Very, very impressive little camera with remarkably good photographic results. The zoom (X30) is quick and the automatic focus is very accurate. I took the camera to India recently and was able to get pleasing shots of tigers from a distance using the zoom ( I have not used the digital zoom to...

I have had quite a few cameras over the years and this one is the best so far, the amount of things you can do with it is amazing and if you download the app you can take photos without touching the camera so definitely no camera shake

Lovely super camera the zoom is great took some lovely pictures of birds and wildlife at my local. Touch screen is a good feature as well camera not bulky fits in your pocket or you bag would recommend to all

Easy to use; Fantastic zoom

I sold my other tz 80 . It appears to give everything my bridge camera gives me but so much easier to carry around.

The Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 is the natural successor to the TZ70 / ZS50, the previous flagship travel zoom from Panasonic. Forgetting about the TZ100 / ZS100 for a moment, the TZ80 / ZS60 remains the obvious choice for those looking to pack an awesomely long zoom range into a pocketable format.

The Panasonic TZ range is hugely popular when it comes to dedicated compact cameras, especially if you're looking for big zoom in a relatively small package. In 2016 the range is diversifying: 2015's TZ70 is replaced by the similar TZ80 (or SZ60 for our American friends), as reviewed here, but...

Touchscreen controls added; 4K video capture; fast autofocus; 30x zoom versatility in pocketable body; image stabilisation; mode dial and lens control ring for easy adjustment and functionality

No tilt/vari-angle screen; lens limitations at full zoom in low-light; 4K/Post Focus mode fun but not must-buy features; autofocus slows a lot in low light

The Panasonic TZ80 is a compact camera for people who want to have it all. It has a huge 30x optical zoom, but is very small and can even shoot 4K video. Its bullet-point list of features is pretty impressive. At ￡329, though, the Panasonic TZ80's images don't exactly blow us away.

30x zoom lens offers great flexibility; Small enough to fit in some pockets; Lots of burst mode options

Image quality not great; Lens is slow; and soft towards the end of its zoom; Some laggy parts of the interface

Announced at this year's CES, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ80 (also known as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60) features a 30x optical zoom (24-720mm equivalent) and is a replacement for last year's TZ70. It sits below the new TZ100 - last year's TZ57 has been discontinued and will not be replaced.

The Panasonic Lumix TZ80, also known as the Lumix SZ60, is an update to the TZ70 , which is the number one seller in the Super Zoom Camera category, and the new TZ80 features a new 18 megapixel sensor, as well as the same 30x optical zoom lens, and electronic viewfinder.

4K video recording; 4K photo features; 4K live cropping; Post Focus technology; MicroUSB charging (instead of proprietary cable; Dual axis electronic level; Eye-detection sensor for EVF; 5-axis image stabilisation; Dual axis electronic level; Built in help; Customisable function buttons; 3inch...

Small EVF; Purple fringing; Post focus is better on larger sensor cameras
