A real treasure. photography with fun.

I’m over the moon with this camera! It reminds me of my old Minolta XGM, only on a smaller scale. Versatile, adaptable and fun to use and it’s also the same colour!
This camera has put the enjoyment back into photography for me, so I can’t really fault it, perhaps a shame the max aperture is only to f8, f22 would have been better, but I’m not complaining.
As it has a decent Leica lens the photos it takes are fantastic both on auto and manual, with great focus and good depth of field when required. I mostly photograph landscapes, for so me the camera is ideal without having the bulk of a SLR. The automatic panorama feature is a nice plus, though I don’t use it that often. Amazing zoom to 720 mm (35 mm equivalent) and good wide angle, with other useful features such as EV, flash and manual tweaking of focus accessible under the right thumb.
One of the features I particularly value is the viewfinder. It's excellent and saves me having to put glasses on to see the screen when taking photos.
Solidly made and quite weighty, in my opinion it's a quality camera.
All in all, too many great features to list!Read full review

Great value with exceptional zoom

I bought the TZ70 for one reason only, the 30x optic zoom, which the Lumix 100 that I usually use cannot deal with. I have some long-view projects to complete and this camera will enable me to do this. At 25-30x zoom the image is acceptable, even surprisingly good. The image stabilisation does a pretty good job but, unsurprisingly, things improve further when using a tripod. The camera came refurbished by Panasonic and so is in excellent condition and works perfectly. At £120.00 this is superb value. As an easy to use, carry anywhere camera it is pretty good but the Lumix does have better IQ. Overall, I am very impressed with the camera, the Panasonic refurb. and the eBay service.Read full review

Best value travelzoom camera with realistic specs

Cameras of this type usually have 20mp sensors. This is far too many on a small 1/2.3 type sensor, which causes too much noise and poor image quality in low light shots. Panasonic got it right by going down to 12mp, which means fewer but much bigger pixels, each capturing more light. The TZ70 is still a very full featured camera which is a joy to use. I was impressed by how smoothly the WiFi functions work. There are only a couple of cons with this camera. The flash is easily obstructed by your fingers when used - a pop-up design would have been better. Also I'd like to have the ability to adjust noise reduction and image sharpening like the Sony cameras offer. On the whole however, I rate this camera as better than all the other travelzoom compacts which cost more, in some cases, double the price.Read full review

Pocket sized to notch holiday camera

Selected the TZ70 over later models as the lower pixel count is more than enough and results in better low light performance. Excellent zoom and easy to use. The camera lives up to the reviews. I prefer the fixed LCD screen as it keeps the weight and bulk down.

For a fast, easy to use holiday camera with an ecellent zoom to capture more distand sights, this little pocket sized camera takes some beatingRead full review

Handy size and lots of features

I haven't used it much yet but am impressed with the things that it can do. To use the features properly you will need to download the comprehensive instructions although the point and shoot pictures seem very good.

I was seduced into buying by the Leica name on the lens. I'm looking forward to learning to use more of the camera's capabilities.Read full review

Compact with full manual settings.

Great camera which fits in a jacket pocket if required and has great features. Full manual control, program mode, full auto or 'creative' options + an amazing 30x zoom lens.
The camera has a screen and a small viewfinder, which I find very useful.

Unsure yet about battery life, so have obtained a second one to use as a spare.Read full review

Just the ticket!

Bought this for my husband's birthday. He is delighted with it. He prefers a viewfinder and this one comes up automatically when you raise it to your eye. Brilliant! Small easy to use camera with all the clever features. Nice clear pictures. He couldn't be more pleasedRead full review

EVF makes a big difference

I had a Linux TZ18 but you can't see the screen in bright light and most of my holidays are in sunny places. I bought this refurbished TZ70, looks brand new and does all that the TZ18 did and more - great purchase.
The EVF has a sensor that turns the screen off - confused me at first when I was learning the camera.Read full review

Excellent Digital Camera

This is the third Panasonic Lumix digital camera I have had and they continue to get better and better. It is surprisingly heavy and has a solid 'old fashioned' feel to it. However it certainly takes an excellent photo and has many additional features that I have yet to explore. Recommended.Read full review

Good relacement at a very good price

My wife has had a camera of this type for over 18 months and loved it but, while on holiday, she dropped it with the lens extended and it would not work afterwards. We had a quote to fix it but it was too expensive. I was able to buy this replacement for about 60% of what we were quoted for the repair and it works just like the other one did.Read full review
