I love the "White Angel" shot, not just aesthetically, but having a ZS-80* I'm just surprised the shutter response was sufficiently quick to get her framed just so. It reminds me of a shot I worked on when I worked in a pro lab that a local Montreal photographer, Valerie Simmons, won a major Hasselblad award with, back in the early 90's. Very nice. *[ I think your TZ-80 was called the ZS-70 here in N.A. and is one development below the "80" we have ]
The reflection was my favorite and coincidentally I just ordered this camera a few hours before seeing your video. Great content as always, thank you for sharing your talents!
I am learning photography and went down the “better gear will fix my pictures” rabbit hole. You constantly show me that I am wrong, but thank you for talking through the composition process. That is what is forcing me to slow down and compose my shots.
@@raksh9 sure, just like having a nice instrument inspires you to practice more than having a cheap one, but it's still up to the individual to actually practice. It's not an automatic thing.
What this re-inforces to us is that the camera is not important - a photographer's post-editing software skills are the key. I already knew this, but your video proved me correct. I still love your channel anyways.
I just want to thank you for showing me that the older compact cameras really do help create wonderful photography.Your skill and your imagination however, both create beautiful art. This is a wonderful video that you created.
Honestly, all of the pics turned out great! I'm a sucker for skylines, but I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ship. And getting the perfect moment with the girl in the white dress centered in the wings was outstanding! I have a ZS200 and will often take it out in my pocket as a "just in case" camera when I don't feel like taking a larger camera.
My "main" camera is the Lumix S5 and some expensive lenses. I also have this TZ80. Despite the f8 minimum aperture, this camera really does "kick above its weight" in terms of the actual features (too many to mention, so check online). I would suspect that most viewers of the many TH-cam channels dedicated to photography are not professional and, like this presenter, rarely have prints made. This camera is more than capable of producing good results and I do wonder about the need for me lugging around all my other camera gear.
I got tired of the MP chase some years back. Used bridge cams w/ 1/2 in. sensors. No problem. Finally settled on m 4/3rds eventually after lugging some FF's around for a couple of years. Lovely video & pics.
That view from the other side of the river overlooking Liverpool Waterfront, is spectacular. Jerry rigging the ND filter really enhanced the shot. I bet that if you mixed some edited images of your compact camera with your GH6 and possibly S5ii, I doubt many would spot the difference, especially if you did not mention the shots were taken on different cameras.
I visited Liverpool last year and completely fell in love. Other than Brighton, where I'm from, Liverpool would be my favourite place to live in the UK.
Based on the prices of compacts skyrocketing, especially those like the G10, G11, and G12 Powershots and others that are CCD based sensors, I'd say the trend has been up for compacts. I collect advanced compacts, both small and large sensor, but have put that on a bit of a hold with how cameras that might have cost me 80 bucks a year or two ago are now 150-250 in worse condition.
I recently bought a Lumix zs200/tz200 and it's now my favorite camera ever, for now anyway. 😂 I'm not a pro and I never print anything but it's convenient and easy to carry. It does the zoom and macro very well. It has all the options and manual controls the mirrorless models have. I have an addiction to shooting and need to shoot hundreds of photos everyday. Most of which are out doors so the maximum 3.3 aperture is not so bad. Mostly perfect for street. I was looking to get an 80 as a backup but after this video the prices will probably rise. Thanks 😊Please never make a video about the 100 or 200. I would like to buy backups before the price goes up LOL
This is the first camera I bought on my journey to taking photography seriously! Thank you for reminding me that, despite its limitations, it's worth keeping in my pocket!
I have one of the Panasonic bridge cameras on full frame it's 20-1200mm on the long end the lens is very soft but kind of has a painted look to those images.
Love the wings, the perfect subject captured at the perfect point. When skill and luck coincide magic happens. I don’t have a point and shoot but I have started using a low mileage Olympus E-P3 with a non functional IBIS and the two body cap lenses for street photography. The results are a technical mess but have character. I am not a professional so I can leave my higher end gear for the occasional important shoot and just play with these toys.
I had a similar camera, only with the 16 Megapixel sensor. I took some of my favorite pictures with it. I bent the lens extension on an undeveloped land real estate shoot in the woods and couldn't fix it. I just replaced it with an open box G100. These are amazing cameras, but don't drop them.
Better Call Saal! Beautiful shots. The angle is just perfect. Nearly too much luck to believe that it isn't staged. PS. Got a TZ30 a couple of months ago, the TZ80 is on my wish list.
Wow! I watched a few of your videos in 2016 when I used an Olympus for a short while and haven't watched your channel since so I have no idea what made me watch this one but I'm glad I did. My best quality ND filter is for my lens with the biggest filter size and it never occurred to me before to try just holding it in front of other lenses without buying the step down (step up?) rings. Amazing that it worked.
Hey Emily, you wanted input so here it is, even if a year late: I think you did great with the camera you decided to use, but I am sure that the results would’ve been better if you used your OM-1 instead with any lens of your choice. As for the project itself, I enjoyed watching you have fun with the water on the first tile that you played with, and I found the process of your work very satisfying from my perspective as an amateur. I suspect that it’s a cultural thing that comes into play with the other two tiles, but I think that first one was brilliant and could stand on its own. Thanks for reading my opinion.
Just starting out and all quite daunting at the mo!!! Really got learn lightroom!! Your images are amazing and I'm not a sucker for all the latest kit, but would like a camera that I can really learn with and grow with, can you give any pointers? Not sure on my 'style' yet, but love taking pictures out walking with my dog and creating interesting images from everyday things, like faces in the bark of trees! Also love the idea of getting good at street photography, any guidance most appreciated 👍
Love this style of video Emily, I considered the TZ80 at one point but went with the GX880 and 12-32 /35-100 as my pocket camera for a bit more IQ. My daughter has the TZ100 which is excellent, not quite the zoom range of the TZ80 but a much larger 1" sensor and a bargain when compared with similar spec Sony RX100 models. The blurred photo of the woman in the white outfit and the angel wings was etherial and divine! 😄
It all about how you use the gear. Amazing how instead of using the usual wide aperture/shallow depth of field approach she instead blurred the people with a long exposure! Great work eh.
Interesting! 😃👍 I purchased the TZ-101 a few years ago. It has a 1"-sensor. The advantage compared with a 1/2.3"-sensor is from my point of view that small light sources in night shots aren't "sprayed" out by the reflection from lens to lens on the sensor. (Un)fortunately smartphones are getting better and better (Currently I'm using a Samsung S22 Ultra.) so that my camera catches dust most of the time in the corner. 😥 I'm having a polarizer in my camera bag for getting nice shots of clouds. But currently I'm using the camera mostly for night shots with a tripod. The smartphone is always in my pocket anyway. And Samsung Gallery and Lightroom for Android are available for free. 🤷♂️
I’ve had a Lumix TZ90. Insane zoom. That was fun Terrible quality. ISO 200 looks mushy. Anything above iso 400 becomes useless. I don’t miss it one bit. The advertorial demands from Saal become obvious. When looking at James with his iPhone in Italy and now this, I guess the message probably was ‘regardless the camera, we can print decent prints’. I do like Saal btw. Their 30x40 is insanely low priced and prints on Fujifilm photo paper.
I love their stuff! Saal are really open with the video concepts, they only ask that we tell a story within the video about a photography journey, which I think is really cool and plenty of scope to be creative 😊
I use my TZ61 for holidays. Biggest problem is the autofocus and where it focus sharp. 3 5 or 6 points ind back and front. Never solved that problem. Most pics are okeish but not sharp. E eb id point doesnt change anything
Great episode. Wonder if this raw capabilities with dxo noise reduction, and gigapixel could make a good match. With new software it’s amazing what you can get from a Raw image. Thanks for the fun!!
I was blown away by the DXO noise reduction. You’re absolutely right, software like that is definitely giving older cameras a new lease of life! I stuck to just the Adobe Lightroom options in this video, but I think you could clean things even more with dedicated software like DXO 😊
Hi. I have been following your videos for a long time. I'm looking for a very small camera, yo carry in my pocket, with which to record home videos of my children. I have other cameras for photography. How would this modelo work on video? Any other modelo you recommend? Thanks.
Fun fact. Cameras that have vastly exceeded my expectations: 1. Petri SLR. 2. Practika SLR. 3. Sigma DSLR. 4. Olympus OM-D. Cameras that were just totally disappointing: 1. Pentax K1000 2. Nikon FM2. 3. Every NIkon DSLR. All of them. 4. Every Canon DSLR. All of them. Conclusion. The price guarantees absolutely nothing at all. With the *sole* exception of being poorer.
Could I please pick your brains about power to a GH6 or S5? Have you found a way to power your cameras for several hours at a time and NOT using USB power? I’m hoping to do some day to night time lapses and I want to record my images to an external SSD. I’d also like to film to the SSD as well. I’ve watched a couple of TH-cam’s on V mounts but this is way above my pay grade.
Ooo that’s a nice camera though! I was at the Fuji stand this last weekend at Wales and West photography show and I have to say… they’re a bit nice aren’t they?!
I think superzooms are a massive hole in the current market. Not much has happened in that space for quite a while due to smartphones consuming much of the low end camera market but I wish someone would try again. Given we all have smartphones in our pockets, and they can reasonably handle wide angle through to 5x or 10x, a camera manufacturer should release an updated version of this type of camera that just skips the first 200mm. That saving with provide some combination of size, weight and cost savings, improved sharpness, wider apertures and/or longer reach.
It’s Milanote - it’s a storyboard/ note taking/ all-round sort of software that I LOVE. It basically runs my entire life haha every single video and social post is drafted in Milanote first it’s brill
Great video showing your process. My favourite photo is the one of the wall with angels wings. I'm a sucker for brick walls of any sort, especially as I live in a "new" country. This photo takes full advantage of the artwork and I love that you blurred the figure. Lovely work, as usual. Cheers Emily!
Really beautiful challenge you created here ! You can buy filter adapter ring that you can stick in front of the lens. After that use your ND/CPL filters as usual. That changes totally the photos & video quality that you can get from the camera. I used it every time on my Lumix TZ90. Love your content !
Ooh! I love that you used the tz80! I actually picked up the tz60 a few months ago for about 45gbp (600nok). I love it! Not the sharpest lens at all, but that zoom reach is so fun to use! It seems to have a filmic quality to it too. In my opinion. :)
Fantastic results and it just shows what is capable with relatively 'budget' gear. Budget photography, of which I'm a great advocate, my cheaoest camera cost me just £4, my Canon SLR kit cost me just £20. I enjoy the challenge of making the best images I can with the cheapest possible gear. My most expensive camera was the Panasonic Lumix TZ70 which is similar to the one you used here but is the 12mp version.
These little cameras I have a special spot in my heart up to today I still keep my point and shoot with me all the time especially for street photography.. those came out awesome especially the sharpness..I liked the model after with the flip out as well as the integration of an evf. Job ems
Hi Emily. Really appreciate the simple 3-location challenge, using an inexpensive compact. Just goes to show that there's a lot of fun to be had, without breaking the bank ! Can't decide whether I prefer the Liver building reflection or the waterfront. Mind you, the reflection could mess with someone's head after a few drinks.....😂
I have a Lumix ZS100 with a third-party hand grip from a seller on eBay and I bring that everywhere as a second camera. It has shockingly good image quality and it has very acceptable low-light performance, so much so that it is my go-to camera for indoor museums and places that don't allow tripods and when I don't want to haul around my Nikon D850 and lenses. These little cameras are very liberating in many ways.
Recently I had my main body die on me while out on a photo walk, but luckily I had my little Lumix TZ110 in my pocket, bit of creative angles and I got some great shots and the day was saved! Such a capable camera, amazing lens, and it’s got IBIS! Blows my mind.
It’s very different to how I would do photography. I like to leave the pictures as close to straight out of the camera as possible, and use manufacturer picture profiles. And crop a bit if I need to. But it’s cool to see how differently you can do it. Everyone’s got their own way and that’s an awesome thing about photography. And I like that you can just hold the filter over the compact camera and it still works fine. I like the reflected one and the landscape a lot. Again, I probably would have just kept the one with the sharp buildings and discarded the other. But your composite does look really good.
Another great video, I have the Lumix ZS60 (TZ80), got it refurbished from Amazon 3 or so years ago and love using it. Only wish it had tilt screen but it is still awesome. When I am out an about with just point and shoot cameras, I take this and my recently acquired G7XMii, less zoom and larger sensor. I wanted either a LX10 or LX100 but could not afford them and found the G7X for a great price.
Super video. What fun. Does show that the kit is not always the key to better photos. I often take my Sony RX100 VII on holidays and street shoots because of the flexibility.
Great content once again. I love my compacts from the Ricoh GX200, Olympus XZ-1, Canon S series (4 of them) all produce lovely images. Then there's the RX100 III and most recently the Canon G9X II. I love them for the portability and quality especially the G9X II. Superb touch screen, speed and IQ in a tiny package that fits in jeans pocket. Of course they don't offer the same speed and IQ as my MFT gear but it's essential to always have a camera to hand and I love compact pocket rockets for that reason.
This video was a treat! It brought back warm memories of my first small M43 set-up, which was Panasonic GF-1 with the 20mm pancake lens. I've since sold it and moved on to the G9, but I am desperate to get something small again for street shooting.
This was really inspiring to see. I suffer from thinking my equipment isnt good enough, and you just proved its not about that at all. Cant wait to get out there and shoot. Thanks!
I picked up the lumix lf1 and tz60 recently and I find I'm carrying them more than my other cameras now that the sun is out. I was very lucky to get both under £50. I'm sure with the digi cam trend prices will shoot up.
Thanks Joe!! That took…. SO MANY attempts 😂 so glad I wasn’t shooting on film I’d have had to remortgage my house haha also I was super lucky it was a really sunny day - it wouldn’t have had the same effect if she was wearing a coat haha
Great video! You're awesome with whatever camera you pick up 👍 Beautiful photos! You inspired me to be more creative with my own shots and to print more 🙏 Also, congrats on your other channel, I'm also a gamer and tech lover myself 😉
I wish they would release one last refresh with USB-C. Still using a Sony DSC-HX50V, but the buttons are slowly wearing out. Power and shutter are still fine, but manual control is getting hard.
Just seeing this video. This is so cool, Emily! I love all the images - so beautiful to see them printed too! First of all, it's courageous given the cheap camera. Secondly, ingenious to add the filter that way! I would not have thought of it. Great images too! This reminds me a little of some of my GM-1 limitations and wondering if I'm just not thinking out of the box enough. You've inspired me! Cheers!
I so enjoyed this challenge! What did you think of the compact camera? Which photo did you like the best?
I love the "White Angel" shot, not just aesthetically, but having a ZS-80* I'm just surprised the shutter response was sufficiently quick to get her framed just so.
It reminds me of a shot I worked on when I worked in a pro lab that a local Montreal photographer, Valerie Simmons, won a major Hasselblad award with, back in the early 90's.
Very nice.
*[ I think your TZ-80 was called the ZS-70 here in N.A. and is one development below the "80" we have ]
Love this camera, awesome features. I liked the location one pick the best.
It was really interesting hearing you talk through composing your pictures. Your Nd filter work around was sketchy but brilliant!
The wings a fab shot, white wings white dress the shot is top banana!
The reflection was my favorite and coincidentally I just ordered this camera a few hours before seeing your video. Great content as always, thank you for sharing your talents!

I've always wanted Panasonic to make a 16mm (8mm) fixed lens micro 4/3ds compact for a small easy to carry-around landscape camera.
Inheriting a couple of older TZ models led me back into photography and taking photos for fun. A long way down the M43 rabbit hole now :-)

Wow, incredible work! I need to get rid of my GAS and just get out and shoot, lol.
Absolutely!! 🙌 (Though I cannot talk at all about GAS, clearly 😂📸)
I found it hard to get a street shot in Liverpool without getting someone being mugged in the picture 😅
Truly, you have an amazing channel! Happily subscribed and I never miss an episode! :)
Thanks so much that means a lot ☺️🙏📸
Great video showing your process. My favourite photo is the one of the wall with angels wings. I'm a sucker for brick walls of any sort, especially as I live in a "new" country. This photo takes full advantage of the artwork and I love that you blurred the figure. Lovely work, as usual. Cheers Emily!
Great work as per usual and some excellent shots from that tiny sensor
Thank you! ☺️🙏
Really beautiful challenge you created here ! You can buy filter adapter ring that you can stick in front of the lens. After that use your ND/CPL filters as usual. That changes totally the photos & video quality that you can get from the camera. I used it every time on my Lumix TZ90. Love your content !
Do you have one you'd recommend? I have a Lumix ZS80 and I know these cameras are quite similar in shape/size.
Ooh! I love that you used the tz80! I actually picked up the tz60 a few months ago for about 45gbp (600nok). I love it! Not the sharpest lens at all, but that zoom reach is so fun to use!
It seems to have a filmic quality to it too. In my opinion. :)
It does feel quite filmic!! And what a bargain you found 👀
@@MicroFourNerds was also nice to see that the tiny sensor held its own as a large print!
Had a tz60 for two years now bought second hand and its just wonderful in every way and prints easy at a4 no problems. Great video
Fantastic results and it just shows what is capable with relatively 'budget' gear.
Budget photography, of which I'm a great advocate, my cheaoest camera cost me just £4, my Canon SLR kit cost me just £20.
I enjoy the challenge of making the best images I can with the cheapest possible gear.
My most expensive camera was the Panasonic Lumix TZ70 which is similar to the one you used here but is the 12mp version.
This is a great lesson for all hungry for thinking that gear helps with the images. Knowledge is key. Thank you.
These little cameras I have a special spot in my heart up to today I still keep my point and shoot with me all the time especially for street photography.. those came out awesome especially the sharpness..I liked the model after with the flip out as well as the integration of an evf. Job ems
Hi Emily. Really appreciate the simple 3-location challenge, using an inexpensive compact. Just goes to show that there's a lot of fun to be had, without breaking the bank ! Can't decide whether I prefer the Liver building reflection or the waterfront. Mind you, the reflection could mess with someone's head after a few drinks.....😂
Thank You! Good to be reminded that I don’t have to use my G9 with the Leica to get good results.
Nice - looking for something similar but the boom in the demand means this model is currently £350 on MPB!
What a camera?
The lx10 is still a very underrated camera with a f1.4 to f2.8 focal I just wish it had a mic jack
love the photos of the people in front of the wings mural! this vid is a great reminder for me to print my photos sometimes haha
I have a Lumix ZS100 with a third-party hand grip from a seller on eBay and I bring that everywhere as a second camera. It has shockingly good image quality and it has very acceptable low-light performance, so much so that it is my go-to camera for indoor museums and places that don't allow tripods and when I don't want to haul around my Nikon D850 and lenses. These little cameras are very liberating in many ways.
Recently I had my main body die on me while out on a photo walk, but luckily I had my little Lumix TZ110 in my pocket, bit of creative angles and I got some great shots and the day was saved!
Such a capable camera, amazing lens, and it’s got IBIS! Blows my mind.
Great video em! I want to start printing more of my work too, and I also want a silly little camera 🤣
Thanks Josh!! Well… I have a wrap-up video of my ten (10) tiny cameras, ranked, coming soon! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s very different to how I would do photography. I like to leave the pictures as close to straight out of the camera as possible, and use manufacturer picture profiles. And crop a bit if I need to. But it’s cool to see how differently you can do it. Everyone’s got their own way and that’s an awesome thing about photography. And I like that you can just hold the filter over the compact camera and it still works fine. I like the reflected one and the landscape a lot. Again, I probably would have just kept the one with the sharp buildings and discarded the other. But your composite does look really good.
Thanks so much! Yes I totally agree it’s why I love photography so much - there’s no right and wrong, just expression ☺️
Another great video, I have the Lumix ZS60 (TZ80), got it refurbished from Amazon 3 or so years ago and love using it. Only wish it had tilt screen but it is still awesome. When I am out an about with just point and shoot cameras, I take this and my recently acquired G7XMii, less zoom and larger sensor. I wanted either a LX10 or LX100 but could not afford them and found the G7X for a great price.
I must have missed it. What was the model of camera used?
I'll subscribe to this channel because you are photographer and you are from Liverpool. #YNWA
Wearing hair? I use to have hair. Not so much now. Here today. Gone tomorrow.

Super video. What fun. Does show that the kit is not always the key to better photos. I often take my Sony RX100 VII on holidays and street shoots because of the flexibility.
Great content once again. I love my compacts from the Ricoh GX200, Olympus XZ-1, Canon S series (4 of them) all produce lovely images. Then there's the RX100 III and most recently the Canon G9X II. I love them for the portability and quality especially the G9X II. Superb touch screen, speed and IQ in a tiny package that fits in jeans pocket. Of course they don't offer the same speed and IQ as my MFT gear but it's essential to always have a camera to hand and I love compact pocket rockets for that reason.
This video was a treat! It brought back warm memories of my first small M43 set-up, which was Panasonic GF-1 with the 20mm pancake lens. I've since sold it and moved on to the G9, but I am desperate to get something small again for street shooting.
never mentions the camera modedl.. GG
This was really inspiring to see. I suffer from thinking my equipment isnt good enough, and you just proved its not about that at all. Cant wait to get out there and shoot. Thanks!
Which Panasonic model it is?
wearing hair. yep. thanks for this inspiring video.
I picked up the lumix lf1 and tz60 recently and I find I'm carrying them more than my other cameras now that the sun is out. I was very lucky to get both under £50. I'm sure with the digi cam trend prices will shoot up.
Bargain!!!!
which camera are you using in your video ?
The angel image is genius. Absolute genius!
Thanks Joe!! That took…. SO MANY attempts 😂 so glad I wasn’t shooting on film I’d have had to remortgage my house haha also I was super lucky it was a really sunny day - it wouldn’t have had the same effect if she was wearing a coat haha
@MicroFourNerds Honestly it's sooooo good and kudos for waiting around for the right subject
Great video! You're awesome with whatever camera you pick up 👍 Beautiful photos! You inspired me to be more creative with my own shots and to print more 🙏
Also, congrats on your other channel, I'm also a gamer and tech lover myself 😉
Aaah you found my secret channel! Excellent ☺️🥳
All the camera are like x4 the price now 😢
I wish they would release one last refresh with USB-C. Still using a Sony DSC-HX50V, but the buttons are slowly wearing out. Power and shutter are still fine, but manual control is getting hard.
Just seeing this video. This is so cool, Emily! I love all the images - so beautiful to see them printed too! First of all, it's courageous given the cheap camera. Secondly, ingenious to add the filter that way! I would not have thought of it. Great images too! This reminds me a little of some of my GM-1 limitations and wondering if I'm just not thinking out of the box enough. You've inspired me! Cheers!
Thanks you!
Your style is brilliant
