Best for
The TZ80 is aimed at travellers who want one camera that covers everything from wide 24mm scenes to distant 720mm subjects without changing lenses. The addition of a built-in electronic viewfinder helps with composition in bright sunlight, and 4K video plus Panasonic's 4K Photo modes were headline features for a pocket compact of its era. The main trade-off is the small 1/2.3-inch sensor, which keeps the body and lens compact but limits low-light performance and depth-of-field control compared with larger-sensor cameras.
