I’m looking for a reliable bridge camera with: • 900mm–1200mm optical zoom • Better image quality than my Panasonic FZ80 (which looks too digital for prints larger than 8x12). • A larger sensor (more than the FZ80’s 1/2.3” sensor).

What I Need:

1.  Better stabilization and more reliable autofocus (manual focus on the FZ80’s touchscreen is a pain).
2.  Improved low-light performance (FZ80 struggles above ISO 160, even though its videos at ISO 80 impress me).
3.  Charging while in use (for long timelapses—dummy batteries are fine, but built-in would be great).

I have DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, but for ultralight mountain travel and super-zoom closeups, the FZ80 is hard to beat. It’s compact and cheap enough that I don’t stress about damage, unlike my Fuji X-T1 and lenses.

I’m open to new or used options, and budget isn’t a concern as long as the camera meets these needs. Any recommendations?
