Sales / Good deal – The Panasonic Lumix TZ80 “5 stars” camera at 311.99 € (-12%)

Implacably, Panasonic unrolls the common thread of video and 4K Photo. Logically, the Lumix TZ80, successor to the large-zoom compact Lumix TZ70, benefits from these attributes. This is also the main novelty of the newcomer who almost manages to pass the return to 18 Mpx for an anecdote.

Discreetly, but surely, the Lumix TZ80 further improves the TZ lineage. It’s not so much 4K that makes it better, but a set of small, coherent and well-felt improvements, which make it a pleasant and efficient box to use, which you will enjoy taking with you with your family, on trips, everywhere. An excellent vintage full of wisdom and maturity.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

The Canon PowerShot SX620 HS is practical (yes), light (yes), slips into a pocket (yes), versatile (25x yes) and incredibly easy to use. But its image quality leaves something to be desired, its video skills are outdated and, if you are looking for 20x zoom or more, it is better to turn to the previous generation 30x zoom compacts, which are often better equipped or of better quality.
