Drop an RW2 RAW file from your Panasonic Lumix FZ80 (also sold as FZ82) to check the shutter actuation count — processed entirely in your browser, never uploaded anywhere. The FZ80 is Panasonic's 18.1 MP all-in-one superzoom bridge camera with a 60× optical zoom lens and 4K video.
Check Shutter Count →The Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ80 (2017), sold as the DMC-FZ82 in Europe, is a versatile superzoom bridge camera aimed at travellers, wildlife enthusiasts, and video creators who want extreme reach in a single affordable package. It features an 18.1 MP 1/2.3″ MOS sensor, a Leica DC Vario-Elmar 60× optical zoom lens covering 20–1200 mm equivalent (f/2.8–5.9), 4K video at 30 fps, 4K Photo burst mode, built-in O.I.S., Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a 0.2″ built-in electronic viewfinder. Panasonic does not publish an official rated shutter life for the FZ80.

Yes. Drop an FZ80 RW2 file into shuttercount.app to read the total actuation count directly from the Panasonic MakerNote. Particularly useful for evaluating used FZ80 bodies on the used market.
The FZ80 and FZ82 are the same camera with different regional names. North America and some Asian markets use the FZ80 designation; Europe uses FZ82. Specifications are identical: 18.1 MP, 60× / 20–1200 mm zoom, 4K video, and RW2 RAW. Both names refer to the DC-FZ80 / DC-FZ82 model code.
Yes. The FZ80 records 4K (3840×2160) video at up to 30 fps in MP4 format. It also supports the 4K Photo mode, which extracts 8 MP stills from a 4K video burst at 30 fps — useful for capturing fast-moving subjects. Note that 4K Photo sessions can rapidly accumulate mechanical shutter actuations when combined with post-burst mechanical shutter captures.
The FZ300 offers a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout its 24–600 mm zoom range, a splash-proof body, and a larger built-in EVF — making it better for low-light shooting and outdoor use in uncertain weather. The FZ80's 60× zoom (to 1200 mm equivalent) offers greater reach at lower cost. If you need maximum zoom reach and 4K, the FZ80 is the value choice; if you need low light and weatherproofing, the FZ300 is preferable.
