Here we are comparing two Panasonic cameras cameras with different body types: Panasonic FZ1000 II, which was introduced in February 2019 is a Large Sensor Superzoom camera with a 20.0MP 1″ sensor whereas Panasonic ZS80, which was introduced in February 2018 is a Small Sensor Superzoom camera with a 20.0MP sensor. There is 12 months difference between FZ1000 II and ZS80 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger FZ1000 II, especially in sensor tech.
Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Panasonic FZ1000 II is ranked
#3 out of 10 Large Sensor Superzoom cameras with an overall score of 66 whereas Panasonic ZS80 is ranked
#4 out of 245 Small Sensor Superzoom cameras with an overall score of 59.
