they're compact. So, fill a small niche.

        Phones are enough for most. The difference between phone and compact is just getting smaller and smaller, the differences are mostly had when you go high end compact.

        This is coming from someone who uses a Sony rx100. I got it to replace my massive Nikon DSLR as a travel camera, and even when traveling I mostly use my phone and just use the compact for night shots or distant shots.

    They shouldnt be selling this camera anymore since the tz90 and tz95 have both been out for several years now. These cameras all struggle in low light but also in bright light as they cant stop down below f16 and you get washed out sky at places like the beach.

    • JajaMinx on 09/05/2022 - 21:13

      Bought a Tz90 for work and returned it the next day… it's really really bad in low light.

    • wishing well on 10/05/2022 - 11:43

      By f16 you've probably lost 70% of your resolution to diffraction. Just use a faster shutter speed in bright conditions. The camera will do it automatically.

    Who uses these cameras these days?

      I use a 10 year old Sony Cybershot DSC-HX30V which was pretty well specced at the time, including 20x optical zoom and GPS - actually, it's still well specced, a testimony to how smartphones have destroyed the point and shoot market. It's been a faithful companion over the years and having the adjustable optical zoom makes for good shooting. Good size, too, obviously thicker than a smartphone but roughly the same length and width. Excellent in low light, too.

      We tend to use a mix of phones and cameras. Be interesting to see how my new S22 goes.

      Actually you are right.
      Back when we got the Samsung S7, Pixel 2XL and iPhone 7+, those were are phenomenal cameras. They do as it says on the tin. It replaces your Point'n'Shoot dedicated camera. But I wouldn't go the route of LG and Sony, which provided, professional manual tools, to their respective Camera Apps and attempt to make them "more".

      If you want something better, the solution isn't to buy a better cameraphone (eg Samsung S22 Ultra). Rather to get a dedicated hardware/tool for that task, which would require buying a DSLR or Mirrorless. And although prices of these actual "Pro" Cameras have ballooned over the years, that doesn't mean you can't grab something just as capable (eg Nikon D7000) from the Used Market for a ($400) fraction of the price.

      • Sapiens on 09/05/2022 - 22:19

        Recommend a Sony A6000 as well as the Nikon mentioned

      I was looking to get a compact camera and I found that if you spent around $300 you'd get something worse than a phone. You needed to get up around the $1000 mark to improve on a phone.

      • Bigrig on 10/05/2022 - 00:46

        If you keep an eye on the used market you can find mirrorless cameras under $500 with a kit lens. I got a Fujifilm X-A7 with a 15-45mm kit lens for $450. The photo quality is a lot nicer than my A52s and paired with a telephoto, you can grab shots that are impossible to get on a phone camera.

        • MikeKulls on 10/05/2022 - 10:03

          I was after something I could put in my pocket while skiing and other things.

    Any suggestions for a decent camera to capture videos of a cricket match (of course from outside boundaries 😀). From about 80 meters distance.

      • hellodealhunter on 09/05/2022 - 23:50

        Thanks. Any particular model ? I guess the primary need shall be a good optical zoom?

        • Rimas on 10/05/2022 - 07:02

          I got the VX1 model and it has a great zoom (24x optical).

    • Nos 4r2 on 12/05/2022 - 15:40

      2nd hand DSLR with a 200mm or 300mm lens.

      I used to use a 55-200mm lens on my entry level Nikon D3100 to take shots at the footy and it came up alright, would have preferred a 300mm though to get closer to the action.

  • Savas on 09/05/2022 - 21:51

    how does this compare to iPhone camera? I have the TZ60 and like the 30x zoom.

  • unifex on 09/05/2022 - 22:06

    Canon M6 mark2 with 80mm tamron lens + EF to EFmini converter is fantastic

    If you use the normal lens the camera is quite compact.

    Can't believe this camera is already 6 years old. I remember when they announced it like yesterday.

    I've got the TZ90 which is similar, and it's not bad for what it is. I've also got an old Sony DSLR and a Fuji mirrorless for reference.

    Like others have said, low light is terrible, a bit grainy overall. But that's not the point of it really; it's compact with a long zoom. You'll definitely be able to get some great zoomed in daytime shots you won't get on your phone camera.

  • dynaflow on 10/05/2022 - 13:54

    Smartphones haven't made Point 'n Shoot cameras redundant if (e.g.) you are a fisherman who wades in salt water or any other harsh outdoor environs.I have no inclination to carry an expensive Iphone or similar in these condition,and bulletproof cameras like the Olympus TG6 and equivalents from other makers will always have a place.

  • AwesomeAndrew on 10/05/2022 - 21:54
