Video Comparison Between SX70 and FZ80

Here's a link to an online, side-by-side comparison  between those two cameras. I was surprised to see an edge in clarity with the SX70 and a much warmer color balance. I'd prefer a color about halfway between the two, which I think could be achieved through the settings or at least in post-processing.

This presentation seems professionally done and makes the SX70 look somewhat better than the many haphazard examples you see on that website. You just have to keep looking, to find the few examples that are well-done enough to provide useful comparisons.

Neither of the cameras have adjustable NR settings, but the SX70 has a mike input, while the FZ80 has a flash hotshoe, but no mike input nor external mike function through the hotshoe. The FZ80 has more pixels on its viewscreen, but fewer on its EVF. The FZ80 has threads for a telextender adapter tube, if you can find one, as Panasonic doesn't sell them any longer. There are a few available from scalpers on eBay, at double or triple prices.
