Lumix FZ82D

An affordable 60x superzoom bridge camera with genuine 1cm macro focusing and 4K video/photo modes. In-lens optical stabilisation rather than IBIS, and a small 1/2.3-inch sensor, keep the price down — this is a reach-and-versatility camera, not an image-quality one.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
