... You can browse through the below threads to see pictures of the SX60 & SX70 cameras.

The FZ80 using the same lens as the FZ70, hence one could look at:
The "Best Superzoom 2014: Eight competitors, 2.5 clear winners" (HERE) includes the FZ70, SX60 HS, and SX50 HS in comparison shots.
Interesting that the older (at the time) SX50 HS overall IQ better than the SX60 HS and the FZ70.
Below one of my SX50 HS and FZ80 215mm (1200mm EFL) comparison shots.

FZ80 even with the advantage of being release four years after the SX50 HS, and the FZ80 image downsampled to the 4000x3000 to match the SX50HS 12MP, SX50 HS image has less image noise and better resolution of small details.
However as noted in previous posts, the FZ80's ergonomics and overall operation speed is far better than the SX50 HS.
Hence, if anyone interested in the FZ80 I would 'highly recommend' to taking the time, reading, and viewing sample images at several of the full F80/ FZ82 Reviews to see if the FZ80's image quality 'good enough' for your intended use of images; e.g.:
Imaging Resource FZ80 (HERE)
Graham Houghton FZ82/ FZ80 (HERE); will need to scroll down to review.
Camera Ergonomics: Panasonic FZ80 User Review Summary June 2017 (HERE)
Camera Ergonomics: Panasonic FZ80 (andFZ300) Thoughts from a user (HERE)
Can do a Google search to find other FZ80/ FZ82 reviews.
