Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ70 Pro Reviews

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 is a pocket-friendly camera with a 30x zoom lens, Raw shooting support, and an EVF. It costs a little bit more than competing models, but still manages to earn Editors' Choice honors.

There aren't many pocketable compact cameras that have both a 30x optical zoom lens, and an electronic viewfinder, or LVF as Panasonic call it. The TZ70 has all the features you'd want from a travel camera and doesn't disappoint in terms of its image quality. The camera has full manual controls, and shooting RAW didn't slow the camera down. The LVF is a handy extra that you don't see on many compact cameras and its addition will appeal to many, as there are many photographers who much prefer to compose shots using a viewfinder rather than the screen. Overall, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ70 offers plenty, for a reasonable price. If you want a built in electronic viewfinder, as well as better low-light performance, then the 12.1 megapixel Panasonic Lumix TZ70 is a very good choice, particularly when the competition offers 16 or 20 megapixels in comparison, which often results in higher noise.
