Panasonic has launched the Lumix DC-FZ80D, an up to date model of its 60x superzoom from 2017. Will probably be bought because the FZ82D in Europe and the FZ85D in Japan.

The ‘D’ variants get a USB-C socket (with charging) to carry them into line with European rules, and see the panels in each the rear display screen and viewfinder introduced as much as extra fashionable specs. The fastened rear display screen strikes from 1.04M dots to 1.84M, which means a decision leap from 720 x 480px to 960 x 640px.

Extra intriguingly, the viewfinder strikes from a 1.17M dot equal area sequential panel with 0.46x magnification to a 2.36M dot OLED show with 0.74x magnification. That is a lot bigger, a lot increased decision and will not exhibit the rainbow impact that field-sequential shows are susceptible to. The factor that makes it fascinating is that these are the identical specs because the finder that is been added to the brand new Leica D-Lux 8. We have not been capable of finding an eyepoint determine for the Panasonic however the decision, magnification and diploma of dioptre adjustment all match, strongly suggesting it is the identical unit.

The FZ80D continues to be constructed across the identical 18MP Kind 1/2.3 (6.2 x 4.6 mm) sensor and three.58-215mm F2.8-5.9 zoom, giving it a 20-1200mm equal focal view vary. Will probably be obtainable at a really helpful value of $479, up from the $399 of its predecessor.
