First of all, full credit to Panasonic for spotting the trend and re-introducing two of its compact cameras of yesteryear.
Unfortunately, both the new FZ80D/FZ82D and ZS99/TZ99 use a small 1/2.3-inch sensor to get their big zoom ranges at an affordable price – and the image quality suffers as a result. So they sort of do qualify as amongst the best bridge cameras and best point and shoot cameras right now, simply because they are available and affordable. They're just not great.
