Key Advantages
The DMC-FZ80 boasts an unprecedented 60x optical zoom lens providing great versatility for distant subjects without sacrificing image quality.
4K video and photo capabilities with 4K burst shooting provide users with ultra-sharp video and still images.
High-resolution electronic viewfinder offers precise framing and responsiveness close to optical viewfinders.

Limitations
While the sensor offers good performance, it is smaller than APS-C or full-frame sensors, which limits low-light capability and depth of field control.
The maximum aperture narrows significantly at the telephoto end which can affect image quality and light intake.
Autofocus, while generally quick, may struggle in very low-light or extremely fast action scenes compared to advanced DSLRs.
Battery life is moderate, requiring spares for extended shooting sessions or travel without charge access.
Bulkier than typical compact cameras, making it less pocketable and more suited for users who prefer a dedicated camera over smartphone photography.
The camera does not have a microphone input, limiting audio quality enhancement for videographers.
